    It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h6 There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

    Mate, thanks so much for this! I was trying to install a new Deta fan and couldn’t figure out why those clips wouldn’t attach to the drywall properly. The instructions in the box neglected to mention I needed to loosen the screws first and then push the clips up before tightening again. You’re a legend. Fan is now installed and working perfectly.

    Hey Bill! Appreciate these videos as always. Do you think its a good idea to vent the exhaust air out of the roof space? I'm concerned that moist air could damage timber and cause mould growth in the roof.

  • @jenbale

    What if you have a combined light and exhaust fan, is it stil just a plug in ?

  • @RestoreTechnique
    @RestoreTechnique Год назад

    Hey mate, I bought this Arlec 250mm exhaust, and cannot for the life of me see how its suppose to work. If the fan clamps onto the plasterboard snugly, then how is the clip on grill suppose to get the clips over the fan bezel?
    My clip on grill doesn't clip on, because there's no room between the fan bezel and the plaster. If I leave room by not tightening the screws, then the fan is loose, and then gets pushed up when I try to clip the grill on. This appears to be the worst engineered product, am I missing something?

      Hi, if it’s a power socket than no circuit breaker needs to be turn off and no switch. It’s similar to a power point in the roof cavity without an on and off switch👍

  • @ronaldostrowski4014
    @ronaldostrowski4014 3 месяца назад

    This is a great video. Sadly I bought a Delta 250 mm and the screws hardly budge to tighten when clamped to the ceiling. Putting on the cover is hard because of the poor clip design. I think I will take it back.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  3 месяца назад

      Try and have another look at the clamps to make sure they are in the right position. Could be a simple thing that is preventing it from clamping

  • @satya128fly
    @satya128fly 3 года назад +1

    the clamps are great idea.... but lets say if the fan fails how do you undo the clamps, if your hands are small enough, you can put your hands through the fan to the other side and push the clamps but if your hands big thats it.. i donno how u would remove it

    Hmm. Your land’s exhaust fans are not like ours in the U.S.. For one, we pipe the exhaust air to contain any humidity and odors. Secondly, the fan motors and blades are puny, like those that cool personal computers.
