- Hello guys! In this video I show you how to make a full installation of a bathroom exhaust fan. I show you how to install the wiring, how to cut the hole in the ceiling and how to install the electrical switch. I hope that you find this video helpful. Please keep in mind that working with electricity in dangerous and if you don't feel comfortable or have no experience working with it you should get professional help.

Thank all of you electricians for those drywall patch jobs. You and the plumbers make me a good living patching and painting these cutouts.
I just put blank covers so I leave customer happy and no work for U! 😁
Thanks for the great video. Proof you can make an informative video without it needing to be 45 minutes long.
Dude, you're a life saver. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you.
Well done. Like that you sped it up...saved lots of time looking at the screen. 👍
More of the information that I need for my project. Love the music.
Great video! Thanks for posting this
Good video, exactly what I needed to see. I’m definitely not electrically inclined
Thank you for a great video that made things so simple! YOU ARE THE BEST!
1st vid yet , thanks vato
Thanks for sharing good info !!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Great job....
thank you for sharing!!!
Very nice work. One see See the confidence in you. A small suggestion regarding taping around the screws. I always do it, as it gives a little bit more insurance. I’m not a pro, but I have done many electrical projects. Thanks to mostly standardized and very innovative products, I find electrical work to be very interesting. Of course SAFETY FIRST. I like the double toggle switch. I have not come across that one
Excellent job my friend I know work in the attic It’s not easy but somebody have to do ha ha 😎👍
Is never easy. Thanks.
Good job muchacho..
make sure to insulate your vent piping next time so it doesn’t sweat in the attic
Good video keep going 👍
Thanks for the support. I hope to keep uploading good content that helps.
Buen video. Es exactamente lo que tengo que hacer en mi proyecto de un baño que estoy reconstruyendo. No soy electricista pero he llevado electricidad y magnetismo y sistemas digitales y circuitos AC/DC en la escuela.
Mi problema es con los códigos, creo que el 12/2 como mencionaste es suficiente. Tengo 1800 watts disponibles.
Ya andamos suscritos, finalmente encontramos el canal 🙋🏼♂️
Gracias brother!! Un abrazo.
Nice one
If you installed the flex hose in the attic, I think it should be of the insulated type. Condensation can build up on that uninsulated hose in cold weather.
When you have to make holes in the wall to pull wire use stud finder and save the drywall piece mud backin and buy some texture spray and paint you will not even see it no fear of making holes it is just the process
I agree, the work and music is beautiful. What's the name of the song.
I dont remember. Is one in the CZcams librery. Thanks for watching!!
A thanks
Could also possibly pull one of the existing electrical wires up the hole like a pull string with your current Romex attached. Then pull the existing back down with the new cable.
If they are stapled that would be impossible!
Just out of curiosity, what brand of exhaust fan did you use?
Can you not bridge the black wire from the light switch to also power the fan?
So if I have 14/3 can I run 12/2 to the switch to connect it
At 10:23 why did you leave the tab in the center? Do you HAVE to leave it in or would it make a difference if you remove that tab for this particular wiring job?
Good video. I like the double switch, but who install the exhaust duct?
You can install a soffit exhaust vent if you want or have a roofing contractor to intall a roof exhaust. The secon option is a little more complicated and expensive. Good luck!
Would you like to test generator inlet box ?
Que calibre de cable y amperage usas para esa installation? Gracias por el video.
Todo depende del circuito existente. En este caso se utilizo cable #12 por qoe el circuito era de 20 amperes pero tambien puede ser de 15 amperes el cual requiere in cable #14. Gracias por el apoyo!
@@leafelectricllc5526 Buen punto de vista. !!!
What would that cost to have done? Thanks
I have a fan with light i want to work together when switched. Is the instalation pretty much the same? Exact thing you have here, just a light with fan.
Correct!. Just make sure you join together the fan and the light wire together with the black wire coming from the switch. Thanks for watching!
I loved the video!!! where are you guys located?
We are located in central Florida. Polk County!! Thanks for watching!
Great Florida I'm in California need some one like your self ..🤦♂️🤷♂️
Wait. How did you know where to cut in the ceiling? You made it exactly to where you can screw the fan to the wooden beam
Hello, I did by knocking on the ceiling and by sound but you can use a stud finder to be sure where the stud is. Once you find the stud you want to use the stud as a guide and cut along the stud and from there make the square.
Hi, found out my builder did not vent my bathroom exhaust fan to outside. Who do I call to run the ducts to the side of the house? An electrician, hvac?
An HVAC guy should be able to help you with the ductwork. Good luck.
What's a rough estimate for a job like this?
Should the vent duct be insulated?
No, a regular 4 in aluminum duct will do! Thanks for watching!!
advent (magnet ) n vent 🔈🔈
Hey bro I live in Tampa Florida. Do you know anybody out here that you can recommend. I'm having the same issue and I need somebody to install a exhaust fan in the bathroom
I dont know anyone in that area. Im located an hour and a half away from Tampa. Here is my number in any case. 863-212-4680! Thanks for watching!
Why didn’t you replace the outlet with gfci?
It was protected by the other bathroom GFI!! 😊😊👍. Thanks for watching!
how do i run the vent to outside
You can put a soffit exhaust or hire a contractor to intall a roof exhaust! Good luck.
I installed a fan in the bathroom using the existing light switch, but when the switch is off the fan runs then when I turn the switch on the light come on and the fan goes off, what is going on ? Help helpp😢
How long should this take an electrician
All houses and scenarios are different but I would say is a 2hr average job give or take. Depends on the attic (if any), the framing, the ductwork, etc.
So where’d you vent it??
Yeah same cuestión so u just left the conduct in the attic?
how much would you charge for this installation?
All really depends on the specific scenario but you can expect to be charged $550- $750 depending on where are you located. The exhaust fan is supplied by the customer. Good luck!
Sigue haciendo videos
Pronto vengo con mas gracias por el apoyo!!
