Great video, refreshing to see how it is actually done. Hate these videos that make it look so easy.

I didn't realize they incorporate humidity sensing switch. Thank you.

THanks for the video. one of the most useful i have seen so far.

Really great video! Thank you..

at 20 years old, now is a good time to clean out the vent hose also. I have mine down at the moment and it's terrible! Hooking up a strong shop vac alternating the vacuum and blower a couple of times gets most of the crap out of the line.

Thanks for this video. 😀

Just did a install and it went perfectly. Thanks for the help

Nice,, glad I could help!

Thanks for this walk thru !! Great job 😻

Very informative video. Perhaps a follow up could be one that shows some of the problems that you could run into when attempting this for the first time

Thanks John, I will do a follow up video. I actually installed the same fan in my other bathroom and I’m having different results with each fan.

@@rogueremodel2993 Different results with each fan install is typical. Especially on exhaust fans that are original construction, installed and or installed with no attic or crawl space access. I have done installs where no crawl space or attic access and everything was installed with solid ducting. You remove the old exhaust fan ,finally, just to realize without taking out ceiling drywall to adjust for the re-ducting you have quite the Rubik's cube. Great call out, great point. In some instances you just have to cut out drywall to get the job done and then redo some dry wall.

@@markrodli1811amen to that, I’m almost done with replacing a loud fan. It’s literally multi day event and I ended up cutting out the drywall to gain access to the old unit. The old unit was mounted solid between floor joists and the builder didn’t meant for it to come out. Then these fan you buy at big box store has no brackets or made available bracket kit to mount the new unit correctly. 2 more days ordered from Amazon…. It’s not as simple as a 30 minutes install.

You don’t SCREW the housing into the joists?

Nice!!!

I got a fan from Costco and pretty much looks the same except branded differently. I think it would be easier if you took the fan out before you put it up. Wish me luck this week.

Yeah, same, good luck!

Good. I was fearing that I would have to go into the attic to swap mine out.

Excellent catch..worth at least $100....🙃

My old vent has bigger hole. Does that mean revent won't fit

Would you recommend them?

This is the first video I have seen where the installer had to mess with blown insulation! (You should tell the viewers why you wanted to avoid the attic!) I am dealing with his issue now. I have an exhaust fan that has brackets in the attic. I wonder if there is a way to get the old box out of the hole without messing with those brackets, that are under several inches of blown insulation?

Hi George, sorry you’re having to deal with the insulation. I was able to remove the old fan and brackets from the bathroom, but it did take some brunt force.

I have a red wire coming from the wall what do I hook that to? It went to a black on the old Dan.

I’d hook it up the same as the old fan and see if that works. If not, I’d call an electrician.

I didn't buy the model with the switch but my old fan has a humidity sensor. Can I use the old humidity sensor with this fan?

@rogueremodel2993

Is the humidity sensor in the old fan, or is it at the switch?

Can you do this with one that has a light in it or would you need attic space for that

As long as it has SheetLock on the box, you should be able to do it from below.

Thx for this. Maybe just remove the fan from beginning if ur going to remove it towards end.

Good point, that’s definitely what I would do next time. Thanks!

I need to replace mine, but they're old enough that their housings are round -- like recessed can lights -- but all new ones are square. So I also have to do some drywall work and then texture matching. Oh, and the round housings aren't screwed in. They're double-nailed with the heads overlapping. I think the installer had just bought a pneumatic palm nailer and decided to use it on everything.

What happen to the switch that you were going to install from the beginning

I decided not to install the humidistat because I wanted to be able to turn it off manually. Sorry, I decided that after turning it on and did not mention it in the video.

It works, sorry, my mic probably wouldn’t do the fan justice when it’s on. It’s not the quietest fan, but that can be good for masking undesirable sounds if you know what I mean!

yeah sure looks easy

Wish you had turned it on. Trying to figure out if mine is noisier than it should be.

You should've removed the motor first and it would've been lighter to install the housing
