Good installation practices are easy wins for making an #Extractor work less yet perform better.

In this video your friendly local #electrician serving #Medway & #Maidstone explores some of the good installation practices that, if not adhered to, might leave you a poorly bathroom extractor fan installation that doesn't perform - or worse - has negative consequences.

When we install bathroom extractor fans, we want to use ducting, and create airtight joints, to make sure the water-laden air ends up outside of the property, rather than in the loft space or in air gaps in the walls.

When we put extractor fans and ducting in the loft, we really have to be mindful of the lower termperature of the loft and the condensation effects in the ducting.

When we use ducting, we really have to be mindful of air resistance and drag that the ducting itself introduces, slowing air flow and limiting performance. bends in the ducting, the ducting diameter, and the overall ducting length all play a key part in unwanted airflow reduction for our bathroom extractor fans.
