Extractor Fan Installation, Repair & Replacement in 1234 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX, US - Domestic & Commercial Ventilation Solutions

Common signs include loud rattling, poor airflow, persistent condensation, mould growth, a fan not switching on, very slow extraction, or visible wear on the grille or casing. Older fans may also fail to meet current airflow or Building Regulation requirements.

Fan size depends on room volume, usage, and duct length. Bathrooms typically require 15–30L/s extraction, while kitchens need 60–90L/s. We calculate airflow and select the correct axial, centrifugal, or inline model during the initial assessment.

Yes. New duct routes can be created through walls, ceilings, or loft spaces. We install external vents, backdraught shutters, and weatherproof grilles as part of the service. If ducting is not feasible, window or ceiling-mounted alternatives may be recommended.

Noise usually indicates worn bearings, imbalance, blocked ducting, incorrect installation, or an old motor. We diagnose the cause and either repair the unit or replace it with a quieter, modern model such as an inline or mixed-flow fan.

Yes. We install low-voltage (SELV) and IP-rated fans for all bathroom zones, including directly above showers. These installs must meet BS 7671 and Part P requirements and should only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Most standard replacements take 45–90 minutes. New installations with wiring, ducting, or external vents usually take 2–4 hours. More complex commercial installs may take longer depending on access and building structure.

Yes. We repair faults such as failed motors, faulty timers, broken pull cords, disconnected ducting, wiring issues, stuck shutters, and fans that run constantly or won't turn off. If repairs are not cost-effective, we recommend a replacement solution.

Under modern Building Regulations, most new bathrooms and ensuites require an extractor fan, especially those with no windows. Landlords must also provide adequate ventilation to prevent mould under HHSRS guidelines.

Axial fans are used for short duct runs, centrifugal fans provide higher pressure for longer ducts, and inline fans sit in the loft for quieter operation and strong performance. We select the right model based on your layout and airflow requirements.

Yes. We install domestic kitchen extractor fans and commercial extraction systems including canopy fans, cooker hoods, wall fans, and ducted extraction units designed for high-temperature and grease-laden environments.

The fan may not be powerful enough, the duct may be blocked, the run-on timer may be too short, or the unit may not be positioned correctly. In some cases, upgrading to a centrifugal or inline fan with stronger extraction is necessary.

Yes. Humidistat fans automatically activate when moisture levels rise and continue running until humidity drops. These help prevent mould, especially in poorly ventilated bathrooms or rental properties.

Yes. Fans should be cleaned every 6–12 months and ducting checked for blockages. Commercial fans require more frequent maintenance. We offer scheduled servicing for residential and commercial properties.

Absolutely. Correct extraction removes moisture at the source, prevents condensation, and significantly reduces mould growth. Upgrading ventilation is often the most effective long-term solution for damp bathroom ceilings or musty rooms.

Yes. Inline and mixed-flow fans are extremely quiet because the motor is located in the loft. Silent axial and ultra-low-noise fans are also available for bedrooms, ensuites, and noise-sensitive rooms.

Typical prices range from £120 for replacements to £180–£300 for new bathroom or kitchen installs. Inline or high-capacity systems cost £250–£450, and commercial systems start at around £400+. Quotes include labour, wiring, ducting, and certification.

Yes. Fans can be wired to the bathroom light, fitted with adjustable overrun timers, humidistats, pull cords, PIR sensors, or independent isolator switches. We configure controls to suit your preferences and usage patterns.

Yes. All electrical work must be certified. You receive a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) or an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) depending on the job. This documentation is required for landlords, house sales, and compliance.

Yes. We install compliant ventilation systems that meet HHSRS and licensing requirements. Landlords benefit from humidity fans, continuous running fans, and timed extractions to reduce mould complaints.
