In-line Extractor Fans

 

In-line extractor fans are an essential part of any bathroom ventilation system. They are designed to remove moisture, odours, and pollutants from the air, which can help to prevent mould, mildew, and other health hazards. When mounted in a loft space, in-line extractor fans can be an effective way to improve the ventilation of a bathroom without taking up valuable wall space.

In new blocks of Flats some In-line extractor fans are installed in the ductwork of a building\'s ventilation system. They are designed to be installed inline with the existing ductwork, which means they can be found in a loft space or service / hallway cupboard.  We have found that in a number of cases the original extractor fans have failed on their bearings, which necessitate a complete new (fairly expensive replacement.

 

When selecting an in-line extractor fan for a bathroom, there are several factors to consider. The fan should be powerful enough to adequately ventilate the space, and it should be designed to operate quietly to avoid disrupting occupants. It is also important to consider the size of the fan and the length of the ductwork, as these factors can impact the fan\'s effectiveness.

At Bright Spark Electrical Services we offer a Free no obligation survey by one of our Professional Experienced Electricians, who can recommend the correct Fan to suit your requirements.

 

Once the appropriate fan has been selected, it can be installed in the loft space above the bathroom. The fan should be mounted in a location that is accessible for maintenance and cleaning, and it should be connected to the existing ductwork using appropriate connectors and fittings.

One of the benefits of installing an in-line extractor fan in a loft space is that it can help to reduce noise levels in the bathroom. Because the fan is mounted remotely from the bathroom, it can be designed to operate more quietly than a traditional wall-mounted fan. This can make a significant difference in the comfort of occupants and can help to create a more peaceful and relaxing bathroom environment.

 

The in-line extractor fan makes them an ideal solution for bathrooms where wall space is limited or where a more discreet installation is desired.

 

The extractor fans are normally installed to work in conjunction with the lights, where the lights are switched on, and the fan starts to run,  they also have timer run-ons, so when the lights are extinguished, they continue to run for a while longer.

 

Other options also include the installation of a humidistat, which in conjunction with the timer, continues to run until the relative humidity of the bathroom is reduced to a pre-set level.

 

 

For new bathroom installations at Bright Spark Electrical Services we install a Triple Pole Isolation switch outside the bathroom, for simple / safe Isolation of the Fan.
