Why you should get an electrician to replace your extractor fan
From hot showers to baths and running taps – bathrooms are usually the most humid rooms in your house. Without ventilation, steam and moisture will condensate on cold surfaces and leave the room damp. And over time, mould, mildew and rot will grow on tiles, window frames and plaster. So if your extractor fan is not working as it should, it’s best to replace it before damp sets in.
Your extractor fan works with electricity, so to protect you, your family and home, we recommend asking a Part P qualified electrician for help. Your electrician will first look at the installation area to make sure it’s suitable for your new fan. They’ll then switch off the energy supply, fit the extractor fan and secure the wiring. When everything is done, they’ll turn your power back on, test the fan and clean their work area before they head off.
