How to Install a Replacement Bathroom Fan

Replacing a bathroom fan is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure a safe and proper installation.

Tools and Materials

Replacement bathroom fan
Screwdriver
Wire cutters
Electrical tape
Caulk gun
Caulk

Instructions

Turn off the power to the bathroom at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Remove the old fan by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. Carefully disconnect the electrical wires from the fan.
Prepare the new fan by cutting the wires to the appropriate length. Connect the wires to the fan's terminals, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Position the new fan in the opening and secure it with screws.
Caulk around the edges of the fan to seal it and prevent drafts.
Turn on the power and test the fan to make sure it is working properly.

Make sure the new fan fits in the same opening as the old fan.
If you are not comfortable working with electricity, hire a qualified electrician to install the fan.
