Install Bathroom Heater Light

I want to replace this original set up with a newer all in one bathroom exhaust fan unit that has an exhaust fan with a light and heat functions all built in to one the one unit.

Install bathroom heater light.

After completing the installation turn the branch circuit breaker back on and test your new bathroom heater fan. Warm up to a job well done. If possible run the duct straight out through a wall. Before you install your new bathroom exhaust fan heater you ll have to calculate the circuit load.

Plan the installation so the vent duct is as short as possible and makes as few turns as possible. A heater uses more power than a light and fan so it may need to be on its own circuit. Install the new bathroom heater fan according to the manufacturer s instructions. Reshape the sheet rock hole as needed.

In the attic there were two wire cable feeds. Light heater fans install in the ceiling at the location of the existing fan and operate using switches on the wall. In addition to a vent fan a bathroom unit may have a light night light or heater. It is possible that hat the circuit wire size running to the lights is not adequate to allow for a heater kit.

An electrician deactivates the electrical circuit before you start the job. I have a bathroom that has an exhaust fan with a light and heater which are all separate units.
