"There's the smoke, all carrying out right through there" Yeah, and if the job had been done right by going up through the cabinet and roof, we would see the smoke only at the stove instead of all through the whole kitchen.

@user-fo3lz4dj8s 2 месяца назад

This cowboy builder just needed a stetson hat. The fan was installed above a sink which will be an electrical hazard apart from ruining the aesthetic of the place and being situated about 12 feet away from the source of the exhaust. Then, he decides to cut from inside to outside. This might not matter with wood framed houses but he could at least have checked what was outside before he started! He seemed surprised that the fascia was sloped downwards as if it was some sort of construction fault that he was helping the customer overcome! My hero. I would not let that guy within ten miles of my house and I would be checking all his electrical work as well.

@charlesajouri7233 8 лет назад

This is a really bad solution! The grease laden smoke and smells will have to rise to the ceiling and travel across the kitchen to get exhausted to the outside. That means all the surfaces will accumulate a layer of dusty sticky grease. A better solution would have been to go through the ceiling above the range to the attic and exhaust through the roof. Not much more work. My advice to the lady is keep using the fan in the microwave with the wall fan. That way the microwave fan filters will catch some of the grease before it takes its 'journey' across your kitchen.

@prizim-5002 8 лет назад

What they should have done is put the fan in the middle of the ceiling, connected to a switch to turn it on, venting through the attic to the outside.

@depv343 7 лет назад

maybe just use the microwave vent while she's cooking and the wall vent for the smell afterwards?

@maxcohen13 8 лет назад

So, I couldn't help but notice that the outtake fan has the flapper pointing down, which means the smell will be going out of the fan and directed downward. However, the fan was installed above one of the windows that will likely be open to let fresh air in. So the smelly air will go out the fan and back in through the window?

@briancnc 8 лет назад

I suspect he could make the argument that there wasn't a great alternative and that in the warmer days the windows will all be open, so the f will not be used as much as they would in the winter. Pull chain got me though, I mean really? Her home is an antique but really?

@maxcohen13 8 лет назад

The first thing he stated was that the best way to do this was to fun a vent from the out take fan above the stove out, but that was "a lot of work." They should've done that anyway.

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ru-vid.comUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

@eaglevision993 4 года назад

Yes this was not very nice work. He should have used a holesaw when cutting lathe and plaster, and the fan should be on the same circuit of the kitchen or its own one. Aside from that, it would not have been that much work to do it right and install a vent hood above the range. Way more efficient as drawing the greasy air all along the kitchen ceiling.

@jaykapp9016 7 лет назад

After all that unnecessary running the wires so FAR AWAY,cutting a hole in the house,having to make a frame etc: which should have been figured BEFOREHAND WHY wasnt it installed in attic right above and vented there too ? you were standing right there doing the wiring and still didn't install a wall switch to replace PULL CHAIN I SURE as heck wouldn't hire this guy. time and money could have been saved if the job was properly PLANNED !!

@byron2521 4 года назад

I watched this because I am thinking of doing an in-wall fan like this in my bathroom. But, I agree with some of the other comments below. For a kitchen this does not solve the problem of grease accumulating on the ceiling. Those simple over the stove fans that just vent back into the kitchen usually are not adequate enough to trap enough grease. And I also don't like the pull chain switch. I'm surprised they even still make those, that is what they used over 50 years ago. I know, I replaced a 50 year old one with a pull chain in my kitchen a few years ago. BTW which was behind the stove where it belongs. I will try to find one with a little more modern switch. For such a nice older home, this seems like a cheap fix. And I don't mean "cheap" in a good way. Think I would have spent the extra time and money to vent through the attic. However, with such a long run of vent duct, I don't know how you prevent the buildup of grease in the duct. I guess at least you can clean it off of the walls and ceiling.

@sueemrick9075 Год назад

Did you do this in your bathroom? I'm thinking about doing the same as I am going to DIY and I can't imagine going through the ceiling and roof. I thought this might be doable, for me.

@TatersUnited Год назад

What did you end up doing for the bathroom? I’m considering do this above the back wall of my shower. I don’t have enough roof overhang to properly vent it out through the ceiling, and this seems like a much quicker job anyway.

@mcseforsale 6 месяцев назад

I'm curious if you've done this also as I have a 1st floor bathroom with no attic access (obviously), but 2 outside walls. It'd have to have its own switch also as I'd be piggybacking it off an existing circuit. While I don't like the idea of the wall fan, the thought of running a vent hose through the above joists doesn't excite me either.

*everytime I cook, it smells terrible* Lady, I dont think you need a fan, I think you need to read up on how to cook.

Have you ever heard about a vegetable called “onion”?

@sandrasalmon1219 4 года назад

You are an idiot 🤮

@xhonkeri4066 4 года назад

Bagsy well there are various fish recipes that require onions

Maybe a better solution would've been to have a fan in the ceiling right above the stove on a switch and then duct it outside from the attic? That seems like a long way for smoke to travel to be vented.

He literally said that was the best option in the video.

In australia 🇦🇺 We don’t have microwaves above the oven That is where you put a large exhaust fans that go into the roof ceiling Interesting where he put the exhaust fan I would’ve thought he would’ve installed it above the oven in the ceiling not away from it

@ericwotton2046 4 года назад

I feel like it would have been less work to send a vent up from the mircro / hood and send it thru the roof. But in all it gets the job done.

@scottslotterbeck3796 10 месяцев назад

I would have done that as well, maybe they couldn't for some reason.

I prefer to install the triangle shaped exhaust fan when I work on clients remodeling projects.

You should have shown turning of the electrical breaker before cutting into wires.

People will learn after the mess up once.

@scottslotterbeck3796 10 месяцев назад

You should already know that. Duh.

Here in 2021. Unsure how I feel about this solution. For a quick easy fix, this may have been good, and also for television. But for something that requires more efficiency & convenience over a longer length of time, I think a more controlled way to vent the air out might have been better.

He's not mentioned or show on video how he cut header above window. Header have purpose to carry weight and they should not be notched

@qd1833 7 лет назад

Worst solution ever. Grease will build up on the wall before it reaches that tiny fan.

Electrician: "I have the solution. You need a hole in the wall to let the smoke out." Voiceover: "It would appear neither the homeowner nor the electrician noticed the window that could be opened to let smoke out."

@bruizzz13 4 года назад

You’d need something to pull all that smell and smoke out, opening the window wouldn’t be enough

Cant seem to find one for the bathroom that vents directly out the back fir exterior wall, any suggestions

@JustCherylLynn 2 месяца назад

Why didn't they put the link where you can find the exhaust fan

@cguron 5 лет назад

I tried this solution at my home. In a few months the Broan brand fan became very noisy and its outside flap door broke from its spring. The solution takes the cooking fumes and steam across the kitchen. What about a bath fan that moved just as much air just above the cooking range?
