    I have a membrane rough in my building and it will cost us thousands of dollars to add an additional hole in the membrane. We have two bathrooms back-to-back and only one exhaust vent for one bathroom. I would like to combine both exhaust fans into one output so I don't have to cut another hole...

    I have a laundry which is not adjacent to any exterior walls making it difficult or impossible to install a room exhaust directly outside. We are experiencing musty odors in the laundry room. I know I cannot have the dryer vent share a bathroom exhaust fan vent. But can I have the laundry room...

    I'm getting ready to install an exhaust fan in my new basement bathroom. I'm stuck on where to place it. In the photos, you can see I have two locations to choose from. My issue is that there is a beam the separates the shower and bathroom spaces. I'm thinking this will cause the moist air...

    I moved into brand new place 8-9 months ago. A couple of months ago, the bathroom fan started making a terribly loud rattly noise just sometimes. Not on and off, but either it runs (relatively) quiet for the duration. Or it runs disfunctionally loud for the duration. I can't figure out any...

    I am installing an exhaust fan in a 1st floor bathroom and I am trying to decide on the exterior vent to use. Based on where the bathroom is and what it would take to vent through the roof, that route is not feasible due to its location. As a result, I plant to run the 4 in vent pipe parallel in...

    Hello, I just had a new propane boiler installed which is working well, but I have one question/concern about the install. Attached is a photo of the exhaust vent. It is oriented horizontally, so the warm air blows out sideways. I have two concerns about this. One, it is somewhat noisy (like...

    Hello folks, the previous owner used single-wall exhaust pipe for the furnace and it went up the chimney out the top of the house. What can I use to replace it? I've got 2x90 bends to make and about 16 foot upwards? Can I bore a hole in the side of the house that the furnace is near and...

    I'm replacing a non-functioning exhaust fan and light with a new unit and I wasn't smart enough to make note of how it was wired before removing the old unit.
