When You Should Consider a New Fan Installation

Choosing the right time for a new fan install can prevent headaches and protect your Sydney property. Our team at AJ Services Group have seen the difference a timely upgrade makes, both for comfort and safety.

Persistent Dampness or Mould After Showers

If your bathroom stays humid well after use or you’re finding mould and mildew spots, your current fan may not be keeping up. Proper bathroom fan installation ensures enough airflow to remove moisture, protecting walls, paint, and your family’s air quality. We assess the right fan size and placement for Sydney homes, which is key for lasting results.

Loud or Unusual Fan Noises

Grating, squealing, or sudden loud hums all point to internal wear or failing parts. Noise changes are a common sign the fan is on its way out, often due to motor or blade problems. We see this often in Sydney, and replacing with a new, efficient fan removes these risks and brings quieter operation.

Burnt Smells or Electrical Concerns

Any burnt odour, hint of ozone, or visible smoke from your fan is a top priority safety issue. These issues are especially risky in older homes lacking thermal overload protection. As licensed electricians, we make sure new shower fan installs meet local electrical codes and resolve hidden wiring threats for peace of mind.

Outdated Fan Over 10 Years Old

Fans naturally lose efficiency and reliability as they age. Units older than a decade usually lack modern energy-saving features and are more prone to overheated components. Upgrading not only cuts down noise and power bills but also boosts safety measures. Our team helps you select models suited for everything from heritage terraces to modern apartments.

If you’re noticing any of these issues, AJ Services Group is ready to guide the next steps in setting up your vent installation. Reach out to us early so we can help you avoid bigger problems down the track.

 

 

Types Of Shower Fans We Install

Our team at AJ Services Group handles a range of bathroom fan installations across Sydney. We tailor each solution to the bathroom’s size, your building’s design, and up-to-date compliance with local regulations. Below are the main types we recommend and install, each suited for different situations around the home.

Ceiling Fans & Roof Vent

Ceiling-mounted bathroom exhaust fans are installed directly into the ceiling, usually close to showers or baths. Our team calculates airflow needs baed on room size. Each installation involves secure placement and precise wiring, carefully considering exhaust duct routes and roof vent position for efficient venting.

Wall-Mounted Exhaust Fans

In homes or apartments where ceiling access is tricky, we often recommend wall-mounted vents. We mount these on exterior walls, venting directly outside to eliminate the need for long ducts and to suit spaces like apartments with concrete ceilings. Our installs focus on positioning the unit near key moisture sources for stronger extraction.

Inline Exhaust (Ducted) Fans

Inline exhaust bathroom fans or ducted systems are used when you want ultra-quiet operation or multiple vents in larger rooms. We install the remote fan motor in your roof cavity or attic, connecting discreet in-room grilles via insulated ducting. This is efficient in multi-room or long-distance layouts. Our team plans every step to guarantee safe and effective performance.

3-in-1 Combo Units

We’re experienced with 3-in-1 shower units that combine heating, lighting, and ventilation fan. These are popular for their multi-functionality, particularly in renovations and new builds. Installation can be more complex, as these units sit above high-use areas and require robust electrical support, all of which our qualified electricians handle from start to finish.

Every install by AJ Services Group is managed for safety, compliance, and long-term reliability. If you need clarity or want to explore the best fan for your shower, get in touch with our team.

 

 

Factors That Affect Pricing of Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installs

Knowing the potential expenses involved in an bathroom exhaust fan installation helps you plan ahead and choose the right option for your home. We focus on making the process clear from sizing and product choices through to safe, compliant installation. Our team at AJ Services Group ensures every install meets Australian standards and delivers value.

Fan Size and Type

Prices for a new setup often start with the choice of fan. Different models, like inline, ducted, or wall-mounted, come with their own price ranges. The fan’s power, which must match your room size, affects both product price and installation complexity. We assess your space and recommend a solution that avoids under-ventilation and unnecessary costs.

Installation Labour & Compliance

Using a licensed electrician for vent assembly is required in Sydney. Labour charges are influenced by how accessible your ceiling space is and whether new electrical wiring or ducting outside is needed. We handle all compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and local codes, so you’re not hit with unexpected extras or safety concerns down the track.

Upgrades and Energy Efficiency

Smart fans with timers or humidity sensors tend to cost more up front but can save on ongoing power bills. Our team can help compare these options, including if upgrading is worthwhile when factoring in setup costs, future maintenance, and energy use.

Our Process for Installing Bathroom Fan

When it comes to setting up a new ventilation system for your bath, we know the local climate and building quirks well. Here’s how our team at AJ Services Group approaches each project.

Assess and Inspect Site

Before installing anything, we inspect your bathroom layout and the existing ventilation. This helps us identify the best spot for your fan and check if there’s enough ceiling or wall access, which is especially important in many older Sydney homes with roof space issues.

Select & Install New Fan

We discuss the most suitable fan type for your needs, whether that be wall, window, or ceiling fans. Our team secures the fan housing firmly in place, ensure tight seals using a durable duct connector, and secure all wiring with proper wire connectors.

Check Airflow & Exhaust Duct

Once placement is complete, we switch on the fan and run a full operational check. We monitor the airflow strength, verifying that moisture is being properly extracted, and ensuring the system vents directly outdoors as intended, not simply moving air around the bathroom.

Clean Up Site

We clean up any mess and walk you through the new setup. Before we leave, our team double-checks that everything is safe and in proper working order, so you can use your bathroom right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

The installation cost of a new fan or vent typically ranges from $200 to $700, depending on whether you’re replacing an existing unit or fitting a new one where none existed before. Factors that influence the final price include the type of fan, any required home rewiring upgrades, and whether specialist equipment is needed.

At AJ Services Group, we always provide clear quotes and break down costs so you know exactly what to expect. If you’d like a tailored assessment and a competitive estimate, get in touch for a free consultation.

For most standalone houses in Sydney, installing a bathroom fan is considered minor internal work and usually does not require council approval. However, if you live in an apartment or townhouse, especially in a strata-managed building, you may be required to seek strata permission before making any changes to external elements.

Drilling through a wall or venting externally often falls under strata by-laws, so it’s important to check with your body corporate first. At AJ Services Group, we frequently work with homeowners and strata managers across Sydney to handle permissions smoothly and ensure installations meet all local building regulations.

If you’re unsure about your property’s requirements, get in touch and we’ll help you navigate the process from start to finish.

Because many Sydney homes have limited roof cavities or older construction, the right fan choice is crucial for lasting ventilation and mould prevention. In high-humidity areas like Sydney, we recommend powerful, moisture-resistant fans since they deliver effective air extraction and are suitable for most ceiling types.

However, if your property lacks adequate space for a ceiling hole (common in heritage terraces and certain apartment layouts), a window-mounted or slimline wall fan can be a great alternative, offering strong performance without invasive roof work.

For larger bathrooms or ensuites, a 3-in-1 bathroom unit that combines heating, lighting, and ventilation is a practical, energy-efficient solution. We always suggest an on-site assessment to ensure the selected fan suits your bathroom’s specifics and meets all local regulations. Contact AJ Services Group for tailored suggestions and a transparent quote.

If your shower fan is making unusual noises, fails to remove steam effectively, or you notice persistent dampness and mould despite regular cleaning, it’s time for a closer look. Minor faults like loose wiring, basic electrical issues, or worn bearings can often be repaired for a lower cost, especially if the fan is relatively new and otherwise in good condition.

However, if your unit is outdated, lacking modern safety features, inefficient, or shows signs of severe damage, replacing with a new vent fan is more financially viable. At AJ Services Group, we always conduct a detailed assessment on site to determine whether repair or replacement suits your situation best and provide honest, up-front pricing for both options.
