Thank you for understanding. Re: Exhaust fans ducting into the ceiling 13Nov 20, 2013 6:18 pm AJW JazzyJess Isn't that interesting. Because I thought it's usually roofing plumbers who put the ducting in. At least if you want it done properly. There's more to it than simply sticking a tube on top. I doubt the agent is really doing all that research on your behalf, more like repeating some vaguely remembered factoids which might or might not apply to your particular building in order to to keep the task simple and reduce the organisational workload for him. As a general rule indeed! Every state is different, not all require roofing plumbers. I wasn't talking legally or anything, I just meant it's one of those things where people who specialise in that type of work can make a better more thorough result, not putting down ALL general tradesmen cos some have a wide range of excellent skills but ours did simply stick a tube on top which needed fixing. Its not nice when someone comes to fix something or do some work and rolls their eyes and says who did this and were you an owner/builder when you thought you had paid an expert to do something the way its meant to be done.

Thank you for understanding. Re: Exhaust fans ducting into the ceiling 15Dec 29, 2013 3:51 am Something i've seen at a friends place was venting to the eaves. IE ducting the exhaust fans through the ceiling, then drilling through the eave and fitting a grate. Doesn't look the best - but would be cheaper than cutting through colorbond i would imagine - and really if it's down the dead side of the house where no one goes it doesn't have to look pretty.

I've seen old houses with eaves that aren't solid at all, they're like an open grille all the way round. But I thought in newer houses when there's vents in the eaves its something to do with enabling air flow out a whirly bird, a way to make the whirly birds more efficient by increasing incoming air? That's what I read the purpose was anyway. Btw don't fit vents in eaves in older houses without checking for asbestos cos eaves is one of the places to specifically check. Re: Exhaust fans ducting into the ceiling 17Dec 30, 2013 3:12 pm The house isn't actually that old - just a self-build done on the cheap. Today is under construction. Thank you for understanding. Re: Exhaust fans ducting into the ceiling 18Dec 30, 2013 3:31 pm Sorry, the tv ads warning about working on old houses must be having an effect. That wasn't the focus of your original question. So I read the thread over and your followup question is this. ashilleong Finally got a quote for what we are after . $699, including appliances, for both bathrooms. Fair? Is that for the electrician to fit them, what brand/type, and with ducting, and what sort?

Our eaves dip down, so you can't see the vents unless you happen to be walking under and looking up. It was going to be too expensive to duct through the roof, as although we are in suburban Sydney, we have a fire rating of BAL-FZ, and it would have to be a fire resistant vent. Re: Exhaust fans ducting into the ceiling 20Jan 23, 2014 2:18 pm Well- the electrician we chose was more expensive than the others, but would do the ducting. ...and then didn't. He installed the fans and decided not to do the ducting after all. He says there isn't enough room, although wasn't clear why, and will "take the ducting off the price of installation" which is great, except he wants to charge more than anyone else quoted for installation only. Freakin nightmare! Today is under construction. Thank you for understanding. My home office is hot with computer equipment running virtually 18 hours a day.
