We Are Here To Help
We are here to give you technical advice about our ventilation products and how to install any of our fans. Choosing the right fan for the right location with the correct ducting and external grill can have a huge effect on the output of the fan. We see many times people go into an electrical wholesaler and ask for the most powerful fan they have and then get an electrician to install the fan. The result quite often is that there is very little improvement. We are installing the products on our website every day and measure the results of every install. Over the years we have come across many different obstacles which gives us the practical knowledge about installing fans and ventilation systems.
