When it comes time to replace the fan you might wonder if it is simply the case of plugging in the new fan or does it require more electrical know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a general rule, bathroom fans are hardwired. The fan housing has a  junction box with a screw terminal. Cables from the power supply will be hardwired directly to the screw terminal inside the junction box.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when replacing only the motor, some models have a connector of some sort, and can be simply plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07JZZ1YSG?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1207\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41E1fWQCKSL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Endurance Pro S97009796 Replacement Fan Blower Assembly for Broan Bulb Heaters\" title=\"Endurance Pro S97009796 Replacement Fan Blower Assembly for Broan Bulb Heaters\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41E1fWQCKSL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Endurance Pro S97009796 Replacement Fan Blower Assembly for Broan Bulb Heaters\" title=\"Endurance Pro S97009796 Replacement Fan Blower Assembly for Broan Bulb Heaters\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"eager\" class=\"eager-load\" data-no-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Lets dig deeper and find out is it really so difficult to connect the fan even though it is hardwired. Later I will also help you choose a new bathroom fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Hardwired Mean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The term<\/strong> <strong>&ldquo;hardwired&rdquo; means that the appliance is permanently connected to the electrical system via a screw terminal and can not be plugged in and out. A cable from the house electrical system will be connected directly to the appliance. Hence it becomes hardwired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an item is wired directly into the house and can only be turned on and off with a switch, it is said to be &ldquo;hardwired&rdquo; when it comes to electrical appliances or light fixtures, a permanently installed fixture cannot be unplugged or moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repairing it may necessitate shutting down power to that part of the building and replacing it will undoubtedly necessitate shutting down power to that part of the building. Light fixtures, ventilation fans and cooking ovens are examples of things that are usually hardwired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a Bathroom Fan Need Its Circuit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bathroom fan does not need a dedicated circuit unless it has an integrated heater. The fan must have a dedicated 20-amp circuit if it has an integrated heater. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it only serves one appliance or fixture, this circuit is known as a &ldquo;dedicated&rdquo; circuit. Dedicated circuits may also be required for heat lamps, wall heaters, and other built-in heating appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Kind of Wire Do I Use for a Bathroom Fan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The connection between the switch box and the fan unit: the number of switches used to operate the unit determines the gauge and type of wire used. Install a&nbsp;<strong>14-2 wire set<\/strong>&nbsp;when installing a fan-only or a fan\/light combination unit that operates on a single switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When operating a fan\/light combination unit with two switches, use a 14-3 wire set. Two insulated and one bare 14-gauge wire strand are included in a 14-2 wire set, while three insulated and one bare wire strand is included in a 14-3 wire set. Heater-equipped units typically require a 12-2 for the heater option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a Bathroom Fan Need to Be Connected to a GFCI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) is a good way to prevent the hundreds of electrocutions in the United States each year. On the other hand, Bathroom fans may appear to pose little risk of electrocution because they are typically out of reach. So, some people might believe that GFCI protection is unnecessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/do-bathroom-fans-need-gfci-protection\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1208\">Bathroom fans need to be connected to a GFCI branch circuit when placed in a shower or above a bathtub<\/a>. In other cases, the GFCI is not required but recommended.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GFCI outlets should be installed in bathrooms, sinks, and other areas where there is standing or running water, according to most electricians. However, you might be curious about how this applies to specific bathroom appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find the Best Bathroom Fan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be challenging to decide in this day and age. There are far too many choices available. Bathroom fans are an excellent example of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every manufacturer has ten models that are nearly identical in appearance but have different model names. When you&rsquo;re confronted with so many options, it&rsquo;s easy to become paralyzed by them. For the average household, the majority of the parameters they mention make no difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below I supply some tips on choosing the best bathroom exhaust fan. Then, once you are fully equipped, you can head to the online stores to purchase the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-bathroom-fan-manufacturer\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1209\">best bathroom fan<\/a> for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fan Size and Power<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of air moved by a bathroom exhaust fan is estimated in cubic feet per minute (CFM), which is the amount of air moved by the fan per minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CFM number will be listed on the product&rsquo;s box, along with a recommended room size. Homeowners should buy a fan with a minimum CFM rating equal to the square footage as a general rule of thumb. You could also use our <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-cfm-calculator\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1210\">bathroom fan CFM calculator<\/a> to determine the optimal airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose an Optimal Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the bathroom fan will exhaust moist air from the bathroom regardless of where it is placed, it will be more effective <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-placement\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1211\">if it is placed near the shower<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1626 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement-300x201.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bathroom-fan-placement.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>The steam will be exhausted out of the home without difficulty, and fresh air will be drawn back into the bathroom via the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-not-removing-steam\/#Bathroom_Door_Gap_is_Not_Sufficient\" data-lasso-id=\"1212\">gap under the door<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of this location over placing it above the shower is that the shower corner will stay much warmer. <strong>Because of the location, a light\/fan combination is an excellent choice for keeping the bathroom as simple as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07J2QD8NT?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1213\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41De7R8g42L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter 90052 Saturn Decorative Bathroom Ventilation Fan with Light, Satin White\" title=\"Hunter 90052 Saturn Decorative Bathroom Ventilation Fan with Light, Satin White\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41De7R8g42L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter 90052 Saturn Decorative Bathroom Ventilation Fan with Light, Satin White\" title=\"Hunter 90052 Saturn Decorative Bathroom Ventilation Fan with Light, Satin White\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t be concerned if you can&rsquo;t place the fan exactly where it appears in the photo.
