Can I Mount A Bathroom Exhaust Fan On The Wall. Does anyone know whether a bathroom exhaust fan designed to be installed in a ceiling would have any problems if installed in a wall instead? The bathroom exhaust fan has been designed to extract the damp air from your bathroom and provide warmth when you need it.
The location should be between two wall studs and within 6 feet.
Some models may come packaged with a template for marking the unit's outline. Option 2 involves mounting without attic access. While bathroom exhaust fan installation is not the easiest home improvement project, the bulk of the work is centered around the physical rigors of standing on a ladder and working above your head, along with the more taxing work of return to the bathroom and test the fan by turning on the switch. A bathroom exhaust fan, improperly installed, can create all sorts of hidden damage to a home.
