"There's the smoke, all carrying out right through there" Yeah, and if the job had been done right by going up through the cabinet and roof, we would see the smoke only at the stove instead of all through the whole kitchen. However, my favorite is 1:15 as we examine the nice airtight door that's got more warps than the spaceship Enterprise.
I couldn't agree more with that , if you already went trough the dam process of making holes and walls do it right , go trough the cabinet and the attic which is very roomy to do this and avoiding to add and extra machine or just adding an inline blower to bust the sucking power , I totally believe this was absurd and from a high end remodeler stand point , dont do this.
This is a really bad solution! The grease laden smoke and smells will have to rise to the ceiling and travel across the kitchen to get exhausted to the outside. That means all the surfaces will accumulate a layer of dusty sticky grease. A better solution would have been to go through the ceiling above the range to the attic and exhaust through the roof. Not much more work. My advice to the lady is keep using the fan in the microwave with the wall fan. That way the microwave fan filters will catch some of the grease before it takes its 'journey' across your kitchen.
I want to get one so are you saying take out the old exhaust and just put that new one in that spot my attic is right there in the kitchen right by the old one ...
lol exactly. . . . . .. That woman can't cook worth crap. Sounds like she has the burner up way too high...................... As a single man, I had to learn that myself........Trust me, I burnt food, set off smoke alarms, etc......................I had to teach myself to COOK AT A LOW TEMP, no matter what. . .. . If you cook something too fast, only the outside gets cooked and not the inside
It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...
It's a lath and plaster surface. It's going to crack and break. I think MAYBE an oscillating tool would cause less damage. That said, repairing plaster is very, very easy. Give the guy a break.
i usually install ceiling ventilator if room needs to be circulated. i don't like the idea smoke still go through whole ceiling surface including kitchen cabinet. 'Or' i would recommend the owner buying stove with its own fan.
So, I couldn't help but notice that the outtake fan has the flapper pointing down, which means the smell will be going out of the fan and directed downward. However, the fan was installed above one of the windows that will likely be open to let fresh air in. So the smelly air will go out the fan and back in through the window?
I suspect he could make the argument that there wasn't a great alternative and that in the warmer days the windows will all be open, so the f will not be used as much as they would in the winter. Pull chain got me though, I mean really? Her home is an antique but really?
The first thing he stated was that the best way to do this was to fun a vent from the out take fan above the stove out, but that was "a lot of work." They should've done that anyway.
So if there's a fire in the kitchen a smoke alarm won't sound? Also, is this in a cold climate? If so would you just be losing a ton of warm air come winter?
This cowboy builder just needed a stetson hat. The fan was installed above a sink which will be an electrical hazard apart from ruining the aesthetic of the place and being situated about 12 feet away from the source of the exhaust. Then, he decides to cut from inside to outside. This might not matter with wood framed houses but he could at least have checked what was outside before he started! He seemed surprised that the fascia was sloped downwards as if it was some sort of construction fault that he was helping the customer overcome! My hero. I would not let that guy within ten miles of my house and I would be checking all his electrical work as well.
I recently married a Filipino woman. She's been used to cooking outside, never inside. She often fries dried fish in our kitchen that'll stink to high heaven. There are also other times where the kitchen fills with smoke. I don't know what she's doing. But this is a great solution for one of many oddities that come with a filipina.
Those are great quality fans I just bought a @Broan-Nutone 509S for my grandparents kitchen easy to operate with a turn of a rotary switch mounted on the grill itself.
My house had a vintage '50s era exhaust fan that had a pull chain on it that I kept as a conversation piece - it even works! Should have gone through the attic to vent out - better look and more efficient.
I’m faced with an unventilated bathroom- old house- no option but go through wall. I can’t get myself to make the cut in the cedar wall ( inside) to put the ugly but necessary fan.
Everyone's talking about the burn mark from the attic bulb, and twisting the grounds, but did anyone notice he just took a nice chunk out of the window heder?
Hahaha the pull chain was to high for her to reach.. they had to stop filming to put a extension on the chain and then they continued filming. One scene it's really short and the other it's longer
Are dehumifers worth using and do they kill mold already in a room or do they just stop new mold appearing also is salt effective and ok to use in dehumifer that has Crystal's at top of dehumifer when Crystal's have run out I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers
I have a really old Fasco exhaust fan in my kitchen wall. It didn't work so I thought I'd just replace it and clean the vent to outside. To my surprise, it had no vent to outside. Why would anyone install it without a vent?
After all that unnecessary running the wires so FAR AWAY,cutting a hole in the house,having to make a frame etc: which should have been figured BEFOREHAND WHY wasnt it installed in attic right above and vented there too ? you were standing right there doing the wiring and still didn't install a wall switch to replace PULL CHAIN I SURE as heck wouldn't hire this guy. time and money could have been saved if the job was properly PLANNED !!
Didn't ground the junction box, and for God sakes put in a switch, not a dumb pull chain. You had attic access. Could have put a switch anywhere. But the Major problem- vent the range thru the roof. Zero reason not to. Who is this joker? Miss the old guy.
Yes this was not very nice work. He should have used a holesaw when cutting lathe and plaster, and the fan should be on the same circuit of the kitchen or its own one. Aside from that, it would not have been that much work to do it right and install a vent hood above the range. Way more efficient as drawing the greasy air all along the kitchen ceiling.
Never cut into lath and plaster without testing it for asbestos. Horse hair and asbestos were frequently used in the brown coat of this type of finishing system.
*Works amazingly **Fastly.Cool** . I love all the features and the double expansion. For once a fan is almost as tall as my window. Updated but not overly fancy.*
Venting outside with the microwave wasn't that much more work. Cut a few holes for ducting and vent up through the cabinet to attic then flex duct to the outside wall.
he would have only have to drill a few 4" holes from the Microwave to the Attic that he had to go into already, the vent out of the roof sill OR even tie into the vents that were already there.. But instead he made a ugly vent on a wall with a big 8" hole and pull chains power and had to go into the attic to run new power lines,
Does This Work on Aircon Example the 2 rooms are stick together but it has wall and ill just put exhaust fan at the other room.....btw the other room has aircon......will it work?will the room that has exhaust fan will be cold?
Hanging the cord in front of the window and requiring it to be pulled to the right when it's almost at ceiling height (could he have rotated it 90°?) seem irritating to me.
How much would it cost on an average for a tech to install wall exhaust fan? How much would it cost on an average for a tech to install a duct to the microwave and connect to the roof top? I have a similar work to be done but difficult to choose which method is effective in the kitchen.
Carbide hole saw or reciprocating saw. I needed to vent my dryer outside, so I hired a guy with a 4 inch hole saw, did it in 15 minutes. I was afraid my saw would bind up and kick and break my wrist.
my room 12'x10' feet . small window and i have 1 wall fan .day time and night very hot . what do i choose wall exhaust fan or ceiling exhaust fan to make my room cool from hot air .
I watched this because I am thinking of doing an in-wall fan like this in my bathroom. But, I agree with some of the other comments below. For a kitchen this does not solve the problem of grease accumulating on the ceiling. Those simple over the stove fans that just vent back into the kitchen usually are not adequate enough to trap enough grease. And I also don't like the pull chain switch. I'm surprised they even still make those, that is what they used over 50 years ago. I know, I replaced a 50 year old one with a pull chain in my kitchen a few years ago. BTW which was behind the stove where it belongs. I will try to find one with a little more modern switch. For such a nice older home, this seems like a cheap fix. And I don't mean "cheap" in a good way. Think I would have spent the extra time and money to vent through the attic. However, with such a long run of vent duct, I don't know how you prevent the buildup of grease in the duct. I guess at least you can clean it off of the walls and ceiling.
Did you do this in your bathroom? I'm thinking about doing the same as I am going to DIY and I can't imagine going through the ceiling and roof. I thought this might be doable, for me.
What did you end up doing for the bathroom? I’m considering do this above the back wall of my shower. I don’t have enough roof overhang to properly vent it out through the ceiling, and this seems like a much quicker job anyway.
I'm curious if you've done this also as I have a 1st floor bathroom with no attic access (obviously), but 2 outside walls. It'd have to have its own switch also as I'd be piggybacking it off an existing circuit. While I don't like the idea of the wall fan, the thought of running a vent hose through the above joists doesn't excite me either.
Depending on your jurisdiction. However, you run the risk of backdraft because the soffit is slanted downward. The exhaust fan should be at minimum 12-24 inches above the exhaust outlet
Gotta live the armchair trolls thinking that they're cool ! By making comments about real SOLUTIONS ! let me guess... You would have screwed that job up... Exactly the same way ! YEP YOU SURE WOULD HAVE !
When I first saw the fan I was thinking "Man I don't care how well that spring thinks it seals, that's gonna be chilly." Then I see all that no insulation inside the wall. The bare drywall around the attic access. "Oh... Never mind."
They may as well have just installed a ceiling exhaust fan like would be found in a bathroom, could have went through the roof or soffit and installed a switch in the wall, considering he had easy access to the area in the attic as seen here.
Did anyone notice the burn mark on the interior attic roof where he tied in the fan power (3:51). This light fixture is a fire hazard and should be removed or replaced with something safe. Funny he didn't mention that.
+Eric Weaver - Not to mention that he just twisted the wires together like a cowboy, rather than just using a connection box with brass screw terminals
Another thing you can do is get a big shop vac and put it in the middle of the kitchen. That will suck all the smoke right up and you can empty it outside.
Yeah it sure was a 'mess'. Required 2 dollars worth of pvc frame to fix... I swear YT comments just exist to nitpick and complain. Worse than monday morning quarterbacks.
In australia 🇦🇺 We don’t have microwaves above the oven That is where you put a large exhaust fans that go into the roof ceiling Interesting where he put the exhaust fan I would’ve thought he would’ve installed it above the oven in the ceiling not away from it
Should have caulked the metal vent to the wood frame and the wood frame to the wood sheathing. Also, look at the burn at 4:15. Must have been a fire in that light socket.
LOL. It's lath and plaster. It always cracks. Using a reciprocating saw with destroy the plaster. He actually did a pretty good job. Use a patching compound like Fixall, you'll never notice the cracks.
That pull chain looks rubbish should have been a switch.
+iShootBandits Still need a pull chain for the fan's door.
I agree
I personally like it, the retro look and everything, but the problem is that chains BREAK. That's why I'd opt for a switch, and automatic shutters.
Great point and pull chains DO break in time! And then, this lady will have to call someone to fix that.
yes switch better
"There's the smoke, all carrying out right through there"
Yeah, and if the job had been done right by going up through the cabinet and roof, we would see the smoke only at the stove instead of all through the whole kitchen.

I couldn't agree more with that , if you already went trough the dam process of making holes and walls do it right , go trough the cabinet and the attic which is very roomy to do this and avoiding to add and extra machine or just adding an inline blower to bust the sucking power , I totally believe this was absurd and from a high end remodeler stand point , dont do this.

What they should have done is put the fan in the middle of the ceiling, connected to a switch to turn it on, venting through the attic to the outside.
maybe just use the microwave vent while she's cooking and the wall vent for the smell afterwards?
I want to get one so are you saying take out the old exhaust and just put that new one in that spot my attic is right there in the kitchen right by the old one ...
its illegal to vent through multiple rooms

"Everytime I cook...smells terrible...I want it out of this room..." Sounds like installing a fan is not the only problem here.

She did NOT need a vent............She just needed to cook slowly
@@jamedlock83 But for stir fry and cooking with a wok you can't make it hot enough. Cooking in 1 minute is where it's at.
don't be so mean to her, she cooks food for her family not just her-
She probably phrased it wrong. She probably just cooks food that causes strong odors that lingers.

This guy really did a hack job of cutting that interior cut. And this was after he used the ducting to trace a good circle to follow.

That said, repairing plaster is very, very easy. Give the guy a break.

Ok?
thru wall Extractor fans are effective, new ventilators not so.
reminds me of the ol' nutone fans from the 50's and 60's that you find in all of the un-updated homes.
airtight. Can see visible light through edges.
+Rocco Croce I noticed that. Maybe it wasn't pulled tightly closed.
+Blaine Bugaski it won't ever be, with construction like that lol.
Rocco Croce I was wondering about the gap on the top of his three sided PVC frame as well.
+Blaine Bugaski yes sir that contraption ain't worth a damn.
Who needs something to be air tight when you live in an old home without insulation.
not a big fan of this one

What you should've done is actually installing a range vent hood.

Have you ever heard about a vegetable called “onion”?

What brand and model is this exhaust fan?
I had a vent like this, in a mobile home I rented back in the 70’s. Lol. TOH has honestly gone to pot in recent years.
The walls of my apartment are some kind of very hard stone. How do you cut through that ?
Carbide hole saw or reciprocating saw.

Does this will pass a home inspection?
Will building codes allow you to vent through a wall if there's a soffit above?
Depending on your jurisdiction. However, you run the risk of backdraft because the soffit is slanted downward. The exhaust fan should be at minimum 12-24 inches above the exhaust outlet
I met below the soffit 12-24 below.

what the type and brank of this fan

Day after this was filmed:
Dear This Old House,
Why does my fireplace smoke when I use my new exhaust fan? Please help!
Interesting rafter tails on this old bungalow. I wish I could see more of it.
Question how much is a job like that???
Is there no header supporting the window framing? I would've thought there was no room to install that fan there.
Chris Porco There is. He notched the hell out of it. You can see it at 2:33.
Another thing you can do is get a big shop vac and put it in the middle of the kitchen. That will suck all the smoke right up and you can empty it outside.
LOL
Anyone know where I can get this or very similar fan with the airtite exterior cover?
what make and model is this fan?
4:20. Is that a kosher kitchen or is the poster there for decoration?
Is it bad Im thinking about adding an exhaust fan to my room for smoking purposes?
What's wrong with a vent through the roof? My kitchen has an 8" pipe that goes strait up. It definitely moves the air.
Definitely some missing information. Tile roof maybe?
what is there to stop rain coming in
My choice. Maybe it couldn't be done that way.
When your contractor says “ok, we have a situation here” you know that’s not good. What a freaking mess.
More money out the pocket lol
Yeah it sure was a 'mess'. Required 2 dollars worth of pvc frame to fix...
I swear YT comments just exist to nitpick and complain. Worse than monday morning quarterbacks.
In australia 🇦🇺
We don’t have microwaves above the oven
That is where you put a large exhaust fans that go into the roof ceiling
Interesting where he put the exhaust fan
I would’ve thought he would’ve installed it above the oven in the ceiling not away from it
This is what I would expect to see in a cheap RV.
I wonder what Tommy would say about him clearly taking a chunk out of the window header at 2:33
As I watched this in astonishment I thought... man, you're going to hit the header... surely they won't cut it out... uhhh...
Should have caulked the metal vent to the wood frame and the wood frame to the wood sheathing. Also, look at the burn at 4:15. Must have been a fire in that light socket.
Where can you purchase this fan thanks

I wonder how much of the homes heat and air-cond is lost with the exhaust fan?? Maybe just using the existing filter fan would be more economical.
Sometimes allot of work is worth it.
pull chain is tacky, should have ran switch or chose a better location. and did this fool light a frigging smoke bomb in that poor lady's house?
Yup he sure did. Apparently to simulate her cooking.
thomas lmaooooooo he get his payment and instantly, smoke out!
lmao yes he did
Where I can buy 1 like that
5:10 "Ok, Im going to start a fire in your house..."
What's with the pull chain switch?
Wow great idea 💡
I did not understand why not to install exhaust above microwave?
He's not mentioned or show on video how he cut header above window. Header have purpose to carry weight and they should not be notched
I use a keyhole saw. It makes a nice round hole in the sheetrock without excess cutting.
LOL. It's lath and plaster. It always cracks. Using a reciprocating saw with destroy the plaster. He actually did a pretty good job.
Use a patching compound like Fixall, you'll never notice the cracks.
doesn't this pull all the smoke and grease towards your cabinets, walls, windows, etc.... ?
Is there no insulation in that house?
like tons of old houses from 1900? Yeah it happens a lot!
Can you tell me what model is that fan?
Thank you!
It's called... Don't buy that kind ! Get a real fan... Minimum 700 cfm.
HE ACTUALLY 🔥 A SMOKE 💣 What a little kid ! If I were ATOH I'd pull this vid !
