I looked after 3 residential homes for several years with around 120 private apartments. All the apartments had bathrooms without windows and I would say that a good 75% of the residents would turn the fan off permanently regardless of how many times I told them the reasons to have them on.
Sometimes inline fan in roof space. Mounted on soft rubber bushes or suspended from rafters , and not touching anything solid cuts down noise and vibration...
Great video Del.....Any thoughts on the bulb in the bathroom? even though its zone 2 i still dont like it lol do you? but its down to what the customer will accept lol
Nice to see you are keeping busy, as always just do as the customer wants as long as its electrically safe. I hope you have a minimum labour charge given the customer was supplying parts.
fricken weirdo customers man. Providing all their own WRONG switches lol. freaking out about a lose connection but it's perfectly fine to leave the broken dimmer. No problem we're chaning it all in a few months anyway xD xD XD xDDDD
I don't think I've ever seen an exhaust fan with a run on timer type function here in Australia, but all these UK electricians I've seen fit them. Also in many bathrooms, the fans and lights have separate switches, though not all do.
My pax fan in Sweden has Timer, auto humidity and if i flip a switch it will run until i flip it of. With humid setting you should be able to just give it max value and it will run whenever it needs to get humidity down. And it will lower and increase speed automaticly depending on the level of humidity.
@@torsson2 Very cleaver. I've not seen anything like that here, at least night in residential settings. You might possibly see extractor fan systems like that in commercial settings.
she gunna end up with mouldy walls and ceiling plus a flat that stnk of doo doo because she doesn't want the fan going for an extra 10 minutes minutes? .. I spose she can leave the light on
Hi Amo. That's what she said she'd leave the light on if necessary rather than have 15 min overrun. It's quite a small flat. I suppose if the toilet is used late at night the fan may be a bit annoying, it's right next to the bedroom. thanks for watching.
@@alvina69 true that, its also on a lighting circuit so less amps, but always best to err on the side of safety to prevent things going south. What about the responsible interests of consumer safety?
After watching some more I see you do this several times. You might want to think about how you hold the screwdriver while manipulating wires, or just put the screwdriver down.

Your videos are so detailed there a pleasure to watch 😊
they´re. Maybe ask a first grader to tell you about the difference between "they´re" "there" and "their".
Del, love your videos man! Really hope we get even more. I've learned so much from watching you and listening to you track and troubleshoot.
Nice to know thanks for watching
@@eastwayelectrical It's like a virtual apprenticeship lessons. And watching you as calm as a person to deal with clients is very educational too.
Good job as always 👍👍
Jesus, 5 minutes - I bet they can peel an orange in their pockets.
I reckon the old one was knackered and loud, so they were worried the new one would keep them awake. New ones are much quieter as Delroy says
What’s wrong with some people can’t stand a fan running longer than 5 mins , its to clear the humidity🙄🙄
Nice work Del 👍

Delroy is a fanatic 😅
Can you fix a Volkswagen golf
Great video mate, an intermediate switch is just a 2 pole isolator

Del, what was the make and model of the fan you recommended please . -
Good little easy one delroy
Why change a light switch just because it’s become disconnected?
I don't think I've ever seen a central heating thermostat mounted about a foot off the floor before!
Nice one mate you get some finicky folks at times eh??

It's required by regs if there isn't a window then there has to be a timer
@@Vii7aL Interesting.
@@Lachlant1984Aussie sparky over here in U.K. for 10 years Now. Yes it's all radically different over here compared to Oz
Isn’t that broken socket is C1 or C2 code which mean There is a danger present, risk of injury and immediate remedial action required?
Just wondering

Trying to give advice after years of experience will never will over saving 5p to some.
@@eastwayelectrical yea, I caught her say that. And you raise a good point about the proximity to the bedroom and late night trips to the loo.
Sure I seen a dehumidifier.
Del do you ever think... how do folk live in constant clutter?
Seems to be the norm these days 😅
Surely that damaged dimmer switch should have been replaced
Wouldn't that be a c1
They will be complaining of mould in the bathroom next,
👍
One finger pushed into that dimmer switch hole, one conductor pushed against another, fresh toast 😢

I cringed when your screwdriver tip brushed the wall. Looks like you got lucky ive scrathed or chipped the paint when thats happened to me

intermediate switch is super universal. You can use it as one way and as two way switch.
Hi Lukasz. Yeah! I didn't know that until a couple of years ago.
@@eastwayelectrical - How long have you been a sparks lol?
You can't use it as a two way switch 😂
@@craigharvey17 Do you want me to prove you wrong or do you want to google it yourself before that?
@@craigharvey17 2 way switch = COMtoL1 or COMtoL2
Normal Intermediate = L1toL3&L2toL4 or L1toL4&L2toL3
Intermediate as 2 way = L1toL3 or L1toL4 (use L1 as COM)
Don´t you love women who always know everything better without listening to the expert? 5 Minutes! For Fs sacke.
Why not just fit the 2 gang dimmer and sort the flex on the pendant? its a 5 minute job ffs
@@alvina69 because it's better than having a cracked dimmer that could break further and be an electrocution risk?
because then the tightass customer wins. If they dont want to pay to fix it, then dont touch it.
u sure ur a qualified spark?
If you cant see it for yourself you should get your eyes checked. He is a professional
