Been using these for a couple of years. Excellent quality and reliable. Moves a good amount of air.
John Dufton yeah totally agree!
My one is so noisy, and keeps my up at night. So, it’s good to hear that there is a silent one
Thanks for taking the time to review
thanks for the video. the guy who fitted it told me it was easy to adjust the fan time should i want to, when i asked him how, he said search for the fan name on UA-cam and the first video will tell you. and here is that video 🤣 thanks!!
Take care of Warranty terms. Envirovent will look at ways to avoid any warranty claims.
Those extractors are excellent, I use them or Greenwood’s as they don’t specify the 3A fuse like other manufacturers 👍🏼
patrick brannan yeah they are great I only fit these now
I know this is two years old, but i have a solution to the mounting orientation
I had to mount mine at 90 degrees due to cable not being long enough, so i used a little nail varnish remover on the branding and it came straight off.
Now it looks correct in any orientation
Great tip!
@@artisanelectrics glad i could be of service 👍
That actually sounds quite loud to me.
I just bought two of them. Both are blowing the air out!
Lmao you've fucked that up then 😅
Hi - I know you posted this years ago but I’m hoping you might still see this! My fan has suddenly stopped working and is showing a red light in the top right corner, by the timer. Any idea what this could mean? I can’t find any info about it online
Same problem
Guaranteed no one can help me actually remove this thing. The little pin hole on the side to depress the cover. Then what? I've stuck everything I can in that hole and nothing happens...
I have this same problem!
Same 😂
Issue is You have to put something in a gap between the wall and the cover and often it’s simply covered with gypsum and paint.
Can I ask a question please? Is it possible to wire this fan up to a standard UK plug?
I need an extractor fan in my garage, but the only electric source I have in there is a double plug socket on the wall (no lighting circuit in there)
Great little fans by the way, we have the same one in our bathroom
Good tip about the orientation of the unit, to ensure the writing is the right way up too, thank you !
Subscribed now, your videos are very helpful
Quite lol haha he obviously doesn't have these in his house... I've tried adjusting the over run timer and just wont stop spinning
What was your solution, I have the same problem in my kitchen, it is driving me crazy.
Thank you, that's a lot more quiet than my one. Mine is from 2013, is it worth updating? What year model was this? Also do I need to turn off electric to take off cover to adjust timer?
Re: wall mounting. I think it might be smart to not mount the fan with the terminal and circuitry at the bottom. Mine stopped working and I found that the live-switch terminala and the timer circuitry at the same level had corroded. I suspect that water got in after a storm and then pooled there. If it had been mounted on the side it might have been ok.
New house, checking why mine doesn't work. It has exactly this problem - thanks for posting
Thanks for posting this video, I might consider using this one ☝️ day .
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the videos
Hi appreciate the upload and taking your advice I had one installed last week. Had to take it down this morning from my internal upstairs bathroom because it tripped the mains fuse. Upon removing cover about a small glass worth of water just leaked out. I'm told it's because the flexible ducting is going vertically through the roof and when fan turns off condensation just makes its way back down.
Trying to work a solution so any advice will be appreciated
Yeah you need to install a condensation trap to stop that happening. You can get one here amzn.to/36wQeg6
Mine won't switch off?
Mine too, did you find a solution?
Hi, thanks for review. Any tips on cleaning them? Mine is in the ceiling and has accumulated a ton of gunge, impairing efficiency. I’ve been at it with a toothbrush but pretty sure I can’t get to it all. Thanks.
If you turn the power off you can take the cover off and pull the central blade off and wash them in the sink. Just be careful to not get water in the fan motor etc.
Artisan Electrics Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Any tips on how to remove fan blade? I can’t see the connection and don’t want to force it. I have the Silent100. Thanks again.
@@meldrew728 You just remove the cover and then pull the fan blade towards you and it will pull off
Artisan Electrics Mine won’t budge. Thanks a lot for your help though.
Usually just needs a good yank but if you’re not sure don’t risk it
Hi would it be an issue to install this "upside down" on a wall as there's a small strip covering wires on it
Thanks
With ceiling mounting Do you use flexible ducting and cable tie to the spigot on the back of the fan? Then route to the external wall and vent.
Im about to give a manrose internal fit wall vent kit from Screwfix a go with one of these envirovent 100 silentT fans and planning flexible ducting.
Yes that’s how I do it!
Ive had mine installed over a year now its not that silent anymore.
Might need cleaning a bit
Hi there, would this be a straight swap with my current envirovent profile 100? Need to change as the noise from it is unbearable!
Thanks
Does it have a PIR sensor?
Is there a video of you fitting it ..
Thanks
No I’m afraid not
@@artisanelectrics aww ok 😔
Do you sell this product (silent 100) in the US?
I had one installed, but is it normal to have air actually coming out of it? if I place my hand close to the sides, I can feel a lot of air coming out of it, if I place in the middle I can't feel much. I thought these here supposed to only extract air.
These should have draught shields or they may have jammed and therefore allowing cold air to come through.
Usually it feels like air is coming back but actually if you put a piece of toilet paper over it you will see it is sucking air out
Can get this product in India & how many Indian currency & how many take delivery days ?
Go for inline type one which is more powerful but if u are interested in these type then will suggest atleast 6 inch one. Can buy from amazon.
I've got 2 Envirovent 125 "Silent" fans and they both sound like vacuum cleaners. Awful products.
Did you find any quieter fans with similar performance output? Doubt it.
Do they sell wall mount ones with pull cords?
Khaled S yes you can get one here amzn.to/2CnJJim
@@artisanelectrics Thanks...What do you do if a fan does not allow the normal solid core twin and earth wire? Because the fan I bought says on the instructions
"The connection into the fan MUST be a flexible
cable and NOT solid core twin and earth, if the fan is mishandled or a solid core twin and earth cable is forced into the terminals you WILL break it"
What is the flexible cable I need for my fan?
And do I wire it the same way as I would other normal fans? Because I read somewhere that I could use a terminal block to connect a solid core twin and earth cable to any other cable.
@@Khaled91 You could run your solid core to a switch or fused box where it comes out of the wall then run flexible cable with strain relief from that to your fan (like wall mounted heaters)
Yes good idea. I’ve never seen that instruction on a fan before
Got any vids showing this being installed?
Is that a yes or no?
Hi, can these be fitted inside the shower? Or do they need to be 12v IP67 rated?
Yes they can be fitted in zone 1 according to the instructions I believe
It's not silent in a growtent
Not silent by any stretch of the imagination...
