Changing bathroom fan

ukmercenary · 12 Sep 2020

Hello

I want to change my existing low voltage bathroom fan https://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-...2v/14750#product_additional_details_container my question is do I have to replace the transformer? or are they interchangeable with different manufactures? I am thinking of either getting an Air Flow one https://www.edwardes.co.uk/products/airflow-72683801-ic-eco30s-icon-12v-dc-low-voltage-extract-fan or this Swift Air one on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281229186469?ViewItem=&item=281229186469

The transformer is unique to the fan. For example, the Manrose one is not just a transformer but a timer device too. Some manufacturers like Manrose have only two wires between the fan and the control unit, others require 3.

Is a 240V fan suitable?

It's in Zone 2 in bathroom

If the manufacturer says it is suitable for zone 1 or 2 then it is fine.

Do you perhaps have an electric shower - where is it??

No it's a thermostatic mixer type shower on the other wall. I think i will just replace the fan like for like will be easier.
