Hyattsville MD Electricians

Arrived onsite and was shown to the downstairs bathroom where I opened the exhaust fan that was there, cleaned it all out and then talked to the resident about what they wanted to do with that one. The preference downstairs is to get the same model nutone and replace what’s there because it fits the space and will minimize plaster damage. For the upstairs bathroom there is no attic space, and I don’t think the ceiling is tall enough there to put the fan in the ceiling, but there is a side attic that backs up to that bathroom so I made a whole plan to install a wall fan and do all the ducting and wiring in the attic space to minimize the plaster damage, and we would install a Panasonic whisper in the space. The resident wants to cut the ceiling open and see the clearance there to see if it’s a possibility, and he’s fine with the plaster damage upstairs if the fan fits the ceiling. I wrote up multiple options, but he wants to look into the space upstairs before deciding which one he wou

We even attempted to use a heat gun in the microwave circuit to see if we could simulate the issue and we’re unable to do so.
