FAQ - What if I feel no air movement after installation?
If you suspect your fan isn’t moving air properly, start with the toilet paper test: hold a piece of toilet paper near the fan cover while the fan is running. If the fan is functioning correctly, the paper should be drawn toward the fan and held in place by the airflow. If it doesn’t, follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Check the Damper: While our dampers come pre-installed, verify that the damper is closed when the fan is not running and opens freely when airflow is present.
- Inspect the Ductwork: Ensure there are no blockages or obstructions in the ducting. Confirm that the duct is securely connected to the fan and properly venting to the outside.
- Test the Fan: Turn the fan on and visually confirm that the blades are spinning properly and not obstructed. Remove the cover for easier inspection.
- Confirm Power and Wiring: Double-check the wiring to ensure the fan motor is receiving power and is correctly connected.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
