Extractor fans play a crucial role in cleaning the air in your home and ensuring proper ventilation. Without an extractor fan, harmful toxins and moisture can build up inside, leading to bad odours, health complaints, mildew and dampness. It’s especially important to have an extractor fan in the kitchen and bathroom where pollutants and condensation easily accumulate, but some people opt to install them in the attic, garage or utility room too. Whatever your needs, domestic or industrial, our network of professionals are ready to help. Whether you want to replace your old cooker hood with a shiny new Elica, or would like your bathroom fitted with an inline fan, simply share the details below and you’ll start receiving free quotes within minutes.

Extraction Fan Installers can take care of all your ventilation needs from fitting a new axial Vortice fan, to replacing an old or faulty model. Replacing an existing extractor fan will be much more straightforward as the electrics, vents and ducting are already in place. Having an entirely new fan fitted will require additional drilling and wiring as the installer must create a hole for the fan to slot into before connecting it to the electricity mains. Extraction fans work by sucking moisture or pollution laden air out of a room and expelling it outdoors, so your new fan may also need ducting and venting to connect it to the exterior of the house. Whatever the job, there are plenty of Extraction Fan Installers on TaskMatch who can help.

Whether or not a fan is being replaced or fitted for the very first time will have a bearing on the rate. Generally, new fan installations will start from around €250 as they require extra work such as drilling a vent through a concrete wall, adding venting ducts through a ceiling or extending an electrical supply. The type of fan will also affect the price. For example, inline fan installation starts from around €200, whereas a standalone fan will cost around €120. A standalone cooker hood installation and integrated kitchen cooker hoods will set you back around €140.
Get quotes for Extraction Fan Installation in your areaExtraction fans use motorised blades to draw in contaminated air and vent it outside. This pulls clean air from the rest of the house, keeping your surroundings free from toxins and humidity. This is why extractor fans are often found in cooker hoods and in the bathroom. When we cook, we inadvertently produce smoke and pollutants that need to be expelled safely. Similarly, when we shower, humidity builds up fast. Unless this is vented outside, our homes will become very damp, leading to mould and rot.
Extractor fans can usually be found in four places: the ceiling, the wall, the cooker hood or embedded into a window. Then there’s the type of fan itself. Axial fans are most commonly found in the bathroom and work by simply pulling air in and venting it out the back. Centrifugal fans draw air in but then expel it at a 90 degree angle, making for a far more powerful mechanism, while inline fans are hidden in the ceiling. Whichever the fan, they all help to keep the home properly ventilated by moving large quantities of air outside.
This depends on whether you’re replacing an old extractor fan or installing a completely new one, as the level of electrical work will vary from job to job. That being said, most extractor fan installations require at least some wiring which is why it’s best to hire a professional.
Inline extraction fans are generally installed in the ceiling and are twice as powerful as the standard axial fan. This makes them ideal for more humid environments such as a bathroom. What’s more, due to their placement, inline fans don’t make as much noise as other options, making them the most discreet fan choice on the market.
Extraction cooker hoods work by using an extractor fan to pull polluted air from the kitchen and expel it outside. This makes them the cleaner, more preferable option of the two. However, depending on the building, it may not always be possible to vent outside and in these cases, a recirculation cooker hood is used. This works by filtering the air through a charcoal filter to clean it before pumping it back into the kitchen.
