Tips for Installing a Bathroom Heater Exhaust Fan
[ad#block]Electrical Question: How can a bathroom exhaust fan be installed and sealed?
- We just had a replacement bathroom bulb heater/exhaust fan installed and the opening is about 3/8″ bigger than the replacement fan.
- How do I find a trim piece that will install around the new fan to cover the original fan opening?
- It is a GE Bulb Heater Exhaust fan BH702B.
Thank you!
