Is Your Extractor Fan Disturbingly Noisy?

Our clients can get seriously frustrated by noisy bathroom extractor fans, especially during the quiet evenings or early mornings. Here’s what we hear from our clients:

  • Disruptive Noise: Loud extractor fans disturb sleep, conversations, or relaxation, often due to inherently noisy models or poor maintenance.
  • Damp and Mould Issues: Noisy fans often underperform, failing to remove moisture quickly, leading to condensation, damp patches, and black mould in bathrooms.
  • Mechanical Problems: Fans can be noisy because of dust build up, worn bearings, or blades rubbing the housing, causing vibrations and extra strain on the motor.
  • DIY Repair Concerns: Attempting to fix noisy fans yourself is risky, especially for non-tech-savvy households, with fears of electrical issues or incomplete fixes. Please ensure the power is completely isolated before diassambling and cleaning.

Why Are Extractor Fans Noisy?

Noisy extractor fans are a common issue, and our experts at Techmeisters identify three main causes:

  • Inherently Noisy Models: Some fans are loud straight out of the box due to poor design or low-quality components, creating constant humming or rattling. Centrifugal fans are well known to be noisy as part of their design
  • Misaligned Blades: Though uncommon, incorrect installation can cause fan blades to rub against the housing, producing scraping or buzzing noises.
  • Wear and Tear: Old fans will have collected dust over time, which makes them work harder. Worn bearings or dust build up causes vibrations, motor strain, and louder operation.
