Quiet, code-compliant exhaust fan installs for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and more, serving Mid-Michigan and Traverse City.
A properly installed exhaust fan does more than just clear steam. It protects your home from mold, mildew, and moisture damage. Whether you’re adding a new fan, replacing an old noisy one, or remodeling your bathroom, BTE Electric can help you get it done right.
Moisture is the enemy of drywall, paint, grout, and insulation. Without proper ventilation, bathrooms and laundry rooms become mold factories, especially in Michigan’s climate.
A properly wired exhaust fan:
If your current fan is loud, underpowered, or not even vented outside (which is common in older homes), it may be time for a replacement or upgrade.
ANSWER: We install all major types of residential ventilation fans, including:
We can help you pick the right CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating for your space so your new fan actually does its job.
ANSWER: Here are some signs your current fan may not be up to the task:
In many older homes, fans were never installed to begin with. We can help add a new circuit, switch, and roof or wall vent to bring you up to modern standards.
ANSWER: Cost depends on whether we’re replacing an existing fan or installing a brand new one. Here’s a breakdown:
We’ll give you a quote up front and explain any options for quieter fans, better airflow, or added lighting.
ANSWER: In Michigan, code allows windows only if they’re operable and used consistently. Most people don’t crack a window in winter, which is why an exhaust fan is required in most bathroom remodels.
ANSWER: Yes. We regularly run new wiring, install dedicated switches, and create an exterior vent (roof or wall). It’s a common part of adding a bathroom fan to older homes.
ANSWER: Yes. Most older fans are either underpowered or cheaply made. We replace them with quiet, efficient models with sound ratings as low as 0.3 sones, so you can barely hear them running.
ANSWER: We make every effort to use the existing opening or neatly cut for a new one. Small drywall patching is included, but full paint matching is usually up to the homeowner or contractor.
Whether it’s for a steamy bathroom, stuffy laundry room, or new addition, we’ll install a properly sized, quiet exhaust fan that protects your home from mold and moisture. Call today to schedule a quote or installation in Mid-Michigan or the Traverse City area.
