Hello. You live in Burnaby. Your home needs moving air. You want to stay cool. You want to stay dry. I am Randall. I help with home repairs. I do bathroom fan replacement. I do ceiling fan installation.
Air stays still in many homes. Still air gets hot. Still air gets damp. Damp air leads to mold. Hot air leads to sweat. You can fix this. You can change your fans. I handle the work for you.
Bathroom Fan Replacement
Your bathroom gets wet. You take a hot shower. Steam fills the room. Steam hits the ceiling. It turns into water. Water sits on the paint. It sits on the grout. Mold grows in these spots. This ruins your bathroom.
An old fan fails. It makes a loud noise. It does not pull air. You hold a square of toilet paper to the grill. The paper falls. This means the fan is dead. You need a new one.
I start the job. I go to your breaker box. I turn off the power. I test the switch. I climb my ladder. I remove the plastic cover. I see the motor. I unscrew the motor. I disconnect the wires. I pull the old housing out.
Sometimes the hole is small. I cut the drywall. I make the hole bigger. I check the vent pipe. I make sure the pipe goes outside. It must not vent into your attic. This causes rot. I fix the pipe connection.
I take the new fan. I put the housing in the ceiling. I screw it to the wood joists. I connect the white wire to white. I connect the black wire to black. I connect the green wire to ground. I tuck the wires away. I attach the motor. I snap the cover on.
I turn the power back on. I flip the switch. The fan is quiet. The steam leaves the room. Your bathroom stays dry. This is bathroom fan replacement.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Burnaby summers feel warm. You want a breeze. A ceiling fan moves the air. It does not lower the temperature. It moves air over your skin. This makes you feel cool.
In winter you change the direction. You flip a small switch on the motor. The blades spin the other way. This pushes warm air down. Warm air stays near the ceiling. The fan brings it to the floor. You save money on heat.
I start ceiling fan installation. I turn off the power. I remove the old light. I look at the box in the ceiling. Most light boxes are weak. They cannot hold a heavy fan. A fan moves. It vibrates. A weak box will break. The fan will fall.
I remove the old box. I install a ceiling fan brace. This brace grips the wood joists. It holds many pounds. It stays still. I pull the wires through the box.
I build the fan on the ground. I attach the blades to the arms. I attach the arms to the motor. I lift the motor. I hang it on the bracket. I connect the wires. I use wire nuts. I wrap them in tape. I slide the canopy up. I tighten the screws.
I install the light bulbs. I attach the glass shades. I turn the power on. I test the speeds. I check for wobbles. I balance the blades with small weights. The fan runs smooth. You feel the breeze.
Air Circulation Benefits
Air must move. Moving air stops smells. It stops dust from settling. It keeps the humidity even.
In Burnaby we have rain. Rain makes the air heavy. A bathroom fan pulls that heavy air out. It keeps your towels dry. It keeps your mirror clear.
In a bedroom a fan helps you sleep. It creates white noise. It keeps the air fresh. You do not wake up hot.
I serve many areas. I go to East Vancouver. I go to Kerrisdale. I visit Yaletown and the West End. I work in North Vancouver and West Vancouver. I go to Richmond and UBC. I cover the Westside and South Vancouver. I am on Main St and South Main St.
Why Hire a Handyman
Electricity is dangerous. You can get a shock. You can start a fire. I know the wires. I know the codes.
Ladders are also dangerous. You can fall. I have steady ladders. I have the right tools. I have wire strippers. I have voltage testers. I have drywall saws.
I am a Burnaby handyman near me. I arrive at your door. I wear clean shoes. I bring a drop cloth. I catch the dust. I clean up when I finish.
You save time. You do not spend your Saturday on a ladder. You do not read manuals. You do not go to the hardware store three times. I bring everything.
Specific Fan Options
You can choose your fan. Some bathroom fans have lights. Some have heaters. Some have sensors. The sensor feels the humidity. It turns on by itself. This is good for kids. It is good for guests. They forget to turn the fan on. The sensor remembers.
Ceiling fans have options too. Some have remotes. You stay in bed. You push a button. The fan starts. Some have LED lights. These save power. Some have wood blades. Some have metal blades.
You buy the fan you like. I put it up. I make sure it works.
Pricing for My Services
I keep pricing simple. I charge $120 for the first hour. This covers the trip. It covers the setup. I charge $85 for each additional hour.
Most fan jobs take one or two hours. If I replace one fan it is fast. If I replace five fans it takes longer. I work at a steady pace. I do not waste time.
You know the cost. You get a receipt. You get a job done right.
Maintaining Your Fans
Fans need care. Dust builds up on blades. This makes the fan heavy. It makes the fan wobble. Wipe your blades every month. Use a damp cloth.
Bathroom fans get dusty too. The grill clogs. Air cannot move through the dust. Pull the cover down. Use a vacuum. Suck the dust out of the motor. This keeps the motor cool. It keeps the fan quiet.
If your fan squeaks call me. If your fan shakes call me. I can tighten the screws. I can oil the parts.
