Turn off power, remove the cover, vacuum dust/debris, wipe blades with a damp cloth, and clean the grill with soapy water. Repeat every 3-6 months.

DIY is possible if you’re comfortable with wiring and venting. However, if you lack electrical experience or need new ductwork, hiring an electrician or HVAC professional is safer.

Check for blocked ducts, a dirty fan grill, or incorrect venting. Ensure the fan is powerful enough for the room size and that the damper (flap) on the exterior vent opens when the fan is on.
