Hi there, Need some help fixing exhaust fan cover in my property, unfortunately this is something i can't attend physically to and my manager is suggesting to call electrician to replace the entire fan which i think will be quite dearer (not the fan but labour). Brand is 'mistral', can you guys suggest where can i buy the cover for it and then have tenant replace it. Fan is good condition hence don't want to replace whole thing...or any other trade can fix this. I think electrician will charge call out fees for this 15 min job....photos attached.... any suggestions would help... cheers
That's an old girl, whilst she still works I don't like your chances of easily sourcing a replacement cover. I wouldn't trust a tenant to replace it, best to bite the bullet and get a sparky to do it. Ring a couple yourself and get prices.
no clue on pricing..... wat's the ballpark figure you think? (just so i don't get ripped off....)does it have to be sparky....i mean now a days most of them plug and play wondering if any handyman can do it....
Easy option is to get a new fan exact model so the cut out hole is the same. Fan would be 50 to 100. You def need electrician to do it he would be happy with a pineapple in cash (50).
Where is the property located? We have a very good handyman in Brisbane. Otherwise try Bunnings special orders desk.
property is in Melb (inner west).... looked at online but seems this particular brand is no longer available foe sale....and i thought given if we find the exact size replacement iy should easy to change....even if i do this via handyman or sparky how much i should be looking at....ball park figure pls..
I replaced one last week. Cost me $31 to buy from Bunningsand came with a plug wired in. Took me around 30 mins to install with the wiring being unplugging the old one and plugging the new one in. so if you pay an electrician you should be looking at call out charge plus no more than an hour.
The hardest part will be finding the correct size cover, not really sure on price it's been a while since I have had to replace or repair one. Using an electrician approximately an hour labour plus parts for a replacement.
Can you let us know how much do you pay handyman these days? Ours come and go, not cheap, and hard to book....
