Wiring location

[twgreen]

I have an apex 265RBSS and wanted to add a fan to my bedroom vent. I was just going to get the powered version of what is there and add the fan as it appears ready to drop in.
My question is where to grab the wiring from and how to pass it through the ceiling? Will it already be there or some other option?
Thanks for the help.

It's possible your unit has an option of a powered vent in that location. I would pull down the inner trim if any and see if you can see wiring there.

If no wiring you might have to get creative. Can you use a metal coat hanger to reach from the vent location over to one of the ceiling lights? If so they pull the light down and tap a wire into the light fixture and use the coat hanger to pull the wires over to the vent location.

Last ditch is to use some decorative raceway from somewhere like Home Depot and run the wire up a wall and across the ceiling.

Chances are HIGH that option one (wiring is inside or near the vent once you remove the trim piece) or two (tapping into a nearby light and running a couple new wiresover to the vent) will be a viable option.

Hengs replacement vent fan was an option I used in a previous TT and also replaced the bathroom vent fan with it's little noisy computer fan. I was very happy with it.

Maxair and Fantastic Fan are two of the top rated models (along with top dollar) but they are quieter and a bit more powerful along with fancier.
