A High-Performance Ventilation Upgrade for a Richmond Home
In Richmond, our customer contacted Kenner Electrics after noticing their existing bathroom exhaust fan wasn’t effectively removing steam or odours. The fan was underpowered and struggling to push air through long duct runs to the external vent, causing condensation and dampness. Our team designed and installed a new inline ducted exhaust fan system, providing superior ventilation performance while maintaining a sleek, modern look in the bathroom.
Professional Installation and Smart Design
Our licensed electricians began by removing the existing exhaust system, then installed a high-capacity 150mm centrifugal inline fan (750m³/hr) — ideal for longer duct runs and multi-room applications. We also upsized the ducting from the fan outlet to the external vent to improve airflow and efficiency.
To ensure serviceability and compliance, we installed two access hatches — one in the kitchen ceiling near the external vent and another in the bathroom. These allow for easy maintenance and cleaning in the future. A new internal ceiling vent was also added, as the previous vent was built into the old fan housing.
The result was a quiet, powerful exhaust system that efficiently removes steam and moisture, reducing the risk of mould and creating a fresher, healthier bathroom environment.
Why Upgrade to an Inline Exhaust Fan?
Unlike traditional ceiling fans that sit directly above the vent, inline exhaust fans are installed within the roof cavity and connected by ducting to internal and external vents. This setup offers several benefits:
- Superior airflow for long duct runs – perfect for multi-storey homes or bathrooms far from an exterior wall.
- Quieter operation – with the fan motor located away from the living space, noise is significantly reduced.
- Improved moisture and odour control – helping to prevent condensation, mould growth and damp smells.
- Flexible installation options – ideal for retrofits, renovations or multi-room ventilation setups.
For Melbourne homes with ongoing moisture issues or ineffective fans, upgrading to a ducted inline exhaust fan system is one of the best long-term solutions for comfort and air quality.
