VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Bathroom vent fans often don’t get used because they’re old and noisy, so the increased moisture leads to mold and mildew. A bath fan upgrade kit allows you to replace the fan motor assembly without removing the old enclosure.

Just match one of the kit’s mounting plates with your enclosure, attach the fan motor assembly to it, and snap it in place. There’s even a new grill to give it a fresh look. Plus you’ll reduce the fan noise by half and increase air flow by up to 20 percent.
