Kitchen and bathroom extractor fan installation in Auckland, NZ
An extractor fan that vents into the roof space is not doing its job. We size the fan to the room, duct it outside, and give you the paperwork Healthy Homes requires.
Kitchen and bathroom extractor fan installation in NZ has to duct outside through a wall or roof, not into the roof space, and rental properties must meet the Healthy Homes ventilation standard. Livewire Electrical sizes the fan to the room, installs ceiling, wall and inline units across Auckland, replaces noisy old fans, and issues a Certificate of Compliance with every install.

FAQs
Got questions? We've answered the most common ones here.
Is certification included with extractor fan installation?
Yes. All installs include a Certificate of Compliance issued by a registered electrician.
Do extractor fans help meet Healthy Homes Standards?
Yes. Compliant extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens are part of the ventilation requirement under the Healthy Homes Standards for rental properties. We supply documentation showing the install meets the standard.
Can you replace a noisy old extractor fan?
Yes. Modern extractor fans are far quieter and more efficient. We remove the old unit, fit a new fan to the existing wiring and ducting where they are sound, and test airflow before we leave.
What size extractor fan do I need?
Bathroom fans should move at least 25 litres per second to meet the Healthy Homes Standards. Kitchens and larger spaces need more. We size the fan from your room dimensions during the quote.
Can you install ceiling and inline extractor fans?
Yes. We install ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted and inline (in-roof) extractor fans across Auckland. Inline fans are quieter and suit larger bathrooms or spaces where ceiling room is tight.
Do extractor fans need to vent outside?
Yes. Under the New Zealand Building Code and the Healthy Homes Standards, extractor fans must vent directly outside through an external wall or roof, not into the roof space. We install full ducting to the exterior every time.
Where should I install an extractor fan?
Bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and toilets all benefit from extraction. The Healthy Homes Standards require extractor fans in the bathrooms and kitchens of rental properties. We assess room size and humidity to recommend the right placement.
