I found a ‘sparky’ to install and wire a new bathroom heater/light/exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms. The one I bought is the same brand as previously in the bathroom and although there were much cheaper units, I kept with that brand as the ceiling cut-holes are the same size. All done @ a price of $150. cash in hand.* The new unit cost $240. and other brands roughly the same size and capacity sold for as little as $99.
The man made use of an existing light switch near the doorway to the bathroom, then pushed a four core wire down the conduit alongside the existing switch wires. The new switch has four buttons to operate fan,heater x2, light and the young sparky suggested I give away having two levels of heating and use just one and have that switch operating both heating lamps. Works well and I have now returned to my own bathroom.
OK, I won’t write any more Home Handyman stories.
*common term for these jobs is 'a cashie'.
