A worked example
Replacing a noisy bathroom extractor
The $280–$550 replacement price assumes usable existing wiring and ducting. Check the cut-out size, discharge point and access before selecting the fan. If the old unit simply discharges into the roof space or the duct is damaged, the work may need a new route rather than a straight replacement.
What changes the cost?
Air path and ducting
The fan must move air to an appropriate discharge point. A short existing duct is a different job from a new route through a difficult ceiling.
Combined units
Heat, light and fan combinations can need different switching, circuit capacity and ceiling clearances from a simple extractor.
Before you arrange the work
Bathrooms and laundries
Provide the room size, existing opening and whether there is visible ducting. Persistent moisture can also need investigation beyond changing the fan.
Rangehoods
Kitchen extraction depends on the appliance and discharge route. Xcel’s electrical connection needs to be coordinated with any separate cabinetry, roofing or ducting work.
How to use these prices
We last checked these prices on 21 October 2026. They include GST and describe typical jobs; they aren’t an upper limit for complex work. When you compare quotes, check that each one covers the same scope, equipment and exclusions.

Common questions
Does a replacement fan always fit the old opening?
No. Match the cut-out and mounting dimensions before ordering; a size change can require ceiling work.
Is ducting included?
The new-position price includes a standard duct route. For your quote, tell us the discharge point, access and any other trades needed.
Does a fan with a heater cost the same as a basic extractor?
Not necessarily. A combined unit can need different circuit capacity, switching, clearances and support. Quote the selected model and ducting route together.
