I've seen a number of older exhaust fans that start very slowly. Turn them on,

them to operate properly?


First thing to try is lubing the bearings I would think

If you are talking about the roof attic fans, the motor might be
starting to go. They sell replacement motors at Lowes or HD and they
are easy to change.
