That bathroom fan with humidistat
Thanks to whoever it was here who recommended it he went to Falcon yesterday
and bought one, he's drilling a wall as I type to fit one of the controls there are three little boxes as well as the fan!). Although it hasn't been tested yet I'm sure we'll be pleased with it. He bought the all singing all dancing low wattage, low voltage version. What's more, they gave him a discount without asking! When he's finished that he'll have a reason to test the fugi :-) Mary |

Yorkshire people (like us) are supposed to be tighter than the Scots and looking for a bargain. And whatever a wholesaler offers as an opening discount is usually in their favour by a large margin.

We're not into haggling. At our age what would we spend the 'saving' on? In fact, what would anyone spend the 'saving' on? We haven't put the discount into a cocoa tin on the mantlepiece ... PS Next time you need a fan fitted let me know and you (well your spouse) can borrow my core drill if you want. It was fitted into the existing air brick which has housed a conventional pull cord fan for years so no drill was needed except to make small screw holes to mount the fan housing into a cover plate. Thank you, but I imagine that he has everything he could need anyway. If he didn't he'd rather buy equipment of his own or borrow from a son - the family is a communal resource. He's now gone for a shower to test it! Mary |

I don't know why we were surprised but it was quite a shock when it came on especially since there was no observable steam in the room. And, yes, I know that it works on rh and that isn't necessarily observable. The steam would certainly have been obvious if the fan hadn't done its stuff. Mary |
