Ok here is what I have. Of coarse the exhaust fan(BLUE) and heater fan(RED).
The light (YELLOW)
What I have here is 3 individual switches on the wall, but coming from those switches are only two sets of wires and not 3. Both set of wires have only a ground,neutral, and hot wires.
I have already wired up the light to the switch I wanted and it works fine, but with fan and heater, I cannot get to work. I wired the fan(blue) to the black and the heater(red) to the black.
I am probably confusing who ever reads this, but I am confused on how to wire this without 3 way wiring.
Can anybody help?
I have the light hooked up and it works just fine.Wiring a exhaust,light,heater, bath fan unit?
If the to Hot wires came separate on your fan, then they should NOT be wired together. If there is only two cables exiting your switch box, then one may have four wires in it, controlling both fan and heater. at your heater/fan, look at the wire coming in, does it have a ground, neutral, and 2 hots. If so, then wire on of the hots to your heater (red) then the other hot the your fan(blue).Wiring a exhaust,light,heater, bath fan unit?
Run a hot wire to the light, fan, heater box, hook up the hot side there, then simply run three neutral wires down to switch, this eliminates the hot wire in the small box, then simply split your incoming neutral into thirds and hook up to switches. Make sure you hook up a ground on both ends, one to the switch box, if using more than one simply run a jumper from box to box, and ground the metal casing on the light, fan, heater box and then run that ground by itself to the main ground in the house.
Hope this helps
one set of wires (called Romex) is the HOT side. the other is Switched going to the Device. The Fan and Heater needs more romex down the wall, to seperately control the functions desired. you need two more conductors. Drill %26amp; Fish it in. OR it could be a SMART Switch. in a bathroom ?not. was the original wiring working? if you have attic above, you can do it.
both the switch and the unit should have a manual.
it's really not that hard...
