How to Install Heating & Ventilation

Every home has a heating and ventilation system that must be replaced every so often. If the air gets stale and does not circulate the way it should, it is time for a replacement. While it is tempting to hire a professional, this can be very expensive. Most heating and ventilation systems can be done by the average homeowner.

Instructions

- 1
  Decide on a good location for your ventilation system. A basement is usually a good location if you have one. Place the system near a 120-volt electrical outlet.
- 2
  Install a support system for the ventilator. However, if it is placed over a cement or other sturdy surface you do not need to worry about this step.
- 3
  Use a large saw to cut holes through the outside wall for the exhaust ducts.
- 4
  Run this ductwork to a central location, so air can be exhausted into your home. Otherwise, you may fasten it to the intake on your central heating appliance.
- 5
  Attach drain tubing to the ventilator and run it to the closest floor drain.
- 6
  Connect the ventilator to the nearby 120-volt outlet. If there is no outlet close to where you installed the ventilator, you could call a professional electrician to complete this step for you.
