Thru the wall exhaust fan openings are standard (usually 8" dia.)... you can
probably do the replacement yourself... the cover plates can be round or square
but the fan body and the hole through the wall is always round. First thing
is to order the fan, then find the circuit breaker that controls the fan. Put
it in the off position and remove your fan and place wire nuts on each
individual lead, then energize the circuit and wait for the new fan to
arrive... cover the hole with a piece of cardboard and masking tape. To
install the new fan work in reverse.
