Can you install this entirely from below (no attic access)? I'm pretty handy but not a pro.

I can only say that the pros who installed mine did need to go through the attic for the electrical connections. This fan/light/heater requires a dedicated circuit and they used the one for the jacuzzi they removed. I'm pretty handy, too, but this is not something I wanted to tackle, due to the electrical. It also needs a triple switch on the wall.

We had this installed professionally in two different properties. Both the contractors and electricians commented similar products by other manufacturers are much easier to install. It must be installed from the attic and because of its weight requires more extensive framing. Good product though.

You can install them yourself fairly easy. Took me bout 30 mins to do with the instructions and tools provided. I used a step ladder for easier access to the top of the roof.

That's not possible considering every installation will be unique. If you'd like to install this yourself there are many videos online that show how. After watching several of those you can look at the area you plan on mounting yours and see what you will need.

I would say you could bolt it from the bottom possibly if you take the screw clamps out of the holes they run through. Probably not the best option though.

We mounted it on hangers. Mounting on ceiling May need an electrician to do the task. Easier to mont on hangers . Anyway, let us know whether it can be done. So far have not heard anyone doing it.

According to the manual, no. Manual states attic access is required. I returned mine for that reason and ordered the FV-05-11VKSL1 which is unfortunately significantly more expensive. I'd be curious to know how William Harris was able to get it installed without attic access.

If you saw it down you could. I think it's a waste to do that unless your really having venting issues out of the pole. You could cut the vent down to an inch above the singles then mount the fan over it.

I do not think it would be safe for one person to do this installation. It is not all that heavy but long and awkward for one person to do it alone. My wife and I had no trouble with it. Actually I only needed her help for about 10 minutes. After that I soloed.

Not sure. The fan at the back needs clearance so you might not be able to install that way

I had mine put up by somebody but if you have higher ceilings I'm sure all you have to do is go to your local hardware store and purchase a chain that size. So to answer that yes you can

I have done a couple of replacements from the roof. It is kind of tricky because there is not much room for your hands and tools. Be sure the power is off because the heat in the attic could cause the wires to become energized.

Pretty sure you can't unless yo are willing to do some drilling - which would be pretty tricky with this unit.

I believe it states they they can be mounted in an attic. I was NOT happy about the quality control of the product. I had to steal parts from the second one, just to make a complete one.... and it didn't work. Make sure you have no obstructions

As long as there's a box in the ceiling..there shouldn't be any problem to get it installed!!

yes. In fact you can't install it where a stud is placed. You must avoid studs and afix behind the tile and hardibacker.

This product requires that you install within the ceiling via overhead electrical. I hired an electrician, as this is not an easy task requiring assembly.

From the looks of it, I suppose you could but I would get another opinion by someone more knowledgeable than myself about where to install products like this. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
