Expect clean workmanship, clear timelines, and lasting results from a licensed local team that knows Santa Clarita's neighborhoods, HOAs, and permitting process.
Our Work
Benefits
Modern Solutions For Today’s Homes
We design ventilation wiring that supports today’s needs and tomorrow’s upgrades. Expect compatibility with variable-speed ECM fans, multi-mode operation (continuous/boost), and smart controls like humidity/occupancy sensors and app-enabled switches. We can integrate with Lutron Caséta or Decora Smart ecosystems, add low-voltage trigger wiring for inline fans, and provide dedicated circuits for heater-equipped units. Our approach keeps options open for future IAQ sensors, ERV add-ons, or more powerful fans—without rewiring your home.
Code-Compliant Installations
Shaffer Construction manages permitting and inspections with the City of Santa Clarita so your project passes the first time. Our installations follow the 2022 California Electrical Code, California Mechanical Code, and Title 24/ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation requirements. We ensure correct circuit protection, proper equipment grounding, and exterior vent termination with backdraft dampers. For HOA communities, we provide drawings/specs for board review and coordinate cap locations to maintain curb appeal and compliance.
Expertise You Can Trust
We use UL-listed boxes, metal fan mounting brackets, and code-compliant NM-B or MC cable sized to load. Penetrations are sealed with fire-rated caulk, and ducting is routed to minimize equivalent length, using insulated R-8 duct where appropriate to control condensation and noise. We specify quiet Energy Star fans and robust roof/wall caps with bird screens and dampers. Every splice is made in an accessible junction box, labeled, and torqued to manufacturer specs for long-term reliability.
Custom Assessments & Planning
Our assessment includes room volume, shower frequency, and moisture sources to size fans (e.g., 80–150 CFM for larger primary baths). We review attic access, duct paths, and termination options to reduce bends and noise. Control strategies—separate light/fan switching, timers, or humidity sensors—are matched to your routines. For heater-equipped fans or inline configurations, we design dedicated circuits and switching. You’ll receive a clear plan, product options, and a schedule that fits your household.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace or add a bathroom exhaust fan in Santa Clarita?+
If wiring is added or altered, or if you’re adding a new exterior termination, the City of Santa Clarita typically requires electrical/mechanical permits. We handle the submittal, coordinate HOA approvals when needed, and schedule inspections so your upgrade is fully compliant.
What fan size (CFM) should my bathroom have?+
As a general rule, bathrooms need at least 50 CFM intermittent or 20 CFM continuous. Larger primary baths or rooms with separate toilet compartments often require 80–150 CFM. We calculate room volume, duct length, and use for accurate sizing and quieter operation.
Can you install a humidity sensor so the fan runs automatically?+
Yes. We wire humidity-sensing controls or smart switches that turn the fan on when moisture rises and off when it clears. This reduces runtime by up to 50%, keeps mirrors clear, and helps prevent mildew without you needing to remember a timer.
My current fan is very loud. Will a new one be quieter?+
Absolutely. Modern Energy Star fans can run at 0.3–1.0 sone. We pair quiet fans with improved wiring, insulated ducting, and a shorter, straighter exhaust path to reduce turbulence. Proper mounting and vibration isolation further cut noise.
Will my HOA allow a new roof or wall cap for venting?+
Most Santa Clarita HOAs allow properly located, color-matched caps. We provide cut sheets and photos for your board, suggest discreet placements, and coordinate to meet aesthetic guidelines while maintaining full code compliance.
