Turn off the power to the area of the house where you will be working. Test the lights to make sure the electricity is off before making any cuts into the ceiling. Drill a hole into the ceiling in the center of the location where you would like to place the fan. The best placement for the bathroom exhaust fan is near, but not directly over, the shower. Push a long piece of wire through the hole in the ceiling. Take the bathroom fan’s housing with you and go into the attic. Locate the wire and the hole. Remove the wire from the hole and place the fan in between the two nearest joists
