HDB vs condo vs landed
HDB
Usually at the low end. HDB kitchens and service yards mostly have windows, so a window-type fan with no ducting is the usual fit.
Condo
Costs more when the fan must connect to an existing duct or riser, or be fitted through a small false-ceiling hatch. Façade changes need MCST approval, which limits the options.
Landed
Varies the most. New wall openings, long duct runs and high ceilings all add time, but there are fewer limits on where a fan can go.
Ventilation fan installation price: common questions
Why does an inline duct fan cost more than a window fan?
The fan sits inside a duct, often above a false ceiling, so the job includes running and supporting the duct, sealing the joints and fitting an outlet. A window fan simply replaces a window panel.
Do quieter or greaseproof fans cost more?
Usually, yes. Kitchen fans built for grease have cleanable grilles and sealed motors, and quiet models use better bearings and mounts. For a kitchen, or a room next to a bedroom, the extra is often worth it.
Is ducting included in the price?
A short connection to an existing duct usually is. A new duct run is quoted after seeing the route, because length and ceiling access change the work a lot.
