Ventilation Fan Price in Pakistan: Window, Wall and Inline Duct Types, Airflow, Noise and How to Choose
Ventilation fan price in Pakistan runs from about PKR 2,300 for a small window fan to about PKR 39,000 for a large inline duct fan, and the difference comes from size, airflow and the build. A ventilation fan pulls stale air, heat, smoke and smell out of a room and lets fresh air in. This page explains the window, wall and inline duct types, how to size one by airflow, indicative rates and how to choose for a bathroom, a shop or a hall. See the exhaust fans range, the kitchen exhaust fan page and the exhaust fan size guide.
What a ventilation fan does
A ventilation fan moves air out of, or into, a space. In a bathroom it removes steam, in a kitchen it removes heat and smell, in a shop or a workshop it removes fumes and dust and in a hall it keeps air moving. It works best when fresh air has a way in, such as a window or a vent opposite the fan.
Types of ventilation fan
- Window and wall exhaust fans. A fan in a frame fixed in a glass pane or a wall opening.
- Ceiling ventilation fans. Mounted in a false ceiling and ducted out.
- Inline duct fans. Fit inside a duct to pull air over a long run, mixed-flow or centrifugal.
- Blower fans. High-pressure fans for fumes and long ducts.

How to size a ventilation fan
Work out the room volume in cubic feet and decide how many air changes per hour you want. A bathroom needs about eight changes per hour, a kitchen ten to fifteen and a workshop more. Multiply and divide by sixty to get the airflow in cubic feet per minute, then compare with the fan label. See the exhaust fan size guide for worked examples.
Noise and power
A larger fan turning slowly is quieter than a small fan on high. Inline duct fans placed away from the room reduce noise. A window fan draws about 40 to 80 watts and an inline fan 20 to 280 watts depending on size. Check the watt rating on the label.
Where to place it
Put the fan on the wall farthest from the air entry, and as high as the room allows, because warm and smoky air rises. In a bathroom, place it near the shower. In a shop, place it opposite the door. Seal the opening around the frame, and use a shutter to stop dust and rain coming back in.
Installation and safety
Fixed wiring should be done by a licensed electrician. Use a switch or a timer switch to control the fan, keep wiring out of the airstream and use a protected, correctly rated circuit with an RCCB in wet rooms. Choose a fan with a motor rated for continuous use if it will run for hours.
Maintenance
Grease and dust slow the blades and make noise. Switch off the supply, clean the blades and the grille every few months and check that the shutter opens freely. A fan that squeals or wobbles may need a new bearing or a balanced blade.
Frequently Asked Questions
A small window or wall exhaust fan costs about PKR 2,300 to 3,500, a plastic exhaust fan about PKR 5,050 to 6,500 and an inline duct fan about PKR 4,700 to 7,600 for 4 to 6 inch and up to PKR 39,000 for larger sizes, depending on brand and type.
An exhaust fan removes air from a room. A ventilation fan is the broader term and can also bring fresh air in. In daily use the words are often interchanged, and the key point is the airflow and the duct, not the name.
Find the room volume, decide on air changes per hour, and calculate the airflow in cubic feet per minute. A bathroom needs about eight changes, a kitchen ten to fifteen. Match the fan's rated airflow to your figure, and allow for duct losses.
An inline duct fan placed away from the room is usually quieter, because the motor sits in the duct. A window fan sits in the wall and its noise enters the room. A larger fan running slowly is quieter than a small one on high.
Yes, if it has a motor rated for continuous use. Choose a quality fan, keep it clean and avoid blocked ducts. A fan that runs hot, squeals or smells may have a failing bearing or motor, so have it checked.
