Listen for unusual noises indicating mechanical issues.

Check airflow direction to ensure proper ventilation.

Here are some additional steps you could include in the "Operational Checks" section of the ventilation fan checklist

Verify that the fan speed is adjustable and functions correctly at different settings

Check for vibrations or movement of the fan that could indicate improper installation

Inspect for any air leaks around the fan housing or duct connections

Monitor the temperature of the motor to ensure it does not overheat during operation

Test the fan’s response to any automated controls, such as timers or sensors

Confirm that the fan is operating within the specified noise levels for the model

Ensure that the fan does not obstruct any airflow paths or create blockages

Check for any accumulation of debris or dust on the fan blades and housing

Validate that the electrical connections are secure and free from damage

Observe the fan's performance over a designated period to ensure consistent operation

Schedule regular cleaning of fan blades and housing.

Inspect and replace filters as needed to maintain air quality.

Lubricate motor and moving parts as per manufacturer recommendations.

Ensure all electrical connections are secure and protected from moisture.

Check for any obstructions in the fan's path or airflow.
