When dealing with electronic things like gaming console, router or a cable box in one cabinet it leads to a hot box and production of a lot of dust. They can become too much for the cabinet for one to realize how minimal the air circulation is for the equipment in a less time. Having a ventilator can be good in increasing air circulation and reducing the amount of heat in the cabinet. Here are the steps to follow when installing a cooling fan assembly for a cabinet.

Most of the people opt to remove the doors of the cabinet. However, for the people who are more concerned how their room looks will look for the best option which is installing a ventilator by using a cabinet ventilator kit. There are steps which a person can follow when installing a ventilator which ensures electronic cabinet is chill and ensures the equipment can last longer.

The first step is ensuring that you have the materials needed. The most recommended type of the ventilator is the single or double controlled ones. The needed materials may include the leveling tools, jigsaw, drill measuring tape and the screw driver. You begin by marking the place where the ventilator will be placed.

The next step is figuring out the place where the conditioner will go and mark the place. Placing the conditioner will depend on the needs of a person. You will need to think wisely because if most things in the house are in the first shelf of a cupboard it is advisable to place the ventilator parallel to that shelf.

After figuring out the place you can be able to spot the central point by writing or coloring material. Use the covering tape in outlining the lines which has been marked. The next step will be placing the ventilation unit into the spotted center point by using the covering tape. The leveling apparatuses will play their role of ensuring that the ventilator is well leveled. The tape measure enable you to choose the correct measurements hence avoiding damaging the cabinet.

Cutting the hole will be the next phase. Holes are cut by the use of a drill. The mainly suggested size is half inch bit. Two different holes will be drilled at the contrary junctions of the drawn square. The saw function will be to cut through the scripted lines. The drilled hole will be the correct place to start sawing. The removed square could be used to estimate if the ventilator kit can fit in perfectly.

The next step is assembling the ventilator together and then installing it. It is good to start by reading the manual which came with the kit. You should hook the conditioner to the grill and ensure the right side is facing out. The next thing is ensure all the things are attached at the mounting plate and the entire unit can now be put in the hole.

The last step will be using the drill to drill four holes at the corners of the mounting plate. The holes should be shallow. The holes are for injecting of screws. The screw can be inserted by use of a screw driver to the drilled holes. All the process will be now complete.
