Bath fan replacement
I use to do replacements for a living, as part of my job.
Some bath fans cost that much. Depends on what you need.
However, the exhaust fans used in the older homes and villas in TV are the low-end models.
Good news, is on most models, you can just replace the motor, in that is what usually goes bad, and can be easily replaced. Motor and time could be $150 or so.
However, if the entire unit needs to be replaced, opens a whole can of worms, especially if the air duct is not the same size as the old. Then, you have to get up in the attic and replace duct work. Even for an inexpensive fan, time, ducting and fan can easily be your $250 or more.
So... least expensive... just replace the motor of the existing fan and get another quote. If the whole thing needs replaced, try to replace with a fan that has the same size duct.
