Experience was good until i had to return some stock i had purchased the day before due the job changing. Turns out they do not do refunds and not only that, they charge a 25% restocking fee. As an electrician who potentially spends thousands on each purchase they are a massive liability to my busin...

Troy from Universal fans was very helpful with choosing a range of exhaust fans for a new build. He took the time to study the situation and room size for each fan to make sure the exhaust fans will work well and efficiently. Contact Troy for all your fan requirements.

Great product (Urban 2 fan) and great service from Universal Fans. I'd done my homework but the sales staff still pleased to answer my many questions. Very helpful that ALL the fans (and there was a wide range) were on display and operational, so you could see and hear them before making a decision....

We couldn't fault Universal Fans..we visited their showrooms and were met with friendly and helpful service. We followed up our visit with email communications, and the response was within 12 hours.

I am so pleased that I chose an Aerotron overhead fan from Universal Fans.

Booked a Saturday appointment which was great because I was served right away and didn't have to rush in after work one day. The staff really knew their stuff.

I could not recommend Troy at Universal fans more highly. I requested quotes on several Vortice fans online and next morning I had all the quotes back. I was then contacted by Troy who asked me about my usage. He threw some options around and we then decided on a fan that met my needs, with a little...

Their refund policy is so outdated. 20% have to loose because I m not an expert on the type of exhaust fan I need in an apartment. Did not open the fan, the only way to realised that it was not the correct exhaust fan was using an electrician. So really look somewhere else, where the policy is fair ...

I bought an axial flow fan from Universal which I installed under the floor for ventilation. It operates 5 hours per day and can be heard as a similar sound to a refrigerator. The service from Universal was great and the pricing was very competitive.

Horrible service!
Rude and condescending sales lady who ignored our questions.

Great range of fans - you must go to the showroom.
I purchased ceiling fans for my bathrooms.
Easy to install and quiet.
DO NOT BUY EXTRACTOR FANS FROM BUNNINGS,,,
Go to Oakleigh South for an experience and you might find something you haven't seen before.
