Ultra Silent™ Ventilation Fans Provide More Light Using Less Energy

Hartford, Wis., April 16, 2010 – Continuing in the tradition of providing best-in-class products, the Broan® and NuTone® Ultra Silent™ Ventilation Fans with Lights now feature improved high-performance lighting and more sophisticated fan grille designs that blend into any décor.

The new high-performance lighting technology uses less energy and projects more light into the room. The updated lighting system reduces wattage requirements from the current 42-watt system to a new 36-watt system, which saves energy. This change, which applies to the QTXE and QTRE Series, continues to meet all ENERGY STAR® and Title 24 requirements.

"In addition to making continuous engineering improvements, we constantly review consumer trends and conduct customer testing on our products. As a result, we have updated the QTXE Series with a fresh, traditional grille. Likewise, the color and matte finish reflect the most popular white ceiling color," says Patrick Nielsen, marketing manager, ventilation fans, Broan-NuTone®.

Additional improvements to the Broan and NuTone Ultra Silent Ventilation Fans with Lights include:

• Designs that hug the ceiling
• Optimized lens design that provides wider light spread pattern
• Grilles that feature traditional designs with exposed louvers and smooth, curved edges
• Convenient GU24 bulbs are readily available

Like many other ENERGY STAR qualified fans from Broan and NuTone, Ultra Silent Ventilation Fans with Lights cost only $1 a year to operate – a small price to pay for superior indoor air quality in the home.

In addition, all Broan-NuTone ENERGY STAR qualified ventilation fans are designed, engineered, manufactured and customer supported in the U.S. which also means the carbon footprint required to make these fans available to homeowners is less than many of its competitors coming from overseas.

The latest improvements to the Ultra Silent™ Ventilation Fans with Lights from Broan® and NuTone® include new high-performance lighting technology that uses less energy and an optimized lens surface area that projects more light into the room. Additionally, the QTXE Series features a new conventional-looking grille with a more traditional design.
