MVP Award Winner: Ultra Silent Humidity-Sensing Fans- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/13/2007)
- Broan-NuTone. A new weapon has been forged to join the ongoing battle against indoor humidity and the mold it breeds. Ultra Silent humidity-sensing fans are designed to detect a rapid increase in moisture at the ceiling and turn on automatically to exhaust it. They also turn off automatically. Homeowners can set the humidity-sensing level and how long the fan runs--from 5 to 60 minutes--after the humidity level is back to normal. "The sensitivity controls are a nice feature," one judge said. The fans operate at a respectably quiet noise level of .9 sones. Two models come with nightlights. Cost: $312 and up. 800-558-1711.
