Tip Of The Week.

The 690NT is a gem of a product. Not only does this upgrade kit reduce sound by 50%, it also bolsters airflow by 20%. The white grille is set to match almost any decor your bathroom might currently have. If you have an older house with an older Nautilus N671 or N688, Broan 670, 671 688, 689 or Nutone 693, 695, 696N that has become noisy and inefficient, this is a hand in glove fit for you. This requires no wiring, no ductwork, just a simple 10 minute "plug and play" if you will.

Our Tip Of The Week is this -

Measure the size of the existing housing in your ceiling before buying!

Range Hood Beginners Guide

New homes are now built much tighter in order to increase energy efficiency. The down side of this development is that it can also significantly increase levels of indoor pollution, since it results in decreased airflow. Agencies and organizations such as the EPA and the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) have identified the kitchen as the key source of indoor air pollution for which they have established the range hood to be the most effective combatant. BROAN Range Hoods are designed to quickly capture pollution at the source and exhaust it outdoors rather than throughout the home. Additionally, BROAN Range Hoods work hard to protect the home’s interior against the damaging effects of heat, humidity and airborne grease; saving time, labor and money.

So what do all them there fancy terms mean? Lets find out!

Ducted or Ductless?

Your range hood should be ducted to effectively keep the home safe and harmonious. While ductless filters do nab some of the grease and odor, a lot of the heat and smoke will still be left lingering in the home. 

- Always, always use a metal duct. 

What do CFM and Sone mean?

CFM is cubic feat per minute of exhaust flow. Same rule applies as with the bathroom fans - the higher the number, the greater the amount of air being exhausted. Sone is the recognized unit of loudness. One sone is about equal to the quiet hum of a refrigerator.

What does the term Convertible mean?

You can duct these range hoods vertically or horizontally.

Broan SmartSense is the smart choice to meet ASHRAE Standard 62.2* and other related guidelines (including building codes derived from the ASHRAE standard).Why do I need to ventilate all day? Proper ventilation exhausts stale air and replaces it with fresh air. This minimizes mold and mildew growth, and helps remove gases and particles not trapped by filtration units. This automatic ventilation solution reduces indoor pollutants such as household cleaners, VOCs, carbon monoxide, and off-gassing formaldehyde from building materials, carpets and other furnishings. Installs as easily as an exhaust fan. Simply recess the fan housing in the ceiling, vent with 6" duct to the outside and connect the power wires. No separate control wiring is necessary. Then, program the controls to match the size of the home.An economic alternative to other systems. Broan SmartSense® utilizes exhaust ventilation fans normally installed in the home. It automatically adjusts total run-time based on square footage and number of bedrooms. Broan SmartSense® controls monitor manual fan operation, and adjust ventilation time to optimize energy usage. This system is more cost effective and energy efficient than other ventilation strategies that require the use of the home’s air handler. With only one fan running at a time, Broan SmartSense® uses less than 40 watts during ventilation cycles. For tightly built homes. Consider using a Broan Make-up Air Damper to form a complete balanced ventilation system by linking with Broan SmartSense® ventilation fans and/or select Best® range hoods.
