Broan Evolve Premium Series 50-80-110 CFM Selectable Exhaust Fan with Continuous Run

Broan Evolve Premium Series 50-80-110 CFM Selectable Exhaust Fan with Continuous Run

Q: How energy efficient is this fan?

Very efficient. The fan is ENERGY STAR certified, has selectable airflow settings so you use only what you need, and has durable materials that help maintain performance over time.

Q: Do I need a lot of clearance above the ceiling or in the attic?

You’ll need the housing space (about 7-1/8 in height) plus enough room for ducting and electrical connections. Make sure the framing/joists allow for this.

Q: Is the fan safe to use in wet areas like a shower or over a bathtub?

Yes, for ceiling installations and fan-only models, if connected to a GFCI-protected circuit. The light version models are not UL listed for use over tubs/showers.

Q: What maintenance does this fan need?

Maintenance is simple. Just clean the grille occasionally, check that the duct is clear, and make sure the damper opens and closes properly. Since the fan has a durable motor and design, keeping it in good shape is easy.

Q: Can I wire this fan to a plug and use it with an outlet?

This model is designed for hard-wired installation and doesn’t come with a plug for outlet use. If you’d like guidance on the best setup for your space, our team is happy to help.

Description

OVERVIEW

The Broan-NuTone EVOLVE Premium exhaust fan sets a new standard in bathroom ventilation. With selectable CFM and advanced motor technology, it's the only fan on the market that guarantees consistent airflow, even in complex duct setups—helping to reduce callbacks. Its slide-and-lock installation makes setup fast and simple, cutting install time by over 30%.

Designed with a universal modular housing, the EVOLVE series makes it easy to meet code requirements and upgrade features without stocking multiple models.

Key Features:

TRUECFM™ Technology: Delivers consistent airflow (50-80-110 CFM) even with complex ductwork.
Ultra-Quiet Operation: Near-silent performance at <0.3–0.6 sones.
Fast Installation: Snap-in housing and slide-and-lock blower cuts install time by up to 30%.
CleanCover™ Grille: Seamless, modern design that blends into the ceiling.
SlideClip™ Grille: Tool-free grille removal for quick maintenance.
Code Compliance: Supports continuous operation to meet ENERGY STAR®, ASHRAE 62.2, and LEED ventilation standards.

Warranty Information

The Broan® Bathroom Exhaust Fan is backed by Broan-NuTone’s Limited Warranty, which guarantees the product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of original purchase. During this period, Broan-NuTone will, at its option, repair or replace the product or any defective component without charge, excluding the cost of removal, reinstallation, and transportation. This warranty applies only to the original consumer purchaser and the original installation location

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, cosmetic damage, light bulbs, filters, fuses, ducts, or accessories sold separately, nor does it cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, abuse, accidents, lack of maintenance, or acts of nature. Products with altered, defaced, or missing serial numbers are excluded. This warranty provides specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary by state or province.

Built for Longevity

The Evolve Premium series is far more than just stylish; it uses proven materials and thoughtful engineering to address the common causes of early exhaust fan failure: moisture corrosion, motor strain, inefficient ductwork, and difficult access for cleaning or service. The galvanized steel box protects structural integrity; polymeric grille resists rust and warping; continuous-run motor with TRUECFM keeps operational stress low; and the easy-install, modular components make upkeep manageable.

If you're expecting the fan to endure humid conditions, frequent operation, or tight installations where maintenance is tough, the Evolve Premium is designed to perform well over many years.
