Description

The Broan® Flex Series Ventilation Fan with CleanCover™ grille offers efficient air clearance with a sleek, low-profile design, suitable for rooms up to 75 sq. ft.

FAQ's

Customer Questions

How energy efficient are these Broan Flex Series Fans?

The fan is highly energy efficient. It uses a modern brushless DC motor and is ENERGY STAR certified, meaning it uses far less power than older or less efficient fans, especially when set to lower airflow speeds. This helps reduce energy costs while keeping your bathroom fresh.

Will this fan help with moisture?

Yes. With its selectable airflow and powerful ventilation, it can clear humidity quickly, which helps reduce fog, mold, mildew, and lingering odors. Using the right CFM setting helps ensure moisture is properly removed.

Can it be mounted on a wall instead of a ceiling?

Yes, some models can be wall-mounted if installed at least 8 ft above floor level. That provides more flexibility depending on your setup.

Do I need a special controller or switch for this fan?

No special controller is required. The fan works with a regular on/off wall switch, but you can also add optional accessories like a timer or humidity sensor if you want extra convenience.

Is it hard to install this fan, especially if I’m replacing an old one?

Not at all. Many models are designed for easy retrofit, so you can install them right from inside the bathroom, no attic access needed. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thanks.
