Built for Longevity

The Panasonic WhisperFit® DC Fan is designed with a focus on long-term durability and reliable performance for both retrofit and new construction projects. Its advanced ECM/DC motor operates at a lower temperature than conventional AC motors, reducing stress and extending its lifespan while providing superior speed control and energy efficiency. The low-profile, reinforced housing is only 5 5⁄8 inches deep, making it ideal for 2×6 or larger joist spaces and minimizing heat buildup. A solid plastic duct collar with back-draft damper and slide-and-snap junction box ensures a secure, air-tight fit that reduces air leakage and protects wiring from moisture-related wear.

Its compliance with ASHRAE 62.2, LEED, Energy Star, and California Title 24 standards reflects Panasonic’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and durability, making WhisperFit® DC Fans a dependable choice for lasting indoor air quality.

Customer Questions
What kind of duct adapter and backdraft damper does it include?
It includes a plastic 4-inch adapter with a built-in shutter/backdraft damper; a 3-inch reducer is also provided.
How energy efficient is this bathroom fan?
It’s very efficient. The fan utilizes an advanced ECM (DC) motor with SmartFlow technology, which automatically adjusts to deliver the optimal airflow while minimizing energy consumption. It’s also “True Flow” rated, meaning it performs reliably even in real-world installation conditions.
Do I need special controls or switches for your WhisperFit fan?
No special switch is needed. You can use a regular on/off wall switch or a multi-function switch if you’d like more control. There’s no proprietary controller required.
Do I need to build a box or barrier around this fan to keep it away from attic insulation?
No, you don’t. This fan is safe to be covered with insulation and will still work properly without any performance issues. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thanks.
Can I install this fan on a sloped ceiling?
Yes, you can. While it’s often placed on flat ceilings, the fan is designed to work on angled ceilings too—just make sure it’s properly supported and vented during installation.
