The ventilation fans available on SupplyHouse.com, whether in-line or ceiling mounted, will not make much noise. New technology has allowed Panasonic, Broan-NuTone, and Fantech to offer fans that operate much more quietly than those from older installations. Many of Panasonic’s WhisperGreen, WhisperLite, and WhisperCeiling models are rated at less than 0.3 sones.
Sone ratings, much like decibel ratings, measure the loudness of a sound. They do so in relation to the hearing of an average person. One sone equals approximately 40 decibels, and an increase of one sone indicates that sound levels have doubled.

Fan-Mounting Options
There are many possibilities for mounting bathroom ventilation fans. To replace an older unit the simplest solution may be a retrofit kit, available for most Broan and NuTone models. These kits include a new motor and grille, allowing users to improve operation while keeping their present ducting.
For new installations, ceiling fans generally go between ceiling joists. They are connected directly to venting ductwork. Inline fans can be mounted in an attic, and have the ability connect to grille housings in more than one bathroom. Wall-mount fans present another option. With the fan on an exterior wall, they connect to the grille housing located above the bathroom. SupplyHouse.com stocks bath fans from Fantech, Panasonic, and Broan-NuTone.

Dryer Need a Boost?
Does it seem like it takes forever for your clothes to dry? The solution may be easier than you think. With a Fantech Dryer Booster Exhaust Fan from SupplyHouse.com you can cut down on clothes drying times and slash your utility bills.
Dryer Booster Fans are perfect for homes with long runs between the dryer and final venting point. Depending on the number of bends in the ductwork, booster fans may be necessary for runs longer than 15 feet. Mounted in-line, the fans automatically turn on when the dryer operates. Fantech’s Dryer Booster Fans carry a 5-year warranty. They counter the resistance of long duct-runs to speed up the venting of warm, moist air produced by dryers. Accounting for bends and elbows, most of Fantech’s Dryer Boost products work with runs of up to 130 feet.
