Panasonic Ceiling Fan

Panasonic has designed a fan to meet the task of venting with the utmost in energy efficiency. The low sone (noise) level and low input wattage allow these fans to run continuously and quietly. This is not true of the standard  ceiling fan which typically runs at 3 to 4 sones (one sone is roughly equal to the sound of a new refrigerator)while using considerably more electricity. This means that a 80 CFM (cubic feet/minute) fan can be hard-wired to run day and night and use less energy than a 60 watt light bulb left on for 7 hrs.These fans are typically used as bathroom fans.  Because they are quiet, rated for continuous use and a low-energy user, the Airetrack or Tork controls (see our controls section) can be used to turn the Panasonic ceiling fan into more of a whole house fan.All fans come with a build in backdraft damper and white metal grill. The smaller standard depth ceiling fans, up to the 110 cfm, will not perform at their best if installed in a wall. The larger fans, along with the Whisperfit can be installed in either a wall or ceiling. All of the Panasonic fans can be used with a solid state speed control. All three models have the same dimensions and all can use either a 4″ or 6″ duct 10 1/4″ square opening x 7 2/5″ depth.  The grills are 13″ x 13″ FV05VQ fans run at 50CFM’s, and <.3 sones (a sone being the sound of a new refrigerator) FV08VQ fans run at 80CFM’s and <.3 sones FV11VQ fans run at 110CFM’s and <.3 sones   Quiet Operation at .25″ Water GaugeWhisperCeiling™ fans feature a totally enclosed condenser motor and a double-tapered, dolphin shaped bladed blower wheel to quietly move air. Since .1″ w.g. is an unrealistic amount of static pressure when installed, our fans have been rated at .25″ w.g., the industry standard for performance measurement for ASHRAE, ENERGY STAR®, LEED for Homes, and HVI. Panasonic leads the way with incomparable sone levels at both .1″ and .25″ w.g. Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many YearsThis fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model’s condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust. User-Friendly InstallationDetachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26″), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning. Energy Star® Qualified for Energy SavingsEnergy Star® qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star® program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star® partner, all our fans are Energy Star® qualified and labeled accordingly. Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.   Call for discount pricing
