Panasonic FV-0511VHL1 WhisperWarm DC Bathroom Fan with Light and Heater, 50-80-110 CFM

​Ventilation : Fonctionne très bien, bien qu'un peu bruyant. ​Éclairage : La lumière est vraiment très claire. ​Chauffage : ​Essai rapide lors de l'installation : La chaleur est très puissante, immédiatement ressentie et dirigée directement vers le bas. ​Appréciation : Un gros plus pour l'hiver (surtout au plafond de ma douche qui était très froide). ​Note : En raison de la période estivale, le chauffage n'a pas encore été testé sur une longue durée, mais la puissance semble largement suffisante pour réchauffer toute la salle de bain (en complément du chauffage existant).

Ever since installing a Panasonic FV-11VHL2 in our master bathroom a few years ago, I wanted one for our other bathroom, as well. This FV-0511VHL1 is the new and improved replacement for the older model which is no longer available. This unit can be used in new construction and is designed in such a way that it can be easily installed in existing construction, as well, even without attic access from above. The collapsible mounting bracket, the electrical connections and vent connection can all be done through the 10-7/8" X 16-5/8" ceiling opening, before sliding the unit into place. Unit measures 7-1/2" high so it will fit in a 2X8 ceiling joist cavity. Insulation can be placed in direct contact with the unit. Grill cover size is 13-1/4" X 18-1/4". Can be connected to 6" or 4" duct. Fan can be set to 50, 80, or 110 CFM. Requires a dedicated 20A circuit. Although Vent and Heater can be run at the same time, I like to wire mine so as to not allow that. I do that by running the feed first to the timer, then to the common of a three-way switch. That way the position of the three-way switch determines whether Heat, or Vent mode is used when starting the timer. Love the amount of heat put out by this unit! The perfect answer for a chilly bathroom! (A little expensive, but well worth it, IMHO)

Works well so far.

Be ready to enjoy your bath again. quiet and moves a ton of air. 2nd one in my home and adding a third for the other bath. You should run your fan for 20 minutes after a shower and this is so quiet that you may not notice it running, Best I have found

I was doing a total bathroom renovation. I had one of these put in by the toilet. The amount of heat surpasses the output of a 220 wall heater I had put in, and was now taking out. Note : you definitely need a dedicated 20 amp circuit for this unit. Note the wiring can tricky, you might have an electrician do this. So far , it’s been in about a month and with winter coming we’ll see how toasty warm we’ll be. Unit is very quiet. So far I think we have a winner🏖️
