Newark, N.J. — Aug. 11, 2015 — Panasonic Eco Solutions of North America introduces WhisperFit EZ, the fastest and easiest-to-install ENERGY STAR retrofit ventilation fan available.
WhisperFit EZ is the ideal retrofit solution for remodelers looking to quickly and easily replace an existing fan from below the ceiling. It enables users to use the existing duct, while its low-profile housing design ensures a proper fit in virtually any ceiling.
Installation is made simple with the Flex-Z Fast installation bracket with articulating joints for simple positioning through a ceiling cavity. The detachable installation adapter provides even greater flexibility when wiring and attaching the duct.
Available in three models — non-lighted, lighted, and non-lighted with motion sensor — the WhisperFit EZ offers ultra-quiet performance and best-in-class ease of installation. Each model includes a built-in Pick-A-Flow speed selector that provides the unique ability to customize the airflow to meet the customer's required ventilation needs (80 or 110 CFM) with the simple flip of a switch.
The low-profile (5-5/8 inch) housing design easily fits in 2x6 construction, ensuring that WhisperFit EZ will fit in virtually any remodeling project.
WhisperFit EZ fan model FV-08-11VFM5 incorporates a SmartAction motion sensor with a 20-minute delay off timer that automatically activates the fan when someone enters the room. Once the settings have been applied, the fan becomes truly automatic, making it ideal for families with young children, people with disabilities, hospitality, as well as assisted-living environments such as nursing homes and retirement communities.
In addition to easy installation and quiet operation, the WhisperFit EZ lighted model features a flush-mount grille with two 13W self-ballasted GU24 base CFL lamps, and comes with a 4-inch duct with 3-inch adapter.
The WhisperFit models can be used to comply with ENERGY STAR 3.0, ASHRAE 62.2, LEED, IAP, California Title 24, and WA Ventilation Code.
