Recently moved into a new house with this older fam model that was only semi-functional. My husband self installed this replacement and it was easy to install and worked perfectly!!

Good replacement
Bought this to replace a similar light/fan fixture. It fit perfectly into the existing hole. I had measured it beforehand so I was pretty sure it would. By the way there are some good You Tube videos on how to remove an old one and install a new one that are worth watching before you undertake this type of project. Also be sure to turn off the circuit breaker before you start. The wiring diagram matched what my old one was so that was perfect. My only 2 small issues were 1) the wiring box is on the same side of the box as the exhaust connection. On my old one they were on opposite sides which would have been easier for me in this case, but I managed and 2) the mounting bracket ends were smaller than the old ones and more difficult to attach to the joists above. Again, I managed. The unit isnât super quiet – 4 sones- but I think itâs about the same as are old one. So all in all a good replacement and everything worked after install.

Love it
I always liked the heat lamps in hotel bathrooms, so I thought I would try one in my house. I love this thing, it makes the bathroom far more comfortable on cold mornings. The fan seems to work well and is not very loud. I installed a timer switch with my heat lamp for safety’s sake. You will need to spend some time in your attic to install this, which can be pretty awful on a hot day, especially if you have fiberglass blown insulation in your attic. Some basic knowledge of electrical will be necessary to safely install this. I was able to install mine without hiring an electrician or HVAC worker, but it would have been a lot easier if I had just paid someone else to work in my miserable attic.

Used to upgrade old 162
My old Broan 162 fan was making a lot of noise, so I explored replacements for the motor/fan assembly. However, I wanted to replace the white cover too, and it turned out it was cheaper to buy this whole new fan/light and scavenge it for the two parts I needed. Easy to do, just swapped them out and into the old housing and it now works like new. I did need to clean 30+ years of dust out of the old housing, but didn’t have to get into the attic to replace the whole unit.

Doesn’t meet my need
Perhaps my fault for not understanding type of heat. Bought for guest bath in new house, intended to heat room prior to shower. Doesn’t provide much heat unless standing directly below (perhaps that’s the purpose). Also, temp sensor shuts down too readily which seems contrary to purpose of unit. Perhaps better design would direct heat into room, rather than allow heat to rise to sensor.

stopped working after an hour
after I had installed the fan /heater it stopped working! it was strange because I had a switch add a separate power source for both. So, trouble shooting was necessary. I found the common white wire has a fuse in the line feeding both. the fuse blow and is not replaceable. It only run for 5 minutes as a test; I think its defective. So, I cut it out. they do not sell a replacement. I could not see any use for it. What is nice is the unit has a heat limit switch that if the encloser gets to hot and your fan is not running it will automatically cycle the fan to cool down for a minute.This is a very nice exhaust fan with a heat lamp, the lamp put out a fair amount of heat if you’re close. It has a large 4″ vent pipe. I wired the fan with separate power source to the lamp and the fan with its own controller. I will buy another when I change my other bathroom over it is a good product. 5 stars

Great replacement for older model
We replaced an older heater extractor fan. Iâve included pictures of what the previous model looks like. Our ceiling has tile (previous owner) and so getting a bigger fan was going to require us to make a bigger hole in the ceiling and create a big mess. Because of the ceiling situation we decided to go with this models that would be a perfect fit. We purchased an open box and it was extremely reasonably priced ($30) and came with all the needed screws and materials.Just a friendly reminder to make sure you have a heated bulb for this and that you have electrician tape to make sure you are sealing Edges in the ducks. Also, we did not have attic access if thatâs helpful. We were able to install it from inside the home.

This works as described. Not as noisy as I thought once installed. I live in Sask Canada where it gets to -40 in the winter, I have installed three back drafts to stop the cold air from coming in (all in nylon so they donot freeze or get brittle. The fan is powerful enough to keep them open when in use. (tested at -56 in 2014). Love having the light in the center where I installed an inferred bulb as this is in as shower.

This was very quick to arrive. We were replacing an old one of the same brand. Very easy to install no issues. I think it’s even quieter then the last one we had!

Installed the fan/light/heat lamp over 2 years ago and it still works like a charm. This is a must have for all bathrooms. Not only does it ventilate the humidity out when taking hot showers/baths, it lights up the room and keeps you warm when you come out during not so warm weather so you don’t have to turn on your heater. Installation was easy. Just need an opening big enough to house the unit and it sits in place with springs if I remember correctly. I chose to use a transparent heat lamp bulb vs the traditional red heat lamp bulb, which I think is easier on the eyes, no need to transition from dim red lighting back to normal lighting. Only comment is that the fan is a bit noisy. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
