My exhaust fan is louder than normal?
This is probably attributed to one of the following:
1. The motor is loose - turn off power to the unit, remove the grill and check that all screws are fully tightend around the motor.
2. The fan blade is hitting the housing of the unit - turn off power to the unit, remove the grill and check that the blade is fully inserted on the motor shaft.

Will a ceiling fan or wall-mount utility fan serve as a range hood?
No. Range hoods are specifically designed to handle grease and high temperature
environments. Ventilation provided by NuTone or Panasonic fans are only a supplement
for odor and moisture removal in the kitchen.

What is the best way to duct my exhaust fan?
To maximize your exhaust fan's performance, match your duct size to the original size of the fan’s ducting (do not use a reducer), use the shortest amount of ducting possible, keep the ducting as straight as possible, and if flexible ducting is used, keep it as stretched out as possible to limit the resistance of air flow.

When the exhaust fan ventilates air out of the room, the amount of air ventilated needs to be replaced, this is called make-up air. If there is not enough make up air, the exhaust fan's performance will be diminished. Typically make up air for bathroom exhaust fan's is accomplished by a gap cut at the bottom of the door entering into the bathroom.

Where is the best location to install my bathroom exhaust fan?
Typicaly a bathroom exhaust fan should be mounted as close to or inside (if rated for tub shower use) to the shower or tub as possible. This will maximize the effectivness of the unit. Units located in a powder room, should be directly over the toilet.
