It's about as inefficient as it gets. Spot heating solves that problem. No longer will you heat an entire home when you simply need a bit of comfort in the bath or dressing room, or any other room.Efficient Heating ElementEven the most efficient central heating systems send heat up the chimney. But Broan spot heaters deliver every bit of energy back into your home. There's no external venting, so the electricity you convert to heat is delivered directly where you want it. Simple, Safe, and Efficient.Permanently lubricated motors are quiet and require no maintenance. They can be operated by a built-in adjustable thermostat or an optional wall-mount controller. Heaters may be converted in the field to a choice of wattages/voltages. And for safety, heaters are thermal overload protected and the complete heater assembly conveniently removes from the housing for cleaning.About Broan-NuToneIn 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. Today, Broan-NuTone leads the industry with forward-thinking residential ventilation products, customized climate, communications and storage solutions and superior customer service.

  • Install is easy once you understand how
This is a 60's style restroom ceiling heater, and obviously the last one lasted about sixty years. I found I couldn't live without it once it finally failed. Needless to say, it is worth every penny. At the time, a ceiling junction box for the conduit system had 2 3/4" spacing between the connector bolts. If you aren't doing a retro install it should be even easier to install, the below instructions are for a sixties style junction box. In order to easily install, follow the following steps: 1. The 2 3/4" spacing can be found between slots on the product being reviewed. One of the short slots and the longer adjustable slot. 2. Purchase a "4 Inches Diameter Light Fixture Mounting Bracket" although you won't need the bracket, in fact it won't work, this is just a convenient way of getting the mounting bolts and electrical connectors you need, which are not included with the product. 3. Observe that there are several protrusions on the back of the product, some bolt terminations and a grommet, one bolt termination will fall outside of the 2 3/4" circle. You will need to knock out a small amount of plaster from where that blot termination is in order to get the final install to lie perfectly flat. 4. Start threading the mounting bolts into the ceiling box first. Connect and push the electrical wires into the junction box while you hang it up temporarily with the hook provided. Then it is a super easy matter to just slide the bolts into the correct slots. 5. You'll need a flashlight to see where the screws need to be tightened because you have to work around the small fan blades. You are already done! 6. It will be slightly off center from where the previous one was, so have some touch up paint on hand. 7. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Terrible Warrantee
I purchased this ceiling fan in October of 2018 in advance of a bathroom / whole house remodel. It wasn't installed until December 2018 after all the painting and new tile work was completed. It worked for less than 45 MINUTES total running time after several showers and just quit. The first thing that I did was to check the switched power and found it to be O.K. I removed the ceiling fan and found that there was a complete open in the fan circuitry. I contacted Amazon to discover that because the fan was outside of their 30 day return policy I would have to contact the Broan Company for resolve. I contacted their Customer Service department at 1(888) 336-3948 and talked to the representative that more or less determined that the circuitry was bad and that they would send me a Thermo Coupler to install myself. Because I was unhappy with this answer, I asked to talk to the supervisor of the department, and was referred to a recording which instructed me to leave a message along with a telephone number which I did. It's been over a week and no response. My problem with all of this is that I supposedly purchased a brand new unit which quit working and now I am supposed to work on the circuitry for it to function properly. Not only that but the inconvenience to install the unit , remove the unit and now its sitting on the bench with no parts and I have no heat in the shower room. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CONSUMER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, this unit replaced a like unit that was in place for over 16 years and never had a problem. GOOD LUCK DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY. Also, getting in touch with Amazon is impossible. The only way I could make my problem heard was to right this review. I hope somebody with some AUTHORITY WILL READ IT. ... show more

  • This Broan-NuTone 157 fan-forced ceiling heater is exactly like the one we were replacing
This Broan-NuTone 157 fan-forced ceiling heater is exactly like the one we were replacing. We are very happy with this ceiling heater, it is working perfectly. It was easy to install since I had already removed the old ceiling heater twice. The instructions were not complete but the installation was very easy for me since I do this stuff all the time. If you have not replaced one of these fan-forced ceiling heaters I recommend you google how to do it and pick a video to watch someone else do it. It's not hard but just a few small tips can ensure this process goes smoothly. ... show more
