Panasonic FV-11VH2 Whisper Warm 110 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan, Heat Combination, White/Cream (Tools & Home Improvement)

Was going to go with one of the other Panasonics that had a higher CFM rating but then I stumbled across this one with the heater built in. I'm glad I did, and am happy I spent the extra 50 bucks.I did the install and electrical work myself. If you've never done much electrical you should really pay a professional. The junction box, as stated in other reviews, is very cramped in the corner of the unit. If you ran 14ga wire it would be easier to stuff the wires in there but you're really getting close to the limit with a 15amp circuit due to the heater. Remember circuits should only have an 80% continuous load, with 15a that's 1440 watts. With everything running on this bad boy you're drawing 1495 watts. Something like this really should be run on 12ga/20a. I made all the connections up in the attic with the unit upside down and with the switch leads extended through the knockouts farther than their final position. BTW I used metal screw type cable clamps and its not that...Read more if (typeof amznJQ != "undefined") { amznJQ.onReady('jQuery', function() { amznJQ.available('popover', function() { var widgetDom = jQuery("#R168THZQVR6SBW_imageSection_5C8C7B14-A22E-11E7-AE93-F040A37562A0"); var images = widgetDom.find(".review-image-thumbnail"); for (var c=0;c

   I've personally installed four of these now--two for a friend and two for my house--so I feel somewhat qualified to give you a review.I could just cut to the chase and say they are exceptional. Once you handle and see this Panasonic unit everything else--Nutone, Broan--will look and sound like junk. The fan is amazingly quiet, as is the heater, and the light (if you get that model) is very bright. This works like a vent fan/heater should.Is it all roses and rainbows? No, unfortunately. First, as you've seen, they are expensive. Anywhere from 2x-3x more than a comparable model. Personally I think it is money very well spent, but it's money nonetheless. It's built like a tank which is good once it's installed, but going up is a chore. New construction would be a cakewalk, but if you are retrofitting/remodeling you need to eat a good breakfast before launching into this install.It's also large, so make sure you have room, particularly with floor joists...Read more
