Broan-NuTone 744 Ventilation Fan for Homes, 70 CFM, 1.5 Sones, White

Product Description

Ensure your home maintains a comfortable atmosphere with adequate ventilation by choosing the Broan Recessed Fan and Light. This innovative device ingeniously combines the functionality of a robust ventilation unit with the aesthetic appeal of a recessed light fixture. It seamlessly integrates into your ceiling, offering a solution that not only enhances comfort but also complements your home’s decor.

For larger spaces, multiple units can be strategically placed to enhance airflow. Designed with a 4-inch ducting system, it is ideal for new constructions and comes with hanger bars that simplify installation. The centrifugal fan delivers an impressive air movement of 70 CFM while operating quietly. It utilizes a 75-watt incandescent light bulb, making it a versatile choice for various locations, particularly above bathtubs and showers when connected to a GFCI protected circuit. However, it is important to note that this unit is not suitable for cooking areas.

The Broan 744 recessed fan/light is particularly well-suited for bathrooms, but its applications extend to utility rooms, kitchens, and busy family rooms, all of which benefit from improved air quality. With a high-efficiency fan that operates at a quiet 1.5 sone noise level, you can enjoy fresh, comfortable air without intrusive sounds. Designed to blend seamlessly with your ceiling, the Broan 744 matches the trim of major recessed light manufacturers, guaranteeing a cohesive look throughout your home.

In terms of functionality, this fan/light fixture accommodates R30 or BR30 bulbs for average installations and can use PAR30L or PAR30LN bulbs in wet areas, such as above showers and bathtubs. Its efficient design includes 4-inch ducting compatible with both new constructions and retrofits, allowing for a hassle-free installation experience. You can also upgrade the operation with various Broan wall control models, which are sold separately, enhancing your convenience further.

Proper ventilation is crucial in modern homes as they are built to be more energy-efficient, minimizing heating and cooling costs. Effective ventilation helps maintain a safe living environment by continuously removing indoor contaminants. By eliminating excess moisture, the Broan fan helps prevent issues like mold and mildew growth.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from materials like plywood, carpet, and paint can pose health risks, while allergens and dust accumulate over time. A good ventilation system is essential for mitigating these risks and ensuring a healthier indoor atmosphere.

When considering the performance of ventilation, the measure of sound comfort, known as sone, is crucial. A lower sone value indicates a more comfortable acoustic environment. For context, a sound at one sone level is akin to a quiet refrigerator.

Air movement is quantified in cubic feet per minute (CFM). To determine the appropriate CFM for your space, calculate the volume of the room by multiplying its length, width, and height. Then, apply a multiplication factor of 0.13 and round up. For example, a room of 7' x 9' x 8' would need a fan with at least 70 CFM for optimal humidity control.

The Broan product line encompasses a variety of ventilation solutions, including range hoods, indoor air quality systems, and combination units, thus ensuring that each home maintains an optimal living environment.
