Broan 100HL Directionally-Adjustable Bath Fan with Heater and Incandescent Light

The Broan 100 series features ventilation fans with a directional heater and your choice of lighting. Directional heater brings warmth to where you need it (view larger).

You don’t need to heat the entire house to have a comfortable bathroom first thing in the morning. The Broan 100HL bath fan combines a high-output 1500-watt heater with a 100 CFM ventilation fan and 100-watt fluorescent lighting, warming your bathroom at the touch of a switch. Now you won’t have to wait for your central heating system to do what this Broan fan/heater can do instantly. And with its 360-degree directionally-adjustable heat outlet, you’re assured the heat will end up exactly where you need it.

Offering quiet operation, the 100HL produces just 2.0 sones of noise to ensure your bathroom remains peaceful. It requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit, fits in 2 x 6-inch ceiling construction, and is HVI certified. The bright incandescent lighting uses one 100-watt A19 lamp (not included) or an energy-efficient 27-watt GU24 fluorescent lamp (not included). Other features include 4-inch ducting for new construction or retrofit and hanger bars for easy installation.

You can control this fan’s operation through a choice of Broan wall control models (available separately):

65W, 65V, 66W, 66V, 67W, 67V, 685WL, 685VL, 62W, 62V

Why Spot Heating Makes Sense in Your Home

You hastily get ready every morning, head for work, the office, or school, just when the central heating system has finished warming the entire house. 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 Element

Even 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.

Considerations When Choosing a Home Ventilation System

Homes are now built much more efficiently than they once were, making them far less costly to heat and air condition. That said, having proper ventilation throughout the home is now imperative in order to provide a safe and comfortable living environment. Broan ventilation fans provide the best solutions to ensure that contaminants are constantly removed from the indoors.

Eliminating excess moisture keeps your home dry and comfortable and can help avoid mold and mildew. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) “outgas” from construction materials such as plywood, carpet, fabric, paint, adhesive, insulation, and other common items. Allergens, dust, cooking vapor, and what the kids bring home from school are more reasons why good ventilation is critical.

Sones measure the “sound level” of your fan

A sone is a measurement of sound in terms of comfortable hearing level for an average listener. The lower the sone value, the more comfortable the environment. Sones are not decibels or volume, but rather how sound is “sensed.” One sone is half as loud as two sones, and is equivalent to a quiet refrigerator.

Calculate the air movement necessary for proper ventilation

Air movement is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). To determine CFM requirements, first determine the size of your room. Measure and multiply the length, width and ceiling height of your room to determine cubic footage. Then use the multiplication factor of .13 and round up to the next “ten.” Here are three examples:

Example 1: Bathroom with 8′ ceiling: 7′ wide x 9′ long x 8′ high x .13 = 66. Select a bath fan with at least 70 CFM.

Example 2: Bathroom with 9′ ceiling: 10′ wide x 9′ long x 9′ high x .13 = 105. Select a bath fan with at least 110 CFM.

Example 3: For a bathroom with a vaulted ceiling, use the average ceiling height at the wall and the peak: 8′ wide x 12′ long x ((8′ at wall + 12′ at peak) / 2 = 10′) average height x .13 = 125. Select a fan (or fans) with at least 130 CFM.
