Clearing The Air About Popular Home Improvements (NAPSA)—When homeowners upgrade or renovate, they are likely to request home features that improve their quality of life and save them money. ENERGY STAR qualified ventilation fans are increasingly popular features with homeowners who want to improve the indoor air quality in their homes. Thelatest ENERGY STAR qualified models from Broan-NuTone are ultrasilent and sense humidity or combine a recessed light and fan in one unit. Ventilation fans are a small addition that can makea big difference in keeping a room healthier, more comfortable and pleasant. New designs are aesthetically pleasing and easy to include in any design scheme. For example, the Recessed Fan/Light blends in seamlessly with a series of recessed lights in any room of the home that would benefit from exhausting humidity and odors. One model features a fluorescent 14-watt light bulb and creates less than half the sound of a traditional ventilation fan. The fan/lights are certified for use over bathtubs and showers with a GFCI-protected circuit and are easy to install. Ultra Silent” Humidity Sensing ventilation fans incorporate Sensaire™ technology, which detects a rapid rise in humidity at the ceiling, where it is most prevalent, unlike humidistats, which only detect simple humidity. This feature makes the fans moreeffective at protecting bathrooms from mold and mildew. Ultra Silent™ fan/lights blend in with any dcor and are an energy-efficient solution for ven- tilating humidity and odors from any room in the house. The humidity sensing fans are automatic—once there is a rapid rise in humidity within the room, the fan will automatically turn on to exhaust excess moisture and turn off once the job is done. The automatic feature can be adjusted, allowing the fan to run from 5 to 60 minutes. For those wholike their fans silent, the Ultra Silent” QTXE line is the quietest on the market. Inconspicuously blending into the ceiling, these fans exhaust well without drawing attention.
