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.
Even the most efficient central heating systems send heat up the chimney. 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.
Permanently lubricated motors are quiet and require no maintenance. They can be operated by a built-in adjustable thermostat or wall-mount controller. For safety, heaters are thermal overload protected and the complete heater assembly removes from the housing for cleaning.

Very easy install with clear instructions, heat is based on the type of bulb you use.
fan drafts well and is quiet
What is nice is the unit has a heat limit switch that if the encloser gets to hot and your fan is not running it will automatically cycle the fan to cool down for a minute.
This is a very nice exhaust fan with a heat lamp, the lamp put out a fair amount of heat if you're close. It has a large 4" vent pipe. I wired the fan with separate power source to the lamp and the fan with its own controller. I will buy another when I change my other bathroom over it is a good product. 5 stars
The only problem I found with the unit was the vent connection is not tapered so it was a challenge to insert it into an existing vent pipe. I ended up breaking the fragile plastic damper hinge. Since it did not affect the function, I just removed it.
Items needed: plastic sheets, sheet rock saw, foam board or cardboard, sheet rock repair compound, putty knife, socket set, sheet rock screws, optional drill to mount new fan, external light source since you will need to turn off the power to the bathroom.
Steps for installation:
** Turn off the power to the fixture at the fuse box and mark the switch to make sure no one turns it back on while work is in progress ***
1. Create a dust chamber around the fan with plastic to minimize sheet rock dust.
2. Cut a 16" square hole around the existing fan making sure you cut half way into the existing mounting studs. A small circular saw helps but it can be done with a hand saw or even a regular circular saw if you're careful.The fan mounts on rails attached to studs 16" apart. The rails run along the mounting screws on two sides.
3. Remove old fan and replace. I chose to screw in the new rails instead of nailing them to minimize vibration and insure a tight mount. The vertical alignment is not critical since it can be adjusted.
4. Wire the fan and test. I also duct taped the vent connection.
5. To repair the sheet rock, create a template with a piece of foam board or cardboard. Smear toothpaste on the fan vent box so the size can be transferred to the template when pressed. Transfer the template to a piece of sheet rock. It's better to error on the side of making the replacement too big. You can always shave it with a razor to fine tune.
6. Mount the sheet rock piece by screwing it into the studs. This is why it's important to cut the hole 1/2 way into the existing mounting studs. Adjust the height of the fan to minimize gaps between the sheet rock and fan housing.
7. Apply repair compound, sand, and repaint. If your ceiling is textured, do your best to match the texture. Do not use the shower until 24 hours after painting.
