Best Bathroom Ceiling Exhaust Fan (quiet/Home Depot?)?
Oct 20, 2007 by cherry-o | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best bathroom exhaust fan? I have a Home Depot close to home and would like to find it there or at Loews. Looking for something nice looking and quiet, but powerful. Going to be installed in the ceiling and probably out through the attic ridge vent? Not through the wall.
Thank you
Quietness is described in "sones". Look on the unit or box and find the one with the lowest number of sones. Panasonic makes exhaust fans with a "1" sone rating. CFM's is the speed and power of the fan.

What brand or current model of over-the-range microwave can you recommend based on powerful exhaust fan but not very noisy?
Thanks.

What kind of bathroom exhaust fan should I get?
Nov 02, 2007 by nc | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I currently have some "builder's grade" Broan exhaust fans in my bathroom. Over the last 5 years or so they have gotten REALLY noisy. It looks like it would be a huge pain in the butt to clean them -- the vacuum cleaner nozzle doesn't fit to clean it.
Anyway, Broan sells a kit to swap out the noisy fan (& motor). Are these worth it? And what do I need to look out for in terms of them fitting my existing fan housing? Also, I'm up for any other suggestions regarding quieting these fans. . .
Thanks!
Yes, buy the Broan kit. They are worth the money and for the ease of installation.

My exhaust fan motor sounds almost burned out as it sounds very quiet instead of noisy as usual how do I know?
Jun 13, 2006 by Isis | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
How do I know if all it requires is cleaning and how do I clean it? Can I clean and oil it myself? With what? TY for your help ☺ PS It is not doing it's job and was last serviced a few years ago. It's about 15 years old.
This is the exhaust fan in the laundry room that services the two bathrooms and the laundry room and removes moisture from the air.
Hi, thanks for answering my question. It has blades attached to the motor-I saw it a few years ago when the dryer and appliance guy last cleaned it. It doesn't smell like it was burning -there's no smell at all-there never was. I don't know why I used that term-sorry. But anyway it was working well and one night I fell asleep and left it on all night and it went silent. After not using it for about six weeks there is a very faint sound if you listen very carefully and the house is silent. I'm a woman-and I don't know about these things. The reason I thought I could do it myself is because the repair guy told me to oil it every year or it would burn out and I didn't because I didn't know how to take it out or where to oil it or with what. I mean-should I use wd 40 or cooking oil? I bet you're laughing at me right now ...lol Any help would be most appreciated even if it's to advise me to have it looked at professionally. :-) thanks again,
Smell the motor...if it is starting to burn out...you will be able to smell it.........it really will smell burned....most electric motors require no oil...if it has lasted 15 years then I would look into getting a new one.....as for cleaning it...if you have a air compressor just blow off the dust or use a can of compressed air....a build up of dust on the motor will make it run hot....Is it a belt driven fan of direct drive fan...?.....in other words is the fan fins connect directly to the motor or is it connected by pullies and a belt....? you will need to know this if you plan to change out the motor....Usually it is cheaper to replace the unit and easier then just the motor

Loud Exhaust Fan in Bathroom?
Dec 20, 2007 by CR | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
The exhaust fans in two of my bathrooms are really loud, you can when they are turned on they can be heard all over the house, upstairs or in the basement. One bathroom is on first floor and the other on the second. They sound like a plane thats about to take off. Is there anything that can be done to quiet the sound with out having to install a new unit? I was thinking maybe that the reason for the noice is there might be something loose with the unit??
why don't you try oiling all the parts if that doesn't work i think its the motors you will probebly have to replace them all.but try the iol first.

8 Energy Saving Tips
LifeGoesStrong - Feb 07, 2012
Use your bath, kitchen, and other exhaust fans sparingly. While in use, these fans blow out heated air and bring in cold outdoor air. Leaving a single exhaust fan on can remove a houseful of heat in as little as two hours. (This was quite an eye opener
