Broan Range Hoods

Range hoods are a vital component to any kitchen. Without proper ventilation, grease and mold can build up over time. Broan builds some of the industry's most reliable and efficient range hoods. Determining which type of range hood installation is right for your home is easy. For stoves with cabinets overhead, look to Broan's under cabinet range hoods, range hood inserts, or ductless range hoods. Range hood inserts install into the kitchen cabinets or a custom range hood cover and are a great solution for concealing the kitchen vent underneath your cabinets. For spaces without cabinets, consider a wall mounted range hood, which utilizes an exposed venting system. Lastly, island range hoods are designed for kitchens with an island cook top and offer a great modern look.

Broan Air Purifiers and Fans

Broan offers a large selection of indoor air quality products. Air purifiers remove many air pollutants such as dust, biological contaminants (bacteria, molds, pollen, etc.), and gaseous pollutants (smoke, chemicals, exhaust fumes, etc.) while reducing air humidity. High-Efficiency-Particulate-Air, or HEPA, is a type of filtration system commonly used. To qualify as HEPA, the air filter must remove 99.97% of all particles greater than .3 micrometers in size, in accordance with government standards. Broan's HEPA air purifiers are easy to install and designed for a home up to 6000 sq. ft. (depending on the unit). Heat recovery ventilation, or balanced IAQ systems, provide similar results as the HEPA units, except they save energy by reducing heating and cooling requirements.

Bathroom fans are a very important ventilation system for any home. Bathrooms are the most likely space where mold and mildew will grow due to their inherently moist environment. Windows and open vents aren't always enough to prevent moisture buildup. Broan's bathroom fans offer superior ventilation with a variety of additional options. For instance, Broan bath fans with heaters provide a heating option while venting any unwanted steam. Similarly, bath fans with integrated lights are great for spaces where an overhead ceiling light is needed.

Attic ventilation is definitely an underrated function for most homes. In the summertime, attic temperatures can reach upwards of 150 degrees, or more. This can strain any cooling system and force it to work harder. Broan's attic fan solutions remove heat accumulated in the attic by venting the trapped air outside, keeping your attic temperatures around 60 degrees cooler. This difference in temperature means your indoor thermostat will get a more accurate temperature reading, and reduce your A/C's running costs.

Broan offers a few different types of attic fans. Roof mounted attic fans are installed on top of the roof and require removing your shingles to cut a hole in your roof to install. Gable mounted attic fans are usually installed on the side of your home. A gable is generally the triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. This means you don't need to risk modifying your roof, but you will need to cut a hole in your wall to install. Broan also offers solar attic fan options. These are self powered, and saves you additional money on energy bills.

"We purchased the Broan 174 Wall Heater to replace an older model that was at least 20 years old and had worked well, but since we were remodeling the bathroom we wanted a newer heater. The new Broan 174 was easy to install and works like a dream. We are very happy with it and would highly recommend this product. It looks great too."
