Features & Benefits

Performance and efficiency perfected with precision spot ventilation fan

WhisperCeiling DC SmartFlow™ fans come from a line of time-tested and customer-approved quiet yet powerful and energy-efficient ventilation fans. This precision spot ventilation solution improves IAQ by effectively removing moist, polluted air from your bathroom, laundry room, sun room, basement or garage.

ECM motor with SmartFlow™ technology

WhisperCeiling® DC™ is designed to perform as rated. When the fan senses static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure optimal CFM output. This feature provides peace of mind, as the installer doesn’t have to worry about compromising the fan’s performance, even with a complicated duct run.

Pick-A-Flow® Speed Technology

Built-in Pick-A-Flow® speed selector provides the unique ability to select your required airflow (110-130-150 CFM) with the flip of a switch.

Long life and lower operating costs

When you have a household or business to run, you do not want to have to replace little things like a vent fan. Panasonic fans use less energy to move larger volumes of air than other brands. Consequently, Panasonic fans run cooler so they last longer. They are also much less likely to overheat and result in motor failure. The motor is also equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse.

Installation flexibility

The Flex-Z Fast™ installation bracket with articulating joints is ideal for positioning the fan exactly where you want it, in old or new construction. An integrated dual 4" or 6" duct adapter gives greater flexibility in duct layout and design.

ENERGY STAR® certified for energy savings

Panasonic ventilation fans are ENERGY STAR certified, where guidelines exist. They've been engineered to comply with the ENERGY STAR® 4.0 requirement for increased efficiency (CFM/Watt), ensuring low cost, energy efficient operation. ENERGY STAR® vent fans meet strict parameters set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They provide better efficiency and comfort with less noise, and feature high performance motors and improved blade design, providing better performance and longer life.

WhisperCeiling® DC fans with Smartflow™ technology were awarded 2021 Most Efficient. This mark recognizes this fan as delivering cutting-edge, energy- efficiency along with the latest in technological innovation. It is an award that represents the best of those products that qualify for ENERGY STAR®.
