WhisperSense® DC Featured Video

The Power of Performance with Exclusive Smart Sensing Technology

The WhisperSense® DC fan is a precision spot ventilation fan that features built-in dual sensor technology (motion & moisture) that provides built-in redundancy for the ultimate in automatic moisture and odor control. The WhisperSense DC fan improves indoor air quality by effectively removing moist, polluted air from any room. A powerful, yet efficient ECM Motor with SmartFlow™ technology ensures optimum CFM output, regardless of a long or difficult duct run.

ECM Motor with SmartFlow™ Technology

The WhisperSense® DC fan is designed to perform as rated. When the fan senses static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure optimal CFM output.

Pick-A-Flow® Speed Technology

Built-in Pick-A-Flow® speed selector provides the unique ability to select your required airflow (50-80-110 CFM) with the simple flip of a switch.

Dual Sensor Technology – Motion and Moisture

Three ways the fan can function:

  • Motion on/Motion off
  • Motion on/Humidity off
  • Humidity on/Humidity off

Variable humidity controls from 30-80% Relative Humidity (RH)
Adjustable delay timer from 30 seconds to 60 minutes

Long Life Means Reduced Costs

Whether you are running a household or a business, you should not have to replace little things like a vent fan. Panasonic fans use less energy, move larger volumes of air and run cooler, which means they last longer. Our motors are equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse, greatly reducing the likelihood of overheating and motor failure.

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. The WhisperSense DC fan incorporates an integrated dual 4 in. or 6 in. duct adapter to give you flexibility in duct layout and design.

ENERGY STAR®- Certified for Energy Savings

Panasonic ventilation fans are ENERGY STAR® certified, where guidelines exist. They have 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.

The WhisperSense® DC fan was awarded the 2018 Most Efficient honor. This mark recognizes the 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.
