Broan® and NuTone® Named Brand Leaders in Bathroom Ventilation/Fans
Hartford, Wis.,
July 29,
2009 – Broan-NuTone®
is proud
to announce
that Broan® and NuTone® Ventilation Fans
were named
brand leaders
as a result
of the
2009 Brand
Use Study
surveying
over 10,800
builders,
builder-developers
and general
contractors, sponsored by Hanley Wood on behalf of BUILDER magazine.
“Broan-NuTone is pleased to be acknowledged as the industry
leader in
residential
ventilation,”
says Steve
Swenerton, senior VP
of marketing
and retail
sales, Broan-NuTone. “We develop, engineer and manufacture
forward-thinking residential ventilation and built-in products
that greatly improve the overall indoor environment. We are
pleased that the readers of BUILDER magazine
consider
our products
to be their
preferred
choices when
looking for
quality ventilation
solutions for the homes they build.”
One fact many readers may not have known is that all Broan
- ENERGY STAR® qualified ventilation fans are designed,
engineered and manufactured in the U.S. with U.S. and foreign
parts. In fact, more than 80 percent of American homes
have a Broan or NuTone fan installed – which means there
are more than 150 million Broan and NuTone fans installed
all across America. Purchasing and installing ventilation
fans from the brand leader ensures consumers are getting
a quality product as well as helping to support American
jobs.
As Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) remains a growing concern for
homeowners, ventilation fans are the best option for spot
ventilation of pollutants and moisture. For whole-house ventilation,
energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat recovery ventilators
(HRVs) are good solutions. As so many of Broan-NuTone products
satisfy USGBC, NAHB and ENERGY
STAR ventilation requirements for green building, builders
and homeowners can be confident that installing a Broan-NuTone
fan is a smart step toward creating a healthy home.
“Broan and NuTone ventilation fans are available in many
options – recessed fan/lights, decorative fan/lights, ENERGY
STAR qualified fans, Ultra Silent™ fans – the options are
endless,” says Patrick Nielsen, marketing manager, ventilation
fans, Broan-NuTone. “Additionally, we continuously monitor
consumer trends so builders, designers and homeowners never
have to look elsewhere to find a ventilation fan to meet
their needs.”
Dedicated to positively improving the indoor environment
while protecting and preserving the outdoor environment,
over 80 percent of Broan-NuTone products sold in the U.S.
are designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S. which
means the carbon footprint required to make products available
to homeowners is less than most competitors. Additionally,
homeowners will appreciate that ENERGY STAR qualified fans
from Broan and NuTone can use less than 10 kilowatt hours
per year – or about one dollar per year in electricity. For
