It's about as inefficient as it gets. Spot heating solves that problem. No longer will you heat an entire home when you simply need a bit of comfort in the bath or dressing room, or any other room.Efficient Heating ElementEven the most efficient central heating systems send heat up the chimney. But Broan spot heaters deliver every bit of energy back into your home. There's no external venting, so the electricity you convert to heat is delivered directly where you want it. Simple, Safe, and Efficient.Permanently lubricated motors are quiet and require no maintenance. They can be operated by a built-in adjustable thermostat or an optional wall-mount controller. Heaters may be converted in the field to a choice of wattages/voltages. And for safety, heaters are thermal overload protected and the complete heater assembly conveniently removes from the housing for cleaning.About Broan-NuToneIn 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation.

Review: Installed by husband and son in an hour! - It's not that loud! Works great! It gives off heat but doesn't feel like it's 90 degrees in the bathroom!
Review: Love it - I always liked the heat lamps in hotel bathrooms, so I thought I would try one in my house. I love this thing, it makes the bathroom far more comfortable on cold mornings. The fan seems to work well and is not very loud. I installed a timer switch with my heat lamp for safety's sake. You will need to spend some time in your attic to install this, which can be pretty awful on a hot day, especially if you have fiberglass blown insulation in your attic. Some basic knowledge of electrical will be necessary to safely install this. I was able to install mine without hiring an electrician or HVAC worker, but it would have been a lot easier if I had just paid someone else to work in my miserable attic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an old nutone 9417d that died... is this an exact replacement?**
A: The housing dimensions are the same, but the internal parts are different.  You would still remove the old one and do a complete replacement.

**Q: What is the difference between this model and the 9417dn? my the light portion of my 9417dn died, so this would be a swap out.**
A: Don't know. But the most likely reason that the light 'died' is a thermal fuse in the neutral of the pigtail. It's a little tricky to replace, but probably easier than the whole fixture.

**Q: this fan has sone level at 4.0 on box, how can i lower it, can i insulate with approved liner?, on the inside, no glue just stick pins**
A: The sone rating is 4.0.  We only recommend the installation as shown in the instructions.  You may want to contact our Technical Support Department at 888-336-6151.

**Q: Dear broan, why is the fan dependant on the bulb to operate?  never seen wiring like this before.  (no need to reply if you are not from broan)**
A: i HAVE INSTALLED  MAYBE A DOZEN OF THESE OVER THE YEARS.  You can have tle light controlled separately from the switch if you want and have the ability.  The thing is if you turn the light on and the unit gets hot, the fan will turn on by itself.   The last one I installed, I have the light and thw switch on the same circuit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement for older model
*by T***S on July 13, 2024*

We replaced an older heater extractor fan. I’ve included pictures of what the previous model looks like. Our ceiling has tile (previous owner) and so getting a bigger fan was going to require us to make a bigger hole in the ceiling and create a big mess. Because of the ceiling situation we decided to go with this models that would be a perfect fit. We purchased an open box and it was extremely reasonably priced ($30) and came with all the needed screws and materials. Just a friendly reminder to make sure you have a heated bulb for this and that you have electrician tape to make sure you are sealing Edges in the ducks. Also, we did not have attic access if that’s helpful. We were able to install it from inside the home.
