Panasonic FV-30VQ3 WhisperCeiling 290 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan

Panasonic FV30VQ3 Ceiling Fan

I installed two of these fans near the peak of a cathedral ceiling in a new "sunroom", to exhaust hot air on summer days. See Customer Images of the roughed-in installation. Each fan is on a timer, so one or both fans can be used. A third fan was installed in a new storage room also used for painting and chemical cleaning.

The only issue - the fan frame's actual height is 9 3/8", while the 2x10's in that storage room ceiling are only 9 1/4", so some shimming was necessary. Other than that, they are pretty easy to install in NEW construction. To install in existing construction would be significantly more difficult, as you would have to get a switched 14/2 NM cable to the fan's junction box AND connect the fan's 6" steel output pipe to a 6" duct that exhausts the air to the outside.

I purchased this fan for a basement finishing project, installed it in my music practice room for smoke extraction. It is very quiet considering the amount of CFM's its moving! It installed easily between floor joists and the fit and finish is great!Couldn't be happier with it at this point!

We were looking for a powerful yet quiet bathroom fan to efficiently move steam from when we take a shower. This fan does the trick at 290 cfm (about three times the average home depot fan). Highly recommended.
