Match by Model Number
How to Find Your Model Number
To find the model number, remove the grille by pulling down two inches. Reach behind the grille and squeeze the mounting springs to remove. Find the model label located in the corner, closest to the outlet. Some fans have the model number stamped into the motor plate instead of a sticker.

Upgrade Grille/Covers
- Measure your bathroom's length, width, and height. For example, let's say your bathroom measures 10 feet wide by 6 feet long and has a ceiling height of 10 feet. Multiply these numbers together (6 x 10 x 10), and you get a total cubic footage 600.
- Divide the cubic footage of your bathroom by 60 minutes per hour to determine the CFM rating needed for one air exchange per hour. In our example, 600 cubic feet divided by 60 minutes per hour equals 10 CFM for one exchange. So far, so good!
- Considering the recommended eight air changes per hour, multiply the CFM per hour by eight. In our example, 10 CFM x 8 exchanges equal an 80 CFM rating. Voila! At the very least, your bath fan should be able to move 80 CFM to remove indoor air pollutants effectively.
Remember, you can always choose a fan with more CFMs than your room needs for extra oomph!
- Sizing Guidelines: Choose ducting size based on the capacity of your fan and the distance the air needs to travel. Too small ducting can restrict airflow, reducing the system's efficiency. Generally, larger ducts are better for minimizing air resistance and noise.
- Fan Capacity: Match the ducting size to the fan's capacity. Larger fans might require bigger ducts to accommodate the increased airflow.
- Duct Length and Turns: Longer duct runs, and multiple turns can increase air resistance. If your installation requires lengthy ducting, consider upsizing the duct to compensate for the potential loss of airflow.
- Noise Reduction: Properly sized ducting can help reduce noise generated by the exhaust fan. Using larger ducts and keeping the airflow velocity within recommended limits can contribute to quieter operation.

- LED Lighting: Energy-efficient and long-lasting, LED lighting is an excellent choice for exhaust ventilation systems. It provides bright illumination while consuming less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights.
- Warm vs. Cool Light: Decide on the color temperature of the lighting based on the ambiance you want to create. Warm light (around 2700K-3000K) is more cozy and inviting, while cool light (around 4000K-5000K) is more suited for tasks and productivity.
- Dimmable Options: Consider exhaust ventilation systems that offer dimmable lighting options. This allows you to adjust the brightness according to your needs and mood.
- Energy Efficiency: ENERGY STAR-rated fans are designed to consume less energy without compromising performance. This translates to lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact.
- Certified Performance: ENERGY STAR certification indicates that the fan has met strict efficiency and performance criteria set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can trust that the fan will deliver optimal ventilation while using less energy.
Environmental Impact: By choosing ENERGY STAR-rated products, you're contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. - Quality Assurance: ENERGY STAR certification ensures that the exhaust fan meets high standards of quality and performance. You can expect reliable and consistent operation.
- Incentives and Rebates: Depending on your location, you might be eligible for incentives, rebates, or tax benefits when you install ENERGY STAR-rated products. Check with local authorities or energy companies for potential savings.
