Sensaire® technology detects rapid increases in moisture levels at the ceiling, where steam and humidity naturally rise. Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should. An automated solution to fight excess humidity and mold.Our humidity sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture. Hands-free operation.Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan Ultra SilentT is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive Sensaire® technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom.
It turns off automatically, and that saves money.Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy and money.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTRE100S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I am very pleased with this quiet fan with an automatic switch and a manual over-ride. It has a humidity sensor and automatically shuts off no longer than 20 minutes, or after the moist air is vacated. The sound is barely noticeable. A timer switch is not needed. This fan makes a huge difference compared to the original nutone fan. The $150 or so price is higher than a standard fan, but it is worth the money especially if you consider how long you will enjoy this appliance. Just do it.Richard Small12-10-09

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTRE100S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I received a home energy audit by our state and they recommended humidity sensing fans once we had taken their additional home tightening measures. Doing research, I found these online. Our local home improvement stores do not carry them. Our local electrical supply store was willing to order them for twice the price.

This unit was used to facilitate the removal of moisture during the use of the shower in a small bathroom. Before the installation the residual moisture was causing mold to grow in the corners of the room.
