Smart Features for a Healthier Environment

The motion and humidity sensors are a standout feature. Unlike other exhaust fans, these sensors can automatically adjust the fan's operation to maintain optimal air quality and low humidity levels, helping to prevent excess moisture that contributes to mold and mildew.

The fan operation offers two airflow settings—80 CFM and 110 CFM—ensuring that even large bathrooms are well-ventilated. Despite its powerful performance, the fan operates at a whisper-quiet 0.8 to 1.0 sone, meaning you'll get effective ventilation without the noise.

Customizable Lighting and Entertainment

This smart exhaust fan goes beyond ordinary functionality with its customizable RGB lighting and built-in Bluetooth speaker. The color-changing lights offer a full spectrum from warm 2700K to cool 6500K, allowing you to control those warm tones and cool white lights, or choose any other color on the spectrum. Whether you want a calming atmosphere for a relaxing bath or bright, crisp light for getting ready in the morning, this bathroom fan has you covered. Additionally, the integrated Bluetooth speaker lets you enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks, turning your bathroom into a mini spa or entertainment space.

Can the bathroom vent fan be controlled remotely?

Yes, Commercial Electric's Smart Exhaust Fan can be controlled remotely via the Hubspace app, allowing you to adjust the fan speed, lighting, and speaker settings from your smartphone. The app also lets you set schedules and monitor the fan’s performance to ensure your bathroom always has the ideal air movement and bathroom lighting.

Is the exhaust fan easy to install?

The bathroom ventilation fan is designed for ease of installation in both new and existing bathrooms. It comes with clear instructions for bath fan wiring, and all the necessary hardware. If you're comfortable with basic electrical work, you can install it yourself; however, for those less experienced, it's best to hire a professional to ensure proper setup and functionality.
