Panasonic has designed a fan to meet the task of venting with the utmost in energy efficiency. The low sone (noise) level and low input wattage allow these fans to run continuously and quietly. This is not true of the typical ceiling fan which typically runs at 3 to 4 sones (one sone is roughly equal to the sound of a new refrigerator) while using considerably more electricity. This means that a 80 CFM (cubic feet/minute) fan can be hard-wired to run day and night and use less energy than a 60 watt light bulb left on for 7 hrs.
Because this fan is quiet, rated for continuous use and a low-energy user, the Airetrack or Tork controls (see Ventilation Controls section) can be used to turn the Panasonic into more of a whole house fan.
All fans come with a build in backdraft damper and white metal grill. Only the two speed model comes with a wall switch.The smaller standard depth ceiling fans, up to the 110 cfm, will not perform at their best if installed in a wall. The larger fans, along with the Whisperfit can be installed in either a wall or ceiling. All of the Panasonic fans can be used with a solid state speed control.
