Hartford, Wis., January
19, 2010 – Broan-NuTone®
is proud to announce that Broan® and NuTone® Ventilation
Fans were rated brand leaders in Bathroom Ventilation/Fans for
the second year in a row in the Brand Use Study, sponsored by Hanley
Wood on behalf of BUILDER magazine.
“Broan-NuTone is pleased to be acknowledged by the readers of BUILDER magazine
as the industry leader in residential ventilation for the second
consecutive year,” says Steve Swenerton, senior VP of
marketing and retail sales, Broan-NuTone. “We develop, engineer
and manufacture forward-thinking residential ventilation and
built-in products that greatly improve the overall indoor environment.
We are pleased that the building industry continues to consider our
products as their preferred choice when looking for quality
ventilation solutions for the homes they build.”
The study surveyed more than 10,000 builders, builder-developers and
general contractors to construct a profile of brands used by the building
industry. In the Bathroom Ventilation/Fans category, Broan
and NuTone fans were rated as top brands in quality and claimed the
top spots in both brand recognition and most used brands, being 30
percent more recognizable and used four times more often than their
nearest competitor.
“Broan and NuTone are to be congratulated for their strong leadership
showing in the bathroom ventilation fans category. They are the top
two brands in ‘Brand Familiarity’, ‘Brand Used in
the Past Two Years’, and ‘Brand Used Most’,” says
Warren Nesbitt, executive director, Residential New Construction, Hanley
Wood Business Media.
Broan and NuTone ventilation fans are available in many options such
as recessed fan/lights, decorative fan/lights, ENERGY STAR® qualified
fans and Ultra Silent™
fans. “The options are endless,” says Patrick Nielsen,
marketing manager, ventilation fans, Broan-NuTone. “We continuously
monitor consumer trends so builders, designers and homeowners
never have to look elsewhere to find a ventilation fan to meet their
needs.”
Additionally, many models of Broan and NuTone ventilation fans can
help earn points or credits under the U.S. Green Building Council’s
(USBGC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes
and the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Model Green
Home Building Guidelines. Homeowners will appreciate that Broan
and NuTone ENERGY STAR® qualified fans can use less than 10 kilowatt
hours per year – or about $1.00 per year in electricity.
Over 80 percent of Broan-NuTone products sold in the U.S. and all
Broan and NuTone ENERGY STAR® qualified ventilation fans are
designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S. which
means the carbon footprint required to make products available to
homeowners is less than most competitors. Purchasing and
installing a ventilation fan from the brand leaders ensures consumers
are getting a quality product as well as helping to support American
jobs.
