Did you know?

In field tests conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, nearly half of all installed ventilation fans fail the required airflow standards outlined in ASHRAE 62.2 (the recognized standard for ventilation and indoor air quality), despite their advertised CFM.

Rely on a higher power

For a healthy home and healthy living, clean indoor air is essential.

Panasonic is reinventing venting with superior ventilation power that quickly removes contaminated air and moisture from your home. When you install a Panasonic ventilation fan you always get the promised CFM power rating as listed on the box.

Understanding the importance of power rating:

  • To move unhealthy air and moisture out of the home effectively, high-powered ventilation is essential. Panasonic fans deliver greater air-moving power as tested and verified in real-world settings.
  • Panasonic fans are engineered to perform beyond the minimum 0.1" and 0.25" static pressure benchmarks, despite complicated duct runs
  • Our ECM-motored fans provide powerful CFM output and overcome static pressure at the 0.375" level more common on typical installations.

Product Description

Product Description

Panasonic ventilation ceiling exhaust fans produce maximum airflow and remove air impurities while operating at whisper-quiet noise levels.



The Panasonic WhisperCeiling Spot Ventilation Fan comes from a line of time-tested, customer-approved and energy-efficient ventilation fans that are both quiet and powerful. Ideal for light commercial applications, it incorporates a 6” duct adapter, fits in 2x8 construction and can be used to comply with the latest codes and standards. This Panasonic fan is equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse and a built-in damper to prevent backdraft and outside air from coming through the fan. WhisperCeiling exhaust fans feature an enclosed condenser AC motor and a double-tapered blower wheel to quietly move air at twice the static pressure as the industry standard. The double hanger-bar system, expandable up to 24”, is ideal for positioning the fan exactly where you want it. This WhisperCeiling fan is designed for user-friendly installation with detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, an adjustable mounting bracket (up to 26”), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring. Designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation, this fan is made with high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors that wear at a slower pace. Panasonic fans use less energy to move larger volumes of air for less overheating and motor failure, ensuring a longer-lasting fan than other ventilation options. This fan is UL listed for tub/shower enclosure (install on a GFCI-protected circuit). It is Energy Star certified and complies with ASHRAE 62.2, LEED, IAP, EarthCraft, California Title 24 and WA Ventilation Code.



Achieve quality air and energy efficiency with whisper-quiet sound levels for your spaces with the Panasonic WhisperCeiling Spot Ventilation Fan.

From the Manufacturer

The Panasonic FV-30VQ3 WhisperCeiling 290 CFM fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a double-tapered, dolphin shaped bladed blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Panasonic fans use a wide blower wheel that move a large amount of air at reduced RPMs, so they are quiet enough that you might not even know they're on. With a 2.0 sone level and rated 290 cubic feet per minute, this fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years due to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. We designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust. This Energy Star qualified fan has a built-in damper to prevent back draft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. The Panasonic FV-30VQ3 WhisperCeiling 290 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan is covered by a manufacturer warranty for period of three years from the date of the original purchase and is sold one item per package.

Customers like the fog of the electric fan. They mention that it works well, draws out humidity quickly, and effectively. They like the fact that there is no condensation on any surface outside of the shower area, and that their bathroom mirrors do not even fog up anymore. The fan is powerful and was relatively easy to install, and it does a great job at pulling the warm moist air out of the room after a shower. It vents perfectly and amazingly, and there is now no more hot bedroom after showers.

Not quite “Whisper Quiet”, but moves a ton of air!
5 Stars
Not quite “Whisper Quiet”, but moves a ton of air!
Gutted out and remodeled a 10’ x 8’ bathroom last year. I had purchased a 100CFM HomeNetworks fan with Integrated Bluetooth speaker. It was one of the more expensive bathroom fans Lowe’s carried and thought the kids would enjoy music while showering or bathing. Turns out, what they really enjoy is unreasonably hot showers. 😐The new bathroom became our new sauna. Water dripping from the fan cover, water/condensation dripping down the walls, and the vanity mirror completely soaked. Not good. I did a lot of research to find a fan that seemed to have enough true CFM. It’s significantly larger than the one it replaced. I also consulted some contractors and electricians.This model seemed to fit the bill. Install took me about 2 1/2 hours. I’m handy, but not an electrician or contractor. I’d say the most difficult part was feeding the 6” duct through the edge of the attic and soffit. Everything else was very straightforward. I like that Panasonic includes rubber washers and pads to isolate and minimize vibration/noise. With that said, it’s definitely not “Whisper Quiet”, but certainly acceptable for a fan that moves so much air. Once installed, I let the shower run for 15 minutes with the door closed at max water temps (too hot to stand under) and the mirror, walls and fan cover we’re bone dry. Not a quiet fan, but very happy with how dry it keeps the room. I wish the fan cover was true white, it’s an off white, so it doesn’t blend in as well with the ceiling paint. Would recommend if you’re having trouble with moisture in your bathroom.
