Airzone

Airzone manufactures bathroom and utility ventilation fans, building a catalog around both AC and DC motor platforms designed for quiet operation in residential and light commercial spaces. Design and testing work runs through Home Ventilating Institute certification and ETL evaluation, with products meeting Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian Underwriters Laboratories safety standards.

Operations are based in Vernon, California, where the company markets its fan lines to installers and distributors across ventilation and electrical supply channels.

Product Lines

AC motor fans span the Value, Compact, Select, and Slim Line series, covering single-speed and multi-configuration exhaust fans sized for standard bathroom and utility installations. DC motor fans cover the Compact, 4 in 1, Select, and Supreme series, with several models carrying ENERGY STAR certification alongside HVI certification.

Accessory options include convertible light kits for SE and SED series fans and fire dampers for installations that require fire-rated duct penetrations. Select models add a built-in humidity sensor that triggers operation based on bathroom moisture levels rather than a separate wall switch alone.

Why Contractors Specify Airzone

Installers specify Airzone fans for documented sone ratings as low as 0.4 sones on humidity-sensor models, giving a quiet result in bathrooms located near bedrooms or shared walls. HVI certification and ETL evaluation against UL and cUL standards give inspectors and property managers a verified performance and safety record to check against project specifications.

DC motor models add ENERGY STAR certification, a consideration for projects tracking energy code compliance or utility rebate programs tied to ventilation equipment.

How to Choose Airzone Products

Selecting an Airzone fan starts with matching CFM output to the bathroom or utility space being served, then checking the sone rating against how close the installation sits to a bedroom or other noise-sensitive room. AC motor fans from the Value, Compact, and Select series suit standard installations, while DC motor fans in the Select and Supreme series suit projects prioritizing lower sound levels and energy code compliance.

Humidity sensor models remove the need for a dedicated timer or occupancy switch on projects where continuous moisture control matters, while a convertible light kit lets a single fan housing double as the room's light fixture. Fire dampers should be added wherever the duct run passes through a fire-rated wall or floor assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Airzone AC and DC motor fans?

AC motor fans cover standard Value, Compact, Select, and Slim Line series exhaust fans, while DC motor fans use a more efficient motor platform found in the Compact, 4 in 1, Select, and Supreme series, with several DC models carrying ENERGY STAR certification.

Are Airzone fans HVI certified?

Yes. Airzone fan lines carry HVI certification along with ETL evaluation confirming compliance with UL and cUL safety standards.

How quiet are Airzone bathroom fans?

Sone ratings vary by model, with some humidity-sensor equipped units rated as low as 0.4 sones, well under the 1.0 sone threshold generally considered quiet for bathroom ventilation.

Do any Airzone fans include a humidity sensor?

Select models include a built-in humidity sensor that activates the fan based on moisture levels in the room rather than relying only on a manual switch.

Can an Airzone fan double as a light fixture?

Convertible light kits are available for SE and SED series fans, allowing a single housing to provide both ventilation and lighting.
