BROAN-NuTone 157 Ceiling Heater
The Broan-Nutone 157 Low-Profile Ceiling Heater provides a reliable 1250W/1500W radiant heating solution for residential bathrooms and utility spaces where floor and wall space is limited. Engineered with a permanently lubricated motor and a balanced centrifugal blower wheel, this unit ensures consistent thermal distribution with minimal acoustic impact. The sheathed heating element is designed for longevity, resisting corrosion in high-moisture environments. It features a low-profile, surface-mount design that extends only 2-3/4 inches from the ceiling, making it ideal for retrofit applications or new construction. The integrated overheat protection includes a thermal fuse that serves as a critical safety cutoff to prevent high-limit excursions. For optimal performance, pair this 120V AC ceiling heater with a dedicated 15-amp circuit and a high-quality line-voltage wall thermostat. This unit is an industry-standard choice for contractors requiring a durable, ceiling-mounted supplemental heat source that maintains UL listing compliance for safety and performance.
Key Benefits for Technicians
- Simplified Surface Mounting: Installs directly to standard 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch round junction boxes or 4 inch octagonal boxes without requiring ceiling cutouts.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a metallic fan blade and rugged housing for reliable operation in demanding residential environments.
- Efficient Heat Transfer: The 1500 Watt capacity at 120V delivers 5120 BTU/hr, sufficient for heating small to medium-sized bathrooms quickly.
- Low-Profile Design: Satin-finish aluminum grille integrates cleanly into modern aesthetics while providing a wide 12-inch heat distribution pattern.
Common Questions & Technical Insights
Is this unit compatible with a digital wall thermostat?
