Broan Model 178
By Susan M. Johnson
This heater is replacing a 20 year old model. Everything is exactly the same right down to the model number. Great heater for the bathroom.

loud heater
By beqagenie
Went to a lot of work installing heater just to turn around and rip it out. Heater is very noisy. I phoned company and explained situation. They stated "they never advertised unit as being quiet" So much for that.

Excellent unit but be clear about the warranty
By G. Conway
The unit arrived with a damaged electrical connection to the heating element. Northside Service Co. promptly sent a replacement element which was great. After a few months of use the white metal grill (looks like baked enamel or equivalent) started cracking and flaking off at the point where the most heat comes out. I emailed Northside about this and they kindly made it clear that they warranted the product for only 60 days that I needed to talk to Broan 1-800-637-1453. Broan (Trish) said that the sellers uphold the warrantee and not Broan. They added that Northside were not authorized sellers, and that as they serviced it previously they had taken on the responsibility of servicing the warrantee, and that I should go back to them. Fortunately before I needed to take this further Broan said they would go ahead and send me a replacement grill, but they would do this only the one time.
As the unit does a great job of quickly heating the two rooms that make up our main bathroom and shower I highly recommend it. I think Broan has been around long to know how to formulate and apply an appropriate paint finish and that there is going to be odd bad unit or bad batch. So I would buy it again.
