Hartford, Wis., January
19, 2010 –
One of the easiest ways Americans can contribute to strengthening the
economy is to make sure they buy American-made products.
One easy place to start is with ventilation products for the home. Broan-NuTone® makes
this an easy choice as all of its ENERGY STAR® qualified
fans are designed, engineered, manufactured and customer-supported
in the United States.
The ENERGY STAR lineup of Broan® and NuTone® ventilation fans
includes some 35 different models from the Ultra Silent™ Series,
recessed fan/lights, as well as heavy-duty models ideal for light commercial
installations and offices. The Ultra Silent Series includes traditional
bath fans and humidity sensing fans that use less than 10 kilowatt
hours per year and cost only $1.00 a year in energy to operate.
As the latest employment statistics confirm, American workers continue
to struggle. According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in December 2009, the number of unemployed
persons in the U.S. was 15.3 million and the unemployment rate was
10 percent, nearly the highest it has been in the U.S. in 26 years.
It’s now more important than ever for Americans to do their part
to help protect American jobs.
“When you purchase an ENERGY STAR qualified fan from us, you’re
not only getting the best IAQ value on the market, but you’re
also helping to keep jobs in the U.S. And not just manufacturing jobs;
technical and customer support jobs as well. When you call
us, you’re speaking to a Broan-NuTone associate on American soil,
not overseas. This ‘Made in America’ commitment,
combined with the incredible IAQ value, makes the installation of a
Broan-NuTone ENERGY STAR fan a win-win,” says Patrick Nielsen,
marketing manager, ventilation fans, Broan-NuTone.
And all of this for only $1.00 a year in energy to operate. Again,
Broan-NuTone is doing its part to help families weather the economic
downturn by keeping electric bills in check.
Another interesting fact is the carbon footprint required to make
an ENERGY STAR qualified ventilation fan by Broan-NuTone is less than
many of its competitors coming from overseas.
With three facilities in Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas and 969 associates
in the U.S., Broan-NuTone employees take pride in their jobs
whether it is on the manufacturing line or behind a desk. “I’m
proud to be an American and a Broan-NuTone employee,” says Jim
Carr, display and assembly, Broan-NuTone.
“For 22 years I have taken great pride in doing the best job
I can so we can build America’s best ventilation products.”
