0696B000 or 8632000

To motor only, or to buy the assembly. That is the question. Well, here is the answer. We very much so recommend the 0696B000 as opposed to buying just the motor only 86322000. Why is that? Many reasons actually. Believe it or not, the entire assembly is much easier to install than just the motor only.The 0696B000 assembly is quieter and far more reliable than the motor only. The highly highly popular QT110s and QT100s were installed everywhere and more often than not need a replacement motor regularly. If you are needed a new motor, buying the assembly will save you money in the long run. I cannot stress that enough. Also grab a new grille for your older QT fan by clicking the link---> here <---

So if you're on the hunt for a new motor, grab the assembly instead. Your bathroom and its guests will thank you.

The assembly works with the following NuTone/Broan models:
QT100FL
QT100L
QT100LH
QT100LHM
QT100LM
QT110
QT110H
QT110NB
QT110N

Choosing an electrician.

Hello! Many of you have ordered parts but often pondered - "now how in the heck am I supposed to install this?" And that is more than okay. To be fair, 97% of us lack knowledge on an intercoms, bathroom fans, and central vacuums. So you plan to hire an electrician, but cant figure out whats fair and not in the world of hiring help. Here are some tips to help you find a quality hand to enter your home and offer aid.

Keep in mind there are many different contractors out there that have varied experience and knowledge so be sure to ask and ask again to make sure everyone is on the same page. Google will undoubtedly be your best friend here. Look for a website, yelp reviews, or anything else you can unearth on said contractor. If your man has wronged someone in the past, then there most certainly will be information regarding it. Always compare estimates for the job so you get a ballpark figure of what your going to be spending. Get an early sense of your electricians grasp of what exactly he knows, as many can bluff their way to getting knee deep into something they know nothing about. Ask someone who has used him before. Even in this age of having an abundance of knowledge at our fingertips, word of mouth is still a powerful tool.

So there you have it. Make sure to review everything before hiring help! It could save you from quick and painless to tiresome and frustrating. Hope this helps! Good luck DIYers.

StoreForParts Tip of The Week - Bathroom Fan Maintenance.

Bathroom Fan Maintenance, an oft-overlooked project until its too late. For those of you with extra time on your hands, here is a quick 30 minute project to ensure years of trouble-free operation with your bathroom fan.

Built up dirt in your bathroom fan can strain the motor leading to its eventual demise. For a quick solution, turn off the power to your Bathroom Fan and simply remove the grille. From there, if possible, you can carefully brush off excess dust on the motor and fan blade. If it is impossible, unplug and unscrew the motor from the mount it sits on and take it down. It is also recommended to add oil where the shaft and motor meet on each side of the motor. Doing this will help your motor run smoother and quieter. Place the motor back into the fan and screw it back on the mount and voila! One clean and quieter motor.

Pro Tip:

Our pro tip this week is short and simple - be sure you find not only the correct model number of your exhaust fan, but the correct revision of it as well. For example Broan 676 exhaust fan parts have been revised numerous times throughout history. To ensure accuracy take a look at the sticker on the exhaust fan motor you are trying to replace. The sticker will be white (see picture below). Also take a quick look at your mounting bracket and the mounting bracket picture in the product page and be 100% sure they are a hand in glove fit. This will also save you a headache and return shipping charges.
- Use parts explosion.
- Find the model number and series number (if needed) on the white sticker.
- Check the mounting brackets as they also are prone to change.
- Call with questions.

As always you can call one of our experts at 866-368-8663 for further assistance in locating the proper model and serial number. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Central Vacuum Systems

Tired of lugging that abomination of a vacuum around the house? It smells, is noisy, and actually does little to remove your home from allergens since more cases than not, the bag is dumped right in the nearest trash can.

What?
A central vacuum cleaner is installed into the home (basements, garages) that is designed to remove dirt and displace it through a series of PVC tubing to the central vacuum itself. Inlets are installed throughout various rooms in the home to achieve this. The wall inlets are then used as a base for an assortment of different attachments used to clean the home. Hoses from 30 to 42 feet can be used to clean a myriad of different places within one room. Also available to the user are crevice tools, stair tools, powered vacuum heads, turbine heads, floor tools, rug tools, pet grooming tools, vac-pans for kitchens (see what i'm getting at?)

Why? Well many reasons really.....
-Central vacuums keep allergens out and into a bag in another room.
-Considerably less noise
-Convenience
-Less emptying
-Less damage due to easier to use tools
-More versatility due to the assortment of attachments that can be used

On average homeowners are almost 100% satisfied with the initial purchase due to the long term savings brought upon by long term use.

So why not take a look at all we have to offer for you and your Central Vacuum System? We carry parts for most major brands and some that we haven't listed yet (pardon us)
