    Answer: 
    Thank you for your question on model number 163. This unit has a safety device that will turn the fan on when it detects too much heat inside the unit housing. When the housing cools down, it should turn the fan off.

    Answer: 
    Thank you for your question on the model 163 two bulb heat lamp. If you have access from an attic or crawl space above the unit, the replacement is fairly easy. If you do not have access from above, you would need to remove more ceiling than would normally be required and repair the ceiling after you are done. If you need to discuss this in more depth please contact our Technical Service Department 800-637-1453.

    Answer: 
    Yes, but do not install over a tub or shower. If you want Model 163 can be fitted with 1 infrared bulb (for Heat) & 1 reflector bulb (for light).
