Zephyr entered the market in 1997, recognizing the increasing demand for high output cooking equipment and built-in appliances in residential homes. A new platform of ventilating range goods, the "Power Series", with never before available features and performances, was created. Zephyr introduced products addressing air quality concerns for consumers seeking high CFM ventilation along with quietness, efficiency, unique features and competitive pricing. The immediate popularity and overwhelming reception of these products from consumers began to write the Zephyr story.
