This is the kind of small business, not Home Depot, you should go to get good parts. Both Tom and Elaine are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Incredibly nice people

Fantastic place to get those hard to find parts for any built in device. Elaine is so fun to chat with and went back in the storeroom multiple times trying to give me as many options as possible for a central vacuum fitting.
She also pulled out instruction manuals and made sure I knew how everything connects. They have a good display but plenty more items in the back so just ask Elaine. Very friendly and helpful.
They have their own parking lot off Taylor St which is a plus.

We came in thinking we would need to buy a new bathroom celling fan. We knew that it would cost $285 on Amazon. This place took the fan, did some tests and it turns out we only needed a $16 connector. We couldn't be happier.

We had been searching for a whole house fan for some time. Built-in Center LTE allowed us to see and listen to the whole house fan and even make adjustments to the speed setting to hear the different noise levels. The knowledge and support of the employees was great and the contractor they recommended did a great job at a significantly lower cost than other contractors we quoted. Great experience, highly recommend LTE.

Local owned small company- sell all parts for ventilation fans- motors, and can help you out with any ventilation fan. Also sell whole house fans, central vacuum items, all ducting and roof + wall caps. Have a back area with lit bathroom mirrors and cabinets made by robern.

Instead of replacing an entire exhaust fan in the bathroom, if you'd rather just buy a part and fix it for a fraction of the cost, and saving the environment too - check LTE at least. Seriously, in a time where everyone simply replaces instead of fixing, and buying from amazon is hit or miss (will it fit?) you can actually go to a neighborhood store, owned locally off Stockton St in SJ, and someone knowledgeable actually answers the phone, her name was Elaine, she was super helpful and gave me a pricing of all the parts in my old Nu-tone 605RP exhaust fan, so I could just replace a burnt

LTE had exactly what I wanted. They were extremely helpful and I was in and out in minutes. I replaced our HP Vacuflo Model 26 central vacuum unit that worked flawlessly for over 30 years. With that kind of quality design and reliability, I decided on a new Vacuflo 566Q. Works perfectly and is quieter than the original. LTE will be my first stop if any of my super-quiet Panasonic fans stop working, but they may last 30 years too.

Went in on a Saturday morning to find an exhaust fan for my attic space above my garage and Elaine was able to help me find what I needed.

Pricing is competitive and most all of the products they sell are from quality name brand manufactures. For me the convenience of walking into a store, finding what I need and walk out with it the very same day is worth it to me to pay a little more.

I would highly recommend them for their service and for their in-store product availability.

They carry items that's not carried at other local stores. I needed a new doorbell, and I found the Nutone door bell that we had before here.

Definitely going to come back for other hard to find items.

I had a problem with my Vacuflo central vacuum system so I decided to call the store with whom I purchased my system from many years ago "Built-In Center LTE Company." To my surprise they were still in business and at the same location. Kim answered my call and I described my problem to her. She immediately turned my call over to Tom who was able to provide me with a "telephone diagnosis" saving me a trip down to their store and/or having to make a home service call appointment Tom was extremely professional and very helpful simply by his knowledge of the type of system I

I have used LTE for years and they have always had just what I needed.
I am a HVAC contractor and can buy from many different wholesale houses in town, but I find LTE to always be well stocked and the most important thing "very knowledgeable"on their products.

Found LTE through Yelp and decided to make a call to see if they carried a few parts for my broken attic fan. The sales rep Tom was easy to work with and he gave me the cost over the phone. I later called to see if the whole unit was less expensive than ordering the parts and they were just as helpful. I went with the whole fan and they had it waiting for me when I came in.

The service was great and the cost was reasonable. The fan is now working and we're all happy at home.

Great service, fair price and easy to get to.

Thanks Tom!

We needed to replace our almost 20 year old noisy Nutone Bathroom Ceiling Fan, and while researching on line, I learned that our model fan has long been discontinued. However, wait a minute, I remembered about 20 years ago I needed some help with our Nutone Room to Room Intercom System and I was recommended to a place on Stockton off Taylor in San Jose, called LTE Built-In Center. So i looked them up and sure enough they are still in the same location. I called Monday and spoke to a very helpful employee named Phillip, who found the replacement motor in his stock. He recommended bringing the

The power head for the power hose on my built-in NuTone central vacuum was not working at all. They cleaned it out and had it working in about 20 minutes. I didn't need to buy a new power head. Thanks guys.

Needed some fans for the bathrooms and one of my long-time contractor friends recommended this place. Always awesome to support the small guy especially with Lowe's and HD not too far away.

Super knowledgeable about the fans, which was ideal for what environment and gave me great pricing compared to big box shops.

I'd definitely recommend this place in the future.

I have never found a store that specializes in bathroom fans only. Before you buy a fan, come listen to it at this store so you know how loud it will be. This store also carries the ducting, dampers, timer switches which really takes the guesswork out of what else is needed. If you read the Amazon.Com reviews you will find out that Panasonic is the quietest and most reliable and Ed carries most that you can listen to. This stores prices will be higher than any on the internet, you will find most models in-stock.

Even if you don't end up buying, you gotta come listen to them then make an informed

Fantastic old-school store! Working displays of nearly every model of bathroom fan available so you can compare sound, lights, and looks. Most are in stock! We are doing a large remodel project and even though I had researched fans exhaustively online, this place blew me away.

If you want to make a more informed choice of bathroom fan without merely relying on internet advice and little online photos, this is a great place to go -- they know their fans and are extremely helpful, well worth the slight upcharge over the bargain basement online places that can result in a return nightmare and

If you are looking for bathroom fans then this is the place! They carry a full inventory of ventilation fans from Panasonic, Nutone and Broan. Unaassuming store front hides a great show room of bathroom vent products. They are a distributor as well as selling to end users like me.

This beats Lowes, Home Depot or OSH in selection. Owner/Engineer Ed has a great showroom where each fan is installed, with all the stats labelled that you can turn on and see for yourself how loud the bathroom fan is going to be. Fans are listed .3 to 1.5 Sones (since I had no idea how loud a sones was this show
