Which one to buy: ceiling, wall or portable fan?

Are you thinking of choosing the fan as an option to cool off in the heat? There are several models on the market, but the choice must be according to the needs of each person or the environment. See here which fan is perfect for your home.

Choose the ideal model:

There are 3 models: ceiling fan , wall fan or portable fan . Each has its own characteristics, but the main difference between them is the range and direction of the wind.

The ceiling fan generates greater climate control. It spreads the breeze across the room evenly, concentrating the strongest wind focus just under the device. The average ventilation range is up to 25 m². This model must be installed at least 70 cm away from furniture or walls.

On the other hand , the wall fan produces more ventilation at a greater distance (50 m²) because it has a strong wind jet. Therefore, you must be more careful when installing so that the artificial wind does not interfere with the entry of natural wind through the windows or doors of the environment.

Meanwhile, the portable or desktop model   has the same functionality as the wall fans, but with a smaller wind distance range (12 m²). Therefore, it is suitable for personal use and not for environments. It can be placed on a coffee table or on the floor.

Fan power
We tend to choose the fan for the power of the engine, but other factors are also influential. The number of blades, for example, is decisive for ventilation. The greater the number of blades, the greater the ability to spread the wind, in addition to the angulation.

Another important factor is the speed of rotation. If the blades turn too fast, the wind turns into a jet, which, despite being cool, can also be disturbing both for noise and comfort.

How to maintain
In general, maintenance of fans, especially wall and ceiling fans, needs to take place every two years. It is worth cleaning it, but also checking the screws and confirming that there is no chattering.

With these tips, it's easier to get it right when choosing the ideal fan , isn't it? Prefer products with quality seal and energy saving and then just enjoy!

How to choose the best fan

In the field of home appliances, electric fans are the cheapest and least complex equipment, and they are often not given due importance either at the time of purchase or in use.
Despite being simple devices, the blades that make up the fan propeller reach high speeds and can hurt the user when they are not properly protected.

First of all, you have to decide the best type of model for your case and how much you are willing to spend.
In fact, there are many fans, from simple tabletop models from 10 euros to ceiling models or even air columns that can reach 200 euros.

How to get the purchase right and use without taking risks?

Fans: which type to choose?
There are several types of fans, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Compare models and prices, test its portability if you intend to use it in various spaces in the house, and check if it is quiet enough, in case you want to install it in a bedroom or near a TV.

table fans

• With prices ranging between 10 and 70 euros, they are the most common and cheapest type of fans.
• With low power, they have a small support and are easy to transport, so the user can enjoy the flow of fresh air wherever they want.
• They also allow directing the flow horizontally and vertically.
• Its use is preferably intended for small rooms or offices.

standing fans

• Prices can vary between around 20 and 120 euros.
• These fans are similar to desktop models, with the same advantages, only differing in the height of the support, which gives them some instability.
• The foot is adjustable in height.
• These appliances have the ability to oscillate, which also improves their use in larger rooms.

Floor fans

• With prices between around 25 and 100 euros, these devices are bigger and more powerful than table or standing fans.
• They are intended to be used on the floor, given their weight and dimension.
• They are stable devices, but they only allow you to adjust the airflow vertically, tilting the fan itself.
• These fans promote good air circulation in large spaces.

ceiling fans

• The prices of ceiling models range from around 40 to 200 euros.
• Although they are currently little sought after, the truth is that they allow two problems to be solved at once, such as lighting and climate control.
• Furthermore, these fans allow for the inversion of rotation.
• In this way, they help to cool the air on hot days and allow more pleasant air circulation on cold days.

air columns

• Prices for towers or air columns vary between 30 and 200 euros.
• These equipments are, in fact, fans that generate an air flow without resorting to rotating blades.
• There is therefore no risk of inadvertently placing your fingers in the middle of the mechanism.
• The air columns can be programmed to swing left and right and thus cover a larger area.

How to choose the fan well

• Choose the fan that best suits the space where you want to use it.
• Larger fans are suitable for larger spaces, while smaller fans (such as desktop ones) are more practical for smaller spaces, such as an office, for example.
• Check that the noise emitted during operation does not affect the activities you usually carry out in the space where you intend to install it.
• For use with a television, it is wise to opt for a silent model.
• The same goes for a fan you intend to use in the bedroom.
• Check fan speeds before purchasing.
• Most models have programs with different operating speeds, but sometimes the “weakest program” in one fan can correspond to a “strongest program” in another.
• Whenever possible, check the different fan speed settings.
• Try to test the strength of the base or foot and its stability in operation.
• At the store, try running it at full speed to see if it remains stable.
• The standing fans must have a sturdy base, to avoid an eventual fall in operation.
• Prefer a model with removable grids for easy cleaning.
• Metal grills are more resistant than plastic ones.
• Children may be tempted to put their fingers in the spaces between the grids to try and touch the fan blades.
• From the outset, manufacturers are required to comply with stringent safety standards and, therefore, it is not expected that you will be able to put your fingers between the bars.
• Still, it is wise to check the space between the grids.
• Do not leave the fan running in an empty room.
• In fact, fans do not cool the spaces in the house.
• They only promote the freshness effect through contact with the user's skin.
• By leaving a fan running in a room, in addition to heating the space due to the motor running, you will be wasting energy unnecessarily.
