Floor Fans: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing Floor Fans, it's crucial to consider the size of the room and the fan's power. A larger room requires a more powerful fan to ensure adequate airflow. For small to medium-sized rooms, a fan with a diameter of 12″ to 16″ might suffice. However, for larger spaces, you may want to opt for a model with a 20″ or larger blade span. Check the fan's wattage as well; higher wattage often means more powerful airflow, which is ideal for cooling down bigger areas.
Floor Fans with adjustable features can provide more comfort and flexibility. Height adjustability allows you to direct airflow where it's needed most, while oscillation ensures that air circulates throughout the entire room. Some models also offer variable speed settings, so you can customise the intensity of the breeze according to your preference. Investing in a fan with these features can significantly enhance your comfort and make your purchase more versatile.
Noise levels are an important consideration when purchasing Floor Fans, especially if you plan to use them in bedrooms or offices where quiet is essential. Look for models that specify their decibel levels; generally, a noise level below 60 dB is considered quiet and suitable for such environments. Reading user reviews can also provide insight into how noisy a fan might be during operation. Choosing a quieter model ensures that you stay cool without unnecessary distractions.
FAQ
A floor fan is basically a construction designed to move gas or air. The air doesn't actually get colder, but is separated from the surface of the skin, which makes it more comfortable to stay in high temperatures. In other words, using a fan when you’re not in the room does not have any effect on the temperature, unlike an air conditioner.
Not enough to significantly affect your electricity bill. A normal-sized floor fan that’s being used sparingly will not cost you more than 8 pence a day. If you have a big house and are using several fans at the same time, and leave them on when you are not in the room, it will probably cost you around 30-40 pence a day.
It’s really important that you place the fan so that it can effectively fan the hot air away from your skin, i.e., it should be directed at the place where you are. Otherwise, it will not have any effect at all. When it’s colder outside, you can place the fan close to the window so the room fills up with cool air.
At maximum capacity, the decibel level for a floor fan is usually between 45 and 55. This can be disturbing if you’re not used to it, especially at night. There are, however, a few floor fans that have decibel levels lower than 40. If you’re sensitive to disturbing noises, you should have a closer look at these models.
There are generally two types of floor fans: Regular floor fans and tower fans. A tower fan works almost like a regular floor fan, but has no visible rotating blades and is usually way less bulky. Those who don't think that a regular floor fan would go well with their interior design at home should have a look at a tower fan instead. You should, however, be a bit careful with some of the simpler models, as they tend to be both ineffective and noisy.
