Ceiling Fans – Choosing The Correct Fan
Lucy Bartlett
Controlling the room temperature by using air conditioners is
no longer a luxury with the prices of split and window
air-conditioners crashing down. Still many of us are using the
ceiling fans to create a breeze to bring down the temperature
of the room.
Ceiling fans with their 120 years of history saw some
revolutionary changes in the design and style and the latest
being the ceiling fan with a remote control which has buttons
to turn the fan off or on, regulate the speed or reverse the
wind flow.
A good ceiling fan should have the capacity for higher delivery
of air with less noise, less wobbling, longer usage, good paint
which will resist corrosion and scratching. The design should
adhere to all the mandatory safety regulations.
Aerodynamics in the fan results in air delivery. Aerodynamic
design includes factors such as angle of the blades, depth of
the blade, rotations per minute and the design of the motor.
Higher RPM highlighted by the manufacturers does not mean
higher delivery of air.
Ceiling fans are available in sizes of 56”, 48”, 42”, 36” and
24’’. Higher air circulation can be achieved by using a ceiling
fan with a bigger blade surface.
People normally have a wrong notion that more blades in a
ceiling fan will result in more air circulation. It is totally
wrong. A 4 blade ceiling fan and 3 blade ceiling fan will
deliver same amount of air.
To get best results from the ceiling fan, install them so that
the height of the plane of rotation of the blades is nearly 8
feet from the ground. Similarly ensure that the height of the
ceiling is just 1 feet from the plane of rotation of the
blades.
To ensure proper delivery of air, check the room size,
ventilation, and fan size. Increase the speed to maximum and
then check at different locations of room for good air
delivery. Ensure that the angle of the blade is fixed as per
the instruction manual.
Wipe the dust accumulated in the ceiling fan, using a moist or
soft cloth. To preserve the gloss of the paint, avoid using
detergents and soaps to clean the fan. Avoid applying too much
pressure when you are cleaning the fan since it might change
the angle of the blades.
The technology in a table or pedestal fan is similar to the
ceiling fan. When buying a table or desk fan ensure it operates
quietly without too much noise, oscillates smoothly, and has a
heavy duty metal housing and a good speed controller.
If you are bored with looking at a drab and plain table fan you
can spend approx $35 and get a table fan which has illuminated
LEDs. With random selection technology the illumination changes
its pattern and designs of lighting.
