A ceiling fan optimizes comfort in summer by cooling the air in the room where it is installed. Available devices differ in size, material, and various options like the presence of a light or a direct operating mechanism.
Ceiling fans have features to be aware of:
- they are equipped with blades to stir the air;
- the propeller is attached to the motor shaft, hence the term axial fans;
- they are firmly fixed to the ceiling with screws and plugs;
- they contribute to the room's decoration.
Some criteria should be considered when choosing the device.
- The length of the blades must be adapted to the size of the room to be cooled. If 80 cm blades are suitable for 10 m², large rooms require 130 cm blades.
- The number of blades has no impact on the device's efficiency.
- The inclination of the blades should not be overlooked. Indeed, the greater the angle of inclination, the more efficient the device is at cooling the room.
Other parameters should also be considered in the choice:
- some models are equipped with a light fixture;
- others have a cord that allows them to be operated by pulling on it;
- devices equipped with a remote control are convenient to use;
- some devices have a speed variator (up to 4) for maximum comfort;
- the height of the rod depends on the ceiling height;
- the winter function allows changing the blade rotation direction to bring warmth into the room.
Ceiling fans are part of the decoration. Thus, aesthetic criteria should also be considered:
- the blades are made of various materials such as wood, PVC, or stainless steel;
- models with ceiling lights are equipped with a globe or a spot;
- while some versions have an antique or colonial style, others are designed to match modern decor.
Thus, the choice of a ceiling fan depends on the room's size, the ceiling height, the style of decoration, and the desired comfort (remote control, speed, light).
