5 Important Things to Keep in Mind When Buying an Electric Fan
Electric fans are an essential part of an Indian household. They help keep homes cool and ventilated. And while air conditioners do offer better cooling as compared to electric fans, it is not economically viable to run the air conditioners all day long. So if you are looking for an electric fan to cool and ventilate your homes, this summer, here are a few things you must keep in mind when you buy one.
1. Type of Fan
Before you start your search, it is important to determine the type of fan that you should buy. There are different types of fans available in the market – ceiling fans, portable fans, wall fans, and exhaust fans. The type of fan you select would depend on various factors such as room type, usage, space issues and more. So let’s say if you want to buy a fan for a standard-sized bedroom or living room, you must go for a ceiling fan. In case there are space issues, you might want to go for a wall fan or a portable fan. Similarly, if you want a fan for ventilation of kitchen and bathroom spaces then you need to buy an exhaust fan.
2. Air Delivery
The air delivery of a fan determines its performance. Be it a ceiling fan that’s used for cooling a room or an exhaust fan used for ventilation purposes, you need to ensure that the fan offers a good air delivery. The air delivery of a fan is the amount (volume) of air that a fan displaces in a minute. It is represented in CMM (Cubic Meters per Minute). The air delivery depends on several important factors such as the speed of the fan, the number of blades, and the shape of the blades.
3. Power Consumption
It is a very important factor to consider when selecting an electric fan. Always go for an energy-efficient fan as it allows substantial savings on energy bills. In fact, one should go for an energy-efficient fan even if it’s more expensive as compared to an ordinary fan. That’s because, in the long run, the amount of savings you will make would be far more than the differential amount you paid for buying an energy-efficient fan. Also, we recommend that you buy from a reputable brand like Luminous India because their fans are reasonably priced and almost at par with ordinary fans.
4. Fan Design
These days fans are available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and designs. No matter whether you want to buy a ceiling fan for your living room, or an exhaust fan for your bathroom, you will find plenty of design options. Choose a fan that goes with the decor of the space where you want to install the fan. For instance, if you want to buy a ceiling fan that goes with the aristocratic decor of your living room, you can go for the Jaipur Tamra by Luminous India. Or let’s say if you want a fan that gives your room an eclectic feel then you can go with Luminous India’s Rio Novo ceiling fan.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance of a fan is necessary to ensure optimal performance. It also helps improve the longevity of a fan. But considering one’s busy schedule, it is best to look for low-maintenance fans that require minimal maintenance. We suggest that you go for a Luminous India fan as they are designed to ensure minimal maintenance and offer peace of mind to the users. For example, Luminous India’s smart fan ‘The Audie’ comes with a dust repellent coating that makes maintenance easy.
To Conclude
Besides the above-mentioned points, it is important to ensure that you buy from a reputable brand that offers a generous warranty and excellent after-sales support. We, therefore, suggest our readers go with Luminous India as it is one of the most trusted names in the home electricals space. Also, the company offers a wide range of fan buying options at reasonable prices.
