Ceiling (suspended) fan – an effective and affordable alternative to a traditional air conditioner. It does not threaten people with a cold, does not “dry” the air, and requires much lower costs. Such household appliances are popular in Europe and the USA; in the post-Soviet space, ceiling fans are increasingly being installed not only in enterprises, but also in apartments.

How to choose

According to the principle of operation, fans are divided into two types:

• Axial. This is the most common type. In them, the blades rotate around the axis, mixing the air masses. Hot air cools; cold air heats up. In addition, the air flow accelerates the evaporation of moisture from human skin and cools the body.
• Exhaust. Fans suck the air out of the room, creating an incoming stream from windows and doors, which gives a cooling effect. Such models are more expensive, installed in the bathroom or in the kitchen.

The criteria by which ceiling fans for an apartment are selected:

• The size (scope) of the blades. For a room of 10 square meters. m diameter of 76 centimeters is enough for ventilation of a room with an area of ​​about 15 square meters. m will require a meter wide. The largest diameter of a standard household fan is 1.3 meters.
• Motor power. Calculation according to the formula: “power (W) of the fan = area of ​​the room multiplied by 2”.
• Light source power. In some fans with luminaires, a choice of lamps by type or power is available. Expensive models are equipped with dimmers that change the brightness of light sources.
• Design Features. A number of models, including low-cost, support remote control.
• Installation complexity. When connecting, it is important to check the quality of the wiring, which carries additional load. The general electrical diagram of an apartment or house should also be designed to increase the voltage during operation of one or more fans.
