Types of Fans for Residential Use in India

Fans make the most commonly used cooling appliance across the world. A mechanical fan, essentially, comprises a rotating arrangement of blades which circulate the air in a room, while keeping the humidity level in check. Though most fans are powered by electric motors, the other possible sources of power are hydraulic motors, handcranks, internal combustion engines, and solar power. At present, there are many types of fans available in the market. Considering your requirements like area of operation, functionality, decorative purpose or basic use, you can choose from a wide range of fans. So, let’s check out the various types of fans available in India.

These fans work efficiently in smaller areas, and are convenient and portable. Table fans deliver amazing spot circulation, and can be kept stationary or oscillating as per the requirement. Since these fans are light weight and portable, you can use them almost everywhere. Table fans, today, are available in a range of sizes, colors and designs.

Personal Fans

Most of these fans come with open slots situated at the back and front that allow air to be drawn in from one side and released on the other. The personal fans help in circulating indoor air and prevent it from getting stagnated. These can also be used to eliminate odors.

Window Fans

Designed to be placed inside the window frame, Window fans are used to maintain comfortable temperatures and ensure ventilation within the installed area.

Most of these fans have either one large fan, or two small fans mounted side by side. Window fans come with two or three speed options, and some are electrically reversible to facilitate switching between intake and exhaust modes. Window mount fans are ideal for places with a limited area/floor space.

Pedestal Fan

Pedestal Fans, also known as Stand-up Fans, are oscillating fans supported by an adjustable rod with a sturdy pedestal at the bottom. Since these fans are tall with an adjustable height feature, they are kept on the floor. Their oscillation feature enables air distribution in a wider area. Pedestal fans are highly efficient and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Available in many sizes, colors and designs, these fans are effective in circulating air in large rooms.

Since these are portable, you can place them in any corner of your room according to your convenience and requirement. Floor Fans are popular like ceiling fans, yet don’t require permanent installation. They come in many sizes, colors, shapes, and designs. Their compact design makes them ideal for cooling small personal spaces, warehouses, rooms that get humid, offices, and even for outdoor spaces like patio, balconies, and terraces.

Tower Fans
