WALL MOUNTED FANS

Wall-mounted fans are an effective cooling solution if you have limited floor space or want to keep fans out of reach of children and pets. Some wall-mount fans come with a remote control, making them ideal for bedrooms or living areas. Corner mount fans that oscillate can be used in a workshop to provide continual air flow and help cool things down.

Wall-Mount Fan Considerations

When it comes to deciding on a wall-mounted fan, here are some factors to address:

• Size: You’ll want to find an appropriately sized fan to produce a sufficient amount of airflow for your room. Be sure to check the fan’s CFM (cubic feet per minute) measurement, which indicates how much air a fan can move per minute. The higher the CFM, the stronger the airflow you’ll have. If you’re unsure about the size you need, stick with a bigger fan. It’s more energy-efficient to have a large wall mounted oscillating fan running at a slower speed than to have a small wall-mount fan going at a higher speed.

• Installation: For most wall-mounted fans, a Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver and step ladder are the only tools you’ll need. Screws and mounting brackets are almost always included with wall-mount fans. But portable fan parts are always available if you need replacements. If you’re installing an outdoor wall fan, make sure it’s waterproof or secured under a covered patio or deck.

• Durability: Lightweight wall-mounted fans made from plastic are ideal for residential and office settings. For commercial environments, industrial wall-mounted fans offer unmatched durability and toughness. Look for industrial fans featuring an enclosed, permanently lubricated motor, which will provide years of usage without expensive maintenance or repairs.

Wall-mount fans play an important role in how comfortable you feel in your home or office. Finding the right fan is essential so you won’t have to worry about majorly altering your home’s structure or receiving astronomical energy bills while staying cool.
