Your body cools itself by perspiring, and fans then enhance the effect by generating a breeze over your skin. Typically, running a fan is roughly equivalent in comfort to a temperature reduction of 3°C*. On average, fans use less energy than an airconditioner, making them more cost effective to run. They come in a range of styles and materials to suit all decors, and need to be hardwired and installed by a licensed electrician. Selected Bunnings stores offer an installation service (ask at the Special Orders Desk)’. Before selecting a model, size up your room. The team at Arlec advises that, as a guide, fans up to 1000mm diameter can be installed in small rooms up to 13sqm. “For medium-sized rooms up to 20sqm, consider installing a fan with 1000-1200mm diameter, while rooms larger than 20sqm suit fans with a 1200mm blade diameter or larger." For a large, open- plan space, you may need more than one fan. Fans must be at least 2.1m from the ground, so a room with low ceilings won't be suitable. Tall or raked ceilings? You can use an extension rod to have one installed at the optimum level. Ideal for: Any single room or space that regularly needs cooling.

In cold weather, run your fan clockwise to push warmth from your heat source down into the room. portable fore How do they work? these generate the same type of cooling as the ceiling variety and are ideal for renters, as you can take them with you when you move. Available in floorstanding and desk versions, they can be placed just about anywhere you need acooling breeze. Styles include traditional pedestal models and powerful tower types that don't take up much space.
