The summer season is here and considering the fact that the average temperatures have been rising with each passing year, the next few months could be very challenging. In a scenario like this, it is important to make the necessary arrangements to beat the summer heat. One of the ways is to ensure your ACs are serviced and are ready to provide relief from the scorching sun. But that wouldn’t suffice because installing ACs in every room is not economical, nor is it practically possible in some scenarios. For instance, if you are sitting in your garden or in a cabin where installing an AC or a ceiling fan is not possible, in such cases you need to go for a pedestal fan. And before you go ahead and buy one, here are a few factors you must consider.
1. Air Delivery
The air delivery of a pedestal fan is one of the most important things to consider when looking for a pedestal fan. That’s because it is the air delivery that determines the efficiency of a fan. Air delivery is measured in CMM (cubic meters per minute) and it is a measure of the amount of volume of air displaced by a fan every minute. The higher the air delivery, the more cooling.
2. Fan Size
Fan size, also known as sweep size is the circle that a fan makes when it is in motion. It is an important factor to consider because the air delivery of a pedestal fan depends on its sweep size. The sweep size in turn depends on the size of the room where you would like to install the pedestal fan. So let’s say if you want to use your pedestal fan in a big room, you need to go with a bigger pedestal fan. A good sweep size range lies anywhere between 400 mm to 500 mm.
3. Weight
One of the most important features of a pedestal fan is portability. And so it is important to buy a lightweight fan that is easy to move around. You can also look for a fan with wheels so that it is easy to move. We suggest that you go with a Luminous India pedestal fan as its blades are made of high-grade plastic which makes it much lighter than a pedestal fan with metal blades.
4. Fan Speed
The speed of a pedestal fan plays an important role in the air thrust generated by the fan. The higher the fan speed, the more air thrust it can generate. We recommend that you look for a pedestal fan with variable fan speed so that you can vary the air thrust as per your requirement. Note – The speed of a pedestal fan is measured in RPM (Rotations per minute) and most pedestal fans come with a fan speed anywhere between 1300 to 2100 RPM.
5. Power Consumption
Considering the rising energy prices, it is important to ensure that the pedestal fan you buy consumes minimal energy. An energy-efficient fan will not only help you save on your energy bills but it will also contribute to the environment by reducing the environmental woes of high power consumption. One such energy-efficient pedestal fan that you must check out is the Ferrari by Luminous India. It consumes 145 watts of power.
6. Noise Levels
A common misconception about pedestal fans is that the higher the air delivery, the more noise they make. Well, that’s not true at all. Market leaders such as Luminous India use the latest technology in their pedestal fans that make them next to noiseless. So if you have been procrastinating your pedestal fan buying decision for this reason, check out Luminous India’s wide range of low-noise pedestal fans.
Last Word
Price is an important factor when it comes to buying a pedestal fan or any other product. We, however, suggest that one should look at the price to value and not just the price of the pedestal fan. The reason is that once people get trapped in the price war, they often forget to focus on the performance aspect. We, therefore, suggest that you check out Luminous India pedestal fans as they offer superior performance at reasonable prices. Luminous is one of the market leaders in the home electricals space and you can rest assured about the quality of the products and the after-sales support that they offer.
