Ceiling fans have a lot to offer if they are carefully selected and installed.

Choose the right blade size.

Want a cooling effect that doesn’t ruffle papers or other items in your home? Opt for larger blade sizes. They offer comparable cooling at a lower velocity than smaller blades. Don’t worry about the number of blades. This will not affect performance.

Properly size and locate fans.

Fans should be installed 7-9 feet above floors, 10-12 inches below ceilings and at least 18-24 inches from walls. Opt for 52-inch fans for rooms up to 400 square feet, 44-inch fans up to 225 square feet, and 42-inch fans up to 144 square feet. Rooms longer than 18 feet need multiple fans.

Find the right features.

Selecting easy-to-use models will encourage frequent fan use and the subsequent lowering of energy costs. You should carefully consider features and usage needs such as light intensity, fan speeds, noise level during operation, pull chains, and remote controls.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

Splurging a little on ceiling fans will earn you a model with quieter, smoother operation, more fan speeds, less issues, and longer warranty than bargain basement alternatives.

Ensure safe installation.

Professional installation as recommended by the manufacturer is essential to fan life, warranty, and most importantly, the safety of you and your family. Fans can weigh as much as 50 pounds! Safe installation should include an appropriate UL-listed electrical box made specifically for use with ceiling fans, secure mounting to a ceiling joist (or the use of a mounting bracket), and proper alignment and balancing.

Amid the Wuhan Coronavirus (now renamed as COVID-19), many Malaysian are getting more cautious and mindful about disinfecting their homes and practising good hygiene.

However, just disinfection and cleaning of common spaces are not enough. Viruses and bacteria will still be reproduced because of human activity.

One other measure we can take, at home or in the office, is to have better air circulation and ventilation.

A Harvard University Professor has recently written on Financial Times that good air ventilation can help with virus and bacteria prevention. The American Lung Association supports that as well.

How Ceiling Fans Can Help At Home & In The Office

Almost every house in Malaysia has a good air-conditioning system, but some air-conditioners recycle indoor air.

What this means is that viruses and bacteria in the air of an air-conditioned room might stay in the room for a longer time as compared to a well-ventilated room.

That’s where turning on a ceiling fan, especially at home during the day, can help with virus prevention.

Sure, the weather is hot and humid in Malaysia, but taking care of our health and lungs is very important as well.

Ceiling fans will “renew” the air in your home and other common spaces by circulating indoor and outdoor air, making sure you get fresh air.

Of course, practising good hygiene and disinfecting your home is still equally important amid the COVID-19 climate.
