7 Types of Fans Popular for Residential Use in India

Fans are an indispensable addition to every Indian household. Whether it is about beating the scorching summer heat, enjoying the wet but pleasant monsoon climate, or making the most of cooling winters, fans are always the best companions for all seasons. With rotating blades, a meticulously engineered motor, and a look that perfectly complements your home's interior, these appliances make a smart choice for your home. They circulate air for optimum ventilation, temperature regulation and to keep your indoor environment cleaner and more pleasant. While ceiling fans remain the most popular, there are several other types of fans you must know about. Let us discover the 7 different types of fans at Polycab that you can bring home today.

1. Ceiling Fans

The most commonly found fans in an Indian household are ceiling fans, which are the ones that are mounted on your room’s ceiling. They are backed by engineered motors and powered by hub-mounted rotating blades, allowing optimum air circulation throughout the room. You can find different types of ceiling fans in the market, two of which are an AC motor fan and the other, a more efficient BLDC motor fan. AC motor ceiling fans are traditional fans that might be affordable but have a slightly bulky design. BLDC ceiling fans, on the other hand, are more compact, energy efficient and available in more sophisticated designs. Furthermore, at Polycab, you can find designer and more contemporary options that come with a remote control to enhance your comfort and convenience.

1. Wall Fans

Wall fans are strategically mounted on walls and do not occupy any floor space, making them an ideal choice for smaller rooms. They come with an oscillating feature that ensures maximum air delivery with wide area coverage. At Polycab, you can find a multitude of these wall fans in various colours, sizes, and wattages.

2. Table Fans

A table fan, as the name implies, is a compact and versatile fan designed to sit comfortably on any table, desk, or sturdy surface. Ideal for smaller spaces, it offers excellent spot circulation and can be adjusted to either stay stationary or oscillate as needed. Its lightweight, portable design makes it perfect for use almost anywhere, providing efficient cooling wherever you need it. At Polycab, you can explore table fans varying in sizes, wattages, colours, and blades to find the one that aligns with your requirements and preferences.

3. Pedestal Fans

Pedestal fans, or stand-up fans, are tall oscillating fans mounted on a sturdy pedestal with an adjustable rod. They are designed with an adjustable height, such that they can be placed directly on the floor. They offer broad air distribution thanks to their oscillation feature. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, these fans come in various sizes, colours, and designs to suit large spaces. Some contemporary-style pedestal fans at Polycab also include remote controls, offering you the convenience of adjusting the speed and oscillation without having to move from your chair or couch.

4. Exhaust Fans

Exhaust fans are essential for effective ventilation, removing unpleasant odours, heat, moisture, and harmful fumes from the area of installation. This makes them an excellent choice for areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, they help in controlling humidity levels, thus reducing the risk of mould growth. If you wish to install one in your bathroom or kitchen, Polycab exhaust fans are the ones to count on. With optimum air delivery, varied wattages, multiple colour options and high-performance construction, our exhaust fans are destined to be your wisest investments.

5. Air Circulator

Air circulators are particularly designed to circulate air throughout your room. While traditional fans blow air in one direction, air circulators distribute air in a circular pattern, that is, in multiple directions across the room. They are known for covering a larger area and providing enhanced cooling, making your room more comfortable, the ambience more pleasant, and the air quality better.

6. Farrata Fans

Farrata fans are just another type of pedestal fan known for their versatility, portability and efficiency. Their lightweight and portable construction makes them incredibly adaptable and can be used for air circulation in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Their adjustable height, tilt feature and targeted cooling abilities make them a perfect choice for your home. With different blade designs, wattages, and size options, our collection of Farrata fans is destined to cater to your needs and preferences.
