What to know before you buy a fan
Summer is here,and that means more heat. Using a fan in your home can increase air circulation and help make your home feel cooler.
Decide before you buy what you need from a fan, and where it will go in your space. Fans come in many shapes and sizes, meaning that it’s not a one fits all.
Before you purchase a fan, take a moment to look at your room. How big is it? How tall is the ceiling? How many windows are there? Where do you want to set the fan – on the floor, on a table, on the ceiling, or mounted on a wall? All of these factors can influence which fan you purchase.
