Wall Mounted Fan Buyer’s Guide
Trying to work, sleep or even hold a conversation in a room that’s hot and stuffy can be exceedingly difficult, but with many British homes lacking air conditioning (as, let’s face it, it doesn’t often get very hot!), we’re all searching for an easy way to cool our homes come summer.
A wall mounted fan is a fantastic option, offering a welcome blast of cool air when it all gets a bit much. There’s a huge range on the market and, if you don’t want your fan to break down on the hottest day of the year, it’s important you make the right decision.

Design
Most wall mounted fans boast a similar design, although the number of blades and the size does vary. Compact fans have less power but are great for small rooms or those without much free wall space. Large fans with a range of speed settings are best for big rooms.
Fans are usually controlled by a dial, buttons, pull cord or all of the above! Many come with a remote control so you can adjust the speed or turn the fan off from a distance.
Speed Settings
Fans usually come with a few speed settings, with large fans often having a low, medium and high setting. Lower budget and smaller fans may have just 1 or 2 speeds.
Performance
The performance will depend on the size of the motor and number of blades. Fans with a large motor and 3 or more blades are best suited to large rooms, while those with just 2 blades and a small motor are great for desks or small spaces.
Noise Level
If you plan on having your wall mounted fan in a bedroom or study, the noise level is important. The sound is measured in decibels, and if you value your beauty sleep, a noise level of under 55 decibels is recommended.
Wall Mounted Fans FAQ
How to install a wall mounted fan?
Wall mounted fans are generally very easy to install. To start, select the preferred height, keeping in mind the aesthetics of the room and the proximity to the plug socket. Mark the region using a pencil.
Attach the brackets (often included) onto the wall. The brackets can be mounted using a power drill and strong screws. Once the brackets are safely attached, mount the fan.
Once the fan is mounted and secure, plug it into the wall and switch it on.
