To understand why people put Adjustable Pedestal Fans in the corners first, you have to experience summer in India. On​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ a hot day, just a little wind can change the whole game. 

A pedestal stand fan has everything you’ll need when the heat gets too much: cooling, portability and energy saving.

The fans at hand aren't merely for the standard purpose of cooling as they fuse the features of height adjustment, strong force of air, and the possibility of carrying them into one device.

They are simply the ultimate means of providing the air exchange needed and of making the environment comfortable.

Reasons for an Office to Have Adjustable Pedestal Fans

Normally, offices come equipped with central air conditioning, temperature pockets and areas with no air movement occur quite frequently. Thus, the adjustable pedestal fan becomes highly effective in solving these problems:

Targeted Personal Comfort

That’s the reason why there are always different opinions about the setting of a thermostat. 

A pedestal fan enables employees in different working places to aim and send a concentrated flow of cold air to their own desks so as to achieve comfort without the necessity of changing the main AC.

Improved Air Circulation

Good air movement is the main factor in the health of a shared space. 

Pedestal fans that are mainly used with the option of oscillation not only serve the purpose of blowing air. 

They also do so by using the heated air they have already circulated ostentatiously, thereby leading to the air being fresher as well as the space more pleasant.

Cost-Effective Supplement

By simply employing a fan for the more efficient circulation of the cool air coming from the AC unit you will be allowed to increase the central thermostat by a few degrees which will result in a decrease of energy costs without any loss of comfort.

Portability for Flexible Layouts

The major part of offices is characterized by frequent rearranging of the layout. 

A pedestal fan can be conveniently shifted to the next cubicle, in a conference room, or at the desk of a temporary workplace.

Reduced Noise (Modern Designs)

As a rule, the new models generally have a quiet mode that is also called "silent" mode and thus, they do not interrupt or distract users working in the same room with ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌them.

Benefits​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ of Adjustable Pedestal Fans

These fans have a compelling set of features that make them a class higher than standard table or floor fans:

Customizable Height

The most important feature. The stand is actually extendable. You can just lift it up and get cooling at a higher altitude.

Wide-Area Cooling (Oscillation)

With the help of the oscillating head, the fan is able to move air over the entire length of the room thus evenly distributing the air in a large space that can be a living room, conference hall, or open-plan office.

Powerful Air Delivery

You may not know this but fans have a certain metric that tells you how much air they can blow out. It’s the ‘CMM’, which stands for Cubic Metres per Minute. Now, the standard CMM is 40-100. Go for higher digits if you want more cooling.

Energy Efficiency

These fans are kind of low maintenance in this sense. They require very little wattage, like 50-120. So, they end up saving you a lot more money than ACs would.

Portability

The relatively lightweight but sturdy construction of these fans makes it possible for them to be easily moved from one room to another, thereby providing the required cooling at the right place and time.

How​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ to Select the Best Pedestal Stand Fan

If you didn’t know what to look for in adjustable pedestal fans, you will after reading this:

Air Delivery/Motor

  • The higher the CMM/RPM, the stronger the air flows. BLDC (Brushless DC) motors are the best combination of powerful airflow and maximum energy efficiency.
  • For example, Victura Airmotion stand fans come with 75-110 CMM.

Adjustability

  • The example can be the height of the stand with vertical angle adjustment and rotation (preferably 90 degrees or more).
  • This helps to direct air at any height and thus covers the entire room.

Noise Level

  • Check for "Low Noise" or "Silent Mode" indications.
  • This is very important for bedrooms, nurseries, or quiet office environments, where noise can distract.

Blade/Sweep Size

  • Big fan for the room, and small for targeted cooling. 3-blade for strong, focused air; 5-blade for a quieter, gentler flow.
  • For example, Victura Airmotion fans have 400mm sweep.

Durability & Base

  • Heavy, sturdy base for stability, and good quality materials (metal or strong plastic).
  • It is a way of ensuring that there is no wobbling at high speeds and that the fan will be reliable for a long time to ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌come.

Pedestal​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Stand Fan Placement Tips for Optimal Cooling

If you want to get the most out of your fan, you should place it in the right spot, that is, especially in a room that lacks fresh air.

Utilize Cross-Ventilation

Position a fan near either a window or a door that is open in order to facilitate the escape of hot air from the room. At the same time, keep a window open on the other side to allow fresh air to get in. 

This way you will have a very efficient cross-breeze.

Combine with Air Conditioning

Put a pedestal fan to work at the coolest place of the room (normally, this would be the air conditioning vent) and set the fan up to circulate the cool air to the rest of the room. 

This will make the AC use less and cool the room more evenly.

Mind the Height

Set the height so the air coming from the fan will be a little bit above or at the level of the people that you are cooling

For instance, the air would come from above the sofa or office desk height, thus, people will be able to enjoy a refreshing breeze instead of a direct and, probably, unpleasant cold air.

Don't Let the Pathway be Blocked

Make sure that the fan is not blocked by large pieces of furniture, by curtains, or by plants along the path of the fan's oscillation. This path should be free to achieve the most significant air delivery and the widest coverage.

Indirect Airflow is Best

To obtain a soft, complete, and uniform cooling effect, turn the fan a little bit upwards and direct it towards either the ceiling or a wall. 

The air will then come out and be reflected by the ceiling or wall, thus it will create a more ambient and comfortable atmosphere as it will not be a direct draft.
