Ceiling Fans

Types

• Standard 1200 mm fan — the common choice for rooms up to about 12 x 12 feet such as offices, classrooms and wards.
• 1400 mm and 1500 mm fans — larger sweep for halls, shops, workshops and godowns where one fan must cover more floor.
• BLDC (energy-saving) fans — use a brushless motor and draw far less power than conventional fans, so they suit rooms where fans run for long hours.
• High-speed or heavy-duty fans — built for dusty or hot spaces such as factories and kitchens, with stronger bearings and higher air delivery.
• Decorative and remote-controlled fans — chosen for reception areas, conference rooms and homes where appearance matters.

What to check before buying

• Sweep size and air delivery (CMM) matched to room area and ceiling height; use a down-rod in high ceilings.
• BIS certification and, for energy-saving models, the BEE star rating label.
• Power consumption in watts at full speed, because this decides running cost across many fans.
• Motor winding (copper or aluminium), ball-bearing quality and capacitor type.
• Warranty period, availability of local service and spare parts, and a GST invoice with serial numbers.
• Installation scope: hooks, down-rods, regulators and wiring should be quoted clearly.

Who buys them

Offices, schools, hospitals, shops, factories, housing societies, contractors, NGOs and government offices.

Frequently asked questions

How many ceiling fans do I need for a room?

A fan with a 1200 mm sweep covers roughly 120 to 150 square feet. For larger halls, use more than one fan or a bigger sweep rather than a single oversized unit.

Is a BLDC fan worth it for an office?

Where fans run most of the day, the lower power draw usually repays the higher purchase cost over time. For rarely used rooms a standard star-rated fan is often enough.

Which fan suits a dusty workshop?

Choose a heavy-duty fan with sealed bearings and a sturdy blade. Common brands include Crompton, Havells, Orient, Usha and Bajaj.
