Fans + Heaters

A tower fan is a tall, vertical fan that is compact and space-saving. It draws air from the base and expels it through vents or grills on the front or sides. Tower fans are known for their oscillation feature, multiple speed settings, quiet operation, and some models come with a remote control and timer function. They are commonly used for cooling or air circulation in bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and other indoor spaces.

The size of the fan needed to cool your living room depends on various factors, including the square footage of the room, ceiling height, insulation, and the layout of the space. While it's best to perform a detailed calculation, a general rule of thumb is to consider the airflow capacity of the fan, often measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), in relation to the room size.

For a living room:

Measure the square footage of the room by multiplying the length and width.

Determine the recommended CFM for the room. As a rough estimate, you can use the following guidelines:

For rooms up to 75 square feet: Aim for a fan with a CFM of 1,000 to 1,500.
For rooms between 76 to 144 square feet: Aim for a fan with a CFM of 1,500 to 3,000.
For larger rooms, consider using multiple fans or a larger fan with higher CFM.
Consider ceiling height and adjust the CFM accordingly. For rooms with higher ceilings, it's recommended to choose a fan with a higher CFM to ensure sufficient air movement throughout the space.

Keep in mind that these guidelines are general and can vary based on personal preferences, climate, and other factors. It's also important to consider the fan's speed settings and adjustability, as well as any additional cooling sources in the room, such as air conditioning or natural airflow.
