As mentioned above, a wall-mounted fan can prove to be a better option than ceiling fans at some places like restaurants, kitchens, garages, outdoor patios, etc. Now, do know that every outdoor location mentioned before differs from the others. So you’d need to check for factors like size, available space, speed, oscillation, adjustable angles, etc. before you buy a fan. Consult a technician to guide you to find your best match.

Just like ceiling fans, wall-mounted fans come in different sizes. Depending on how large the area is, you can choose the right size of fans or the number of fans you need to install. For a normal room, a fan with 400 mm sweep would be perfect.

This is one of the most important factors after the size of the fan that you should check. It’s always good to have a fan with variable speeds. Because different people have different inclinations for fan speeds. Some may like to run it on full speed throughout the year, while some may like to use the fan on low speed during winters. When you have variable speeds, it’s always more convenient.

Though you wouldn’t expect much features from a wall-mounted fan, you’d be surprised by some high-tech fans in the market. For example, the new Vilaxo wall-mounted fans in India come with features like compact & powerful BLDC motor, 2X run-time on inverters, specially designed aerodynamic blades for noise reduction, etc. Additionally, they also happen to be India’s most energy-efficient fans with up to 50% energy savings! So before buying an ordinary fan, do check if you can get features like these. After all, there’s no harm in having additional advantages, right?

As far as domestic usage is concerned, lightweight fans are ideal, provided the material isn’t weak. Such fans are normally made of plastic. However, do ensure that you are buying a fan that is made from the best quality material.
