It is hard to put your children asleep, not in the cold winter months, but in the hot summer. These days, due to excessive hotness, most children find it pretty tough to do so. But you can make your child cool and comfortable at night too, by installing a ceiling fan in his room.
Ceiling fans really help to circulate air, so we all feel cooler and calm. With the right fan for your kid’s room, you could be sure there is comfort for that much-needed playtime during the day and sweet dreams at night.
When it comes to choosing a ceiling fan for your kid’s bedroom, there are a myriad of options available, including AC and DC ceiling fans, fans with lights, and more. In this post, we’re sharing our thoughts on choosing the right ceiling fan for your kid’s room, to help make your decision easier.
How well the size of the fan can match the dimensions of the room would also be an ideal selection of a fan. The blade span varies again here; whereas for smaller rooms up to 13 square meters, one would prefer a blade span for the fan in the range of 90 to 110 cm, and a larger room of dimension 13 to 25 square meters would prefer an even higher blade span of 120 to 130 cm or more.
The ceiling height also determines the choice of fan. For rooms that have low ceilings such that they are below 2.5 meters in height, a flush-mount or hugger fan is perfect in ensuring safety and maintaining the appropriate clearances. A fan with a down rod can be useful in settings where the ceilings are higher to set up the blades at an ideal height for efficient air circulation.
In fact, the design and style of the fan will be an excellent factor that makes the beauty of your child’s bedroom. There are designs for fans: from sleek to modern or playful and colorful, so you can see which one will fit in with their household decor. A fan for the younger kids would then be one that has had fun themes and bright colors; meanwhile, older kids thrive with neutral or minimalist designs that are gradually being included in their tastes. A fan with colors matching the scheme of the room or a theme you know best in the child himself contributes to making the environment more personalized and attractive.
If you are opting for a fan for the child’s room, then you will have to take a decision whether it is AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current) motor. DC fans consume much less power than a normal AC motor, with an extreme 70% of power consumption. They are less noisy and have higher speed options, which will undoubtedly be a boon in a child’s room where noise has to be minimized.
AC motors are less efficient, but probably cheaper and still operate reliably. If energy efficiency and quiet operation are the most important considerations, again especially for nighttime use, then a DC motor fan is probably the better choice.
The noise level of the fan is particularly an important consideration for a child’s bedroom, where quiet operating is a necessity if they are to get a good night’s sleep. Fans that have quality, well-balanced motors tend to be much quieter. Above all, look for models that are specifically marketed as “quiet fans” or have a low decibel rating. DC motor fans are generally quieter than the AC version, making them perfect for bedrooms. Also, check if there’s any wobbling and/or vibration that can increase noise levels over time. A fan working quietly at multiple speed levels will allow comfort without disturbing your child’s sleep.
Most ceiling fans already come with lighting, a wonderful feature many kids would enjoy at home. Because the fixture for the light is packaged with the fan, you save some space because of the functions in which the item serves: it cools your room and does provide some sort of illumination. Choose whichever fits your preference when you need to choose a fan that has an accompanying light. Other fans feature dimmable LEDs, which are energy-efficient and provide a very cozy feel to the room at night time. In case your child’s room does not have bright overhead lighting, then using a fan with a light attached could become convenient since it will serve the purpose of being comfortable as well as visible.
Energy efficiency is imperative when selecting a fan: especially for napping or sleeping at night in a kid’s room where the fan would continue running for long periods of time. Some of them have an energy-efficient rating, especially those fans that feature a DC motor; those consume much less power compared to the AC models.
Energy-efficient fans have LED lighting too that reduces the energy consumed in comparison with a standard incandescent bulb. This will decrease power consumption and it is an efficient device in overall efficiency.
The most efficient energy-saving ceiling fans will save money on electricity bills and contribute to the efficiency of an eco-friendly home, among issues that responsible and environmentally friendly families may consider.
Use a smart feature ceiling fan to maximize the convenience that it brings and to live with modern functionality. Smart fans allow operation through an app, or voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and can even be pre-programmed to change speeds and the lighting throughout based on set schedules. It is very useful in a child’s room, for example where the fan can keep comfortable temperatures if the child is sleeping, or even adjust without waking them up. Some smart fans come in addition with motion sensors that start the fan whenever anyone enters the room or a temperature sensor that keeps self-adjusting the speed of the fan in conformity with room temperature and thus optimizes comfort and convenience.
