As soon as summer rolls around, we start thinking about how to stay cool in our homes and apartments. Many Americans cool off using fans, air conditioners, and inflatable pools. But one of the best ways to stay sweat-free and cool indoors is using a tower fan. Unlike box fans and tabletop fans, a tower fan is taller and slimmer and takes up little space.
Tower fans help circulate air, making a room feel less hot and stuffy. They also work well with air conditioners. And because a tower fan moves cool air around and helps it circulate, you’ll use your air conditioner a lot less.
You can carry a tower fan around the house to prevent rooms from feeling like saunas. It uses less energy than an air conditioner, and with proper use, will help reduce your electricity bill.
How Do Tower Fans Work?
Unlike traditional fans that slice up air horizontally, tower fans cause the air to move vertically. They suck in air and push it through a vertical shaft towards the air guide and it exits through the exit vent. An air blower pushes the air outside and dispenses it evenly throughout a room.
Benefits of a Tower Fan
1. Stylish
Most tower fans have awesome designs! Their understated designs work well with any décor. They add style and functionality to a living room, bedroom, or an office. An old pedestal fan can make your home look less modern or your office less professional, but a tower fan will elevate the style.
2. Space-Saving
Tower fans are slim and sleek. Even if you live in a small apartment with limited space, you can easily find a spot for them. You can place one in the corner of your living room to keep house guests cool in summer. You can also use one in your office cubicle without cluttering your workspace. And when temperatures start to go down, you can easily store your tower fan until the next year.
3. Quieter
Traditional fans have exposed blades that produce a sound as they move. They also feature a top-heavy design which can cause squeaking, clicking, and other unpleasant sounds. But a tower fan is different. Any noise that’s produced by the unit is muffled by its housing. Because of this, it’s quieter than most fans.
4. Feature-Packed
Tower fans have many awesome features thanks to their design. Their real strength is their extra functions. Some provide air purification, lighting, and have add-ons that make them more than just fans. Some models are also fitted with HEPA filters and ionizers which purify air before they blow it out, creating a cleaner and more refreshing environment.
5. Better Balance
Tower fans aren’t as top-heavy as traditional pedestal fans. Their blades are enclosed, giving them better balance. The enclosed blades also make them less fragile. It takes a lot of work to knock over a tower fan! If you have small kids or pets who easily knock things over, consider getting one.
