The warmer weather reminds us of the importance of good ventilation. Not only does it keep the temperature in your home at a comfortable level, it also removes moisture, smoke, cooking odours and indoor pollutants.
But gone are the days of ugly fans that purely serve a purpose — today there are many options to ensure your ventilation solutions are stylish as well.
When looking for advice on what fan to choose for your project, it’s important to talk to the experts. An Australian-owned family business, Universal Fans has been specialising in ceiling fans, exhaust fans and other ventilation solutions for more than 20 years. By focusing on these products, it has developed a high level of expertise and extensive knowledge to help you find the most appropriate and effective solution for your needs. The personalised approach you’ll receive at Universal Fans is why the company has enormous appeal, not just with consumers and tradespeople, but also with architects, designers, builders and developers.
One of the best-selling products is the beautiful Fanco Infinity ID ceiling fan, which has a low profile and sleek Scandinavian style. Recommended by Choice magazine and popular among designers and specifiers, it is suitable for the indoors and covered outdoor spaces. The motor is covered by warranty in coastal areas, and it has some treatments to withstand coastal weather.
A class leader in terms of efficiency thanks to its DC (direct current) motor that consumes around 30 watts on high speed and just two or three watts on low speed, it offers a range of speeds from powerful high speed to extra-gentle low speed, which is perfect for bedrooms.
The Fanco Infinity ID ceiling fan is available in different sizes and colours, with light or without light, and includes a timer allowing you to switch the fan off automatically after a period of time. It comes with an elegant remote that can be paired with your smartphone or other device (which acts as a backup for your remote), or a hardwired DC wall controller. When using SMART technology, you can operate the ceiling fan or the light from anywhere, anytime, through WiFi.
The models with a light allow you to pick your favourite lighting colour and brightness. This ceiling fan carries a light memory function so that when using the isolation switch, it remembers the last setting of the light. The LED light is long-lasting and has been deliberately designed to be safe and easy to be changed by the user and does not require an electrician.
The Fanco Infinity ID ceiling fan also works in conjunction with air conditioning and heating systems to reduce your environmental footprint. By helping to distribute cool air evenly to all parts of a room, you’ll find you won’t need to set the air conditioning temperature as low as before. The same applies in winter: by using the fan in reverse mode, you can push the warm air down into the room and run your heater a few degrees lower while still feeling the same level of comfort.
Whether you choose the Fanco Infinity ID ceiling fan or another product, Universal Fans — the official national distributor of leading brands Fanco and Claro — carries hundreds of models to suit your needs, design aesthetic and budget. With a showroom in Melbourne and an easy-to-use website, Universal Fans offers fast dispatch and delivery Australia-wide.
