Wall Mounted Fan Installation
Wall Mounted Fan Installation
For homes that lack proper ventilation, installing a wall-mounted fan may be the best way to go. Many professionals recommend these fans over the others due to the fact that they are generally cheap and do not require much for them to be installed in a house or office.
Mounting a fan on to the wall will involve following these steps:
1. Select the Preferred Height
Although this is in many cases a matter of what you like, it is always vital to consider essential factors such as children’s safety, visual effect, and air circulation when deciding where to place your wall-fan. When you settle on what you consider to be the ideal height, you will need to mark the region using a pencil or special marker.
2. Find an Electronic Stud Finder
An electronic stud finder is a tool that is relied upon by many professionals to help them detect the sturdy stanchions that may be inside the walls of your residence. You need to ensure that the fan is hang using these studs.
3. Use the Mounting Brackets to Hang the Fan
Once you find these studs, you will need to begin by attaching the brackets (mounting) on to your home wall. You will use this brackets to attach the fan to the wall. It is possible to mount the brackets using a power drill and very strong screws. Having mounted the fan, you will need to try and apply pressure on it to determine whether it has been properly secured.
4. Plug in Your Fan
Having completed the mounting process, all that remains now is to plug the fan into a power socket. Ideally, you should ensure that you have mounted it close to an electrical socket. If there is none close by, you can always use a lengthy plug cable to power the fan.
