Fans, heating and air treatment buying guide
Create the perfect home environment with our range of fans, heaters and air treatment
Whether you’re looking to stay cool throughout the summer, or keep your house well heated throughout winter, this guide will make sure you choose the right product to match your needs.
As well as ensuring your home will always be kept at the ideal temperature, we will also guide you through the latest in air treatment to ensure your home environment is always a healthy and safe one.
Fans
Fans offer a simple way to cool the air around you, circulating air to maintain a comfortable temperature with an instant breeze. They vary from straight-forward desk fans, through to more advanced models with bladeless technology. Premium models often offer oscillating functions, variable speed setting, timers and remote controls.
Air conditioners
Air conditioners work by extracting warm air from a room and re-distributing it as cool air, expelling excess heat from the appliance with a hose which should be vented through a wall or window. An internal compressor draws in hot air and uses a cooling unit to rapidly reduce the air temperature. The now cooler air is then blown out, bringing down the overall temperature in the room.
Air purifiers
Pollutants in the air inside your home, including pollen, pet dander and dust particles, can be harmful to your health, especially when you consider that we spend on average 90% of our time indoors. Our homes are often far more polluted than the air outdoors. Air purifiers work to improve the quality of this air by removing and trapping airborne bacteria and impurities, providing a healthier and safer environment for you and your family. Air purifiers are ideal for allergy sufferers who could be affected by the level of pollutants in the air, which can exaggerate asthmatic symptoms and allergies, such as hay-fever.
Dehumidifiers
Excess moisture in the air can lead to damp and mould, which can have serious implications on your health if left untreated. Dehumidifiers work by extracting liquid from the air, preventing mould from forming on your walls. They are also ideal for drying damp clothes - place it next to your washing and enjoy dry clothes, quicker. Some models have additional setting to further speed up the drying process.
Humidifiers
Unlike dehumidifiers, Humidifiers are designed to introduce moisture into the air in your home and ensure that the air in your home is never too dry. Keeping the air hydrated is vital because air that is too dry can compromise your natural defences against colds and allergies. Your skin can also benefit from moisture in the air - keeping your skin hydrated combats dryness and itchiness.
Heaters
Our range of heaters offer the perfect solutions to keep your home warm and comfortable when the temperature outside drops. Portable heaters come in all shapes and sizes, whether you’re looking for a quick fix fan heater to provide an immediate blast of hot air or a radiator to heat larger rooms with more natural heat.
