Especially the pedestal fans which are engineered to deliver powerful airflow while complementing modern interior spaces — making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and even semi-outdoor spaces. To truly maximize their efficiency and aesthetic appeal, placement and installation matters the most. Here’s your guide to getting it right!

Why Choose GreatWhite TPW Fans?

• Premium Build & Finish: All the TPW fans in the Airus range feature sleek, contemporary designs with durable materials that elevate any space.

• Sturdy & Powerful: Engineered for sturdy operation without compromising on airflow — these are perfect for homes that value their peace and superior performance.

Best Practices for Installing Pedestal Fans

• Choose the Right Height
  Ensure the fan head is positioned at least 4 feet above seating level. This allows optimal air circulation without direct drafts.
• Avoid Obstructions
  Place the fan in an open area, away from furniture or curtains that may block airflow. Corners can work if the fan oscillates freely.
• Mind the Power Source
  Position the fan close to a socket to avoid trailing wires. For GreatWhite TPW fans, the cord length is generous, but neat cable management enhances safety and aesthetics.
• Secure the Base
  Regular inspections and adherence to ISI standards are crucial for long-term safety.
• Angle for Airflow
  Tilt the fan head slightly upward or downward to allow the air to circulate across the room as per your need.

Placement Tips for Different Rooms

Room Type	Suggested Placement	Benefit
Living Room	Near seating area, angled toward center	Uniform cooling during gatherings
Bedroom	Opposite the bed	Gentle airflow for restful sleep
Kitchen	Near entrance or window, away from stove	Keeps air fresh and reduces humidity
Balcony/Veranda	Corner placement, facing inward	Circulates air as per the balcony or veranda area

Maintenance Tips for Long-Term Performance
In today’s homes, where aesthetics meet functionality, earthing is not just a technical necessity—it’s a silent guardian. Whether you're installing TPW fans, modular switches or high-end lighting systems, a robust earthing setup ensures that your home remains safe, efficient and future-ready. By prioritizing earthing solutions, you're not just protecting your appliances—you're safeguarding your family.

• Clean the Grill and Blades Every 2–3 Weeks
  Ensure smooth movement and prevent wear by inspecting these joints monthly. Lubricate if needed.
• Store Indoors During Monsoon
  Protect electrical components from moisture damage by keeping the fan indoors during heavy rains or high humidity.
• Lubricate Moving Parts
  Apply a light lubricant to oscillation and tilt joints every few months to maintain fluid motion and reduce friction.
• Inspect the Power Cord
  Look for signs of wear or fraying. Replace immediately if damaged to avoid electrical hazards.
• Tighten Screws & Joints
  Vibrations from daily use can loosen fittings. A quick monthly check ensures stability and safety.
• Use a Dust Cover When Not in Use
  Prevent dust accumulation and protect the motor housing with a breathable cover during off-season or travel.
• Avoid Overuse During Peak Humidity
  Give the fan short breaks during high humidity to prevent overheating and prolong motor life.
• Schedule a Check-Up Annually
  For homes using fans intensively, an annual inspection by an authorized technician ensures optimal performance and safety.
