Q. i would like to purchase a under sink water heater. i want to use normal taps. would i need vented or unvented water heater. many thanks

To supply one or more basins with hot water you should look at the Speedflow range of unvented water heaters. They work unvented which means they can utilise standard taps and come in two different sizes, 10L and 15L depending on the requirement.

Q. Why Buy a Fantasia Fan?

Fantasia fans can be more expensive than others on the market but this can be explained by their many superior qualities. The silicon steel motors are larger, meaning more air movement, and have double sealed bearings to ensure durability and quiet operation. All metal finishes are double lacquered to eliminate tarnishing and all fans are supplied with a 10 year warranty. See our Warranty Registration page for more information.

Q. Do ceiling fans require any special wiring and are they difficult to fit?

A fan with or without lights can be wired into an existing lighting circuit and is a simple DIY job. If you are in any doubt then consult a qualified electrician.

Q. What size fan do I need?

For a room with a standard 8ft ceiling, recommended sizes are as follows:

36" fan for a room upto 12ft x 12ft
42" fan
for a room upto 12ft x 14ft
52" fan
for a room upto 15ft x 15ft
Two fans
will usually be required for a room larger than
15ft x 15ft
For conservatories or south facing rooms we recommend that you increase the fan size relative to the room size to compensate for the higher temperatures reached in these areas.

Q. Are fans noisy and do they wobble?

Some competitors' fans are noisy and wobble because they are made from lower quality materials. Fantasia fans run quietly and, even when fitted with a drop rod, are very stable

Q. Can I buy a light kit at a later date?

All Fantasia fans are light adaptable and a light can be fitted at any time. Wiring connection to the supply must be installed to the manufacturers instructions. A wide selection of light styles and finishes are available to complement almost any decor.

Q. Does the fan require any maintenance or cleaning?

All Fantasia fans have permanently sealed bearings, double lacquered surfaces and do not require maintenance. An occasional light dusting with a soft cloth is all that is required.

All fixings should be checked annually and any that have worked loose should be tightened.

Q. How is the speed of the fan controlled

Most Fantasia fans have an integral pull switch to operate the 3 forward and 3 reverse speeds, with the exception of the Odyssey, Viper and eMotion fans which come complete with Remote Control. In the reverse position the fan re-circulates warm air trapped at ceiling level.

Q. Can fans be operated from a wall control

Fantasia fans can be operated by either a single Wall Control or, if the fan has a light, a double Wall Control/Dimmer. A standard dimmer switch cannot be used to adjust fan speeds.

Q. How much does a fan cost to run?

Fantasia fans run off the standard lighting circuit (5 amp) and are very economical to run, costing approximately 5p for 8 hours at high speed - less than a 100w light bulb.

Q. What is the minimum mounting height for a fan?

The British Standards Institute recommends that the blades should be no less than 7ft 6" from the floor

Q. How do I work out the length of drop rod required when fitting the fan into a conservatory or high ceiling?

The Drop Rod length is determined by the ceiling height. The optimum height from the floor to the blade is between 7ft 6" and 9ft and flush mounted fans will require a Conversion Kit to fit a drop rod

Q. Can fans be installed on a sloping ceiling?

Fans can be installed up to an angle of 40 degrees. A minimum of 6" must be allowed between the tip of the blade and the slope of the ceiling, or any other obstruction.

Q. Is there any room for which a fan is not suitable?

The Bathroom is the only domestic room where we do not recommend a fan to be fitted.

Q. will the remote control 331604 operate the vienna fan 110361?

Yes you can use the remote control 331604 on any of the Fantasia fans.
