Oscillating wall fans are ideal for rooms with limited floor space. These air circulators can cover a wider area than regular fans if mounted high on the wall. While they're also good for homes, mounted fans are more common in offices, commercial venues, public buildings, and production plants. Staples® has a varied inventory of oscillating portable fans, as well as other cooling solutions.

Find the Right Oscillating Wall Fans for Your Business
Wall fans come in different sizes and the right one depends on where you wish to use it. Generally, larger fans put out more air than smaller ones. It is better to run a large model at its lowest speed than to leave a small fan running at full speed. However, a wall fan should not be so large as to get in the way and restrict movement. Industrial models are usually larger and have better build quality than home and office units.

Consider Mounting Options When Shopping for Oscillating Wall Fans
Pick a model with a bundled mounting bracket that is suitable for your wall. To ensure the air circulator has enough space to fully rotate, you should select a unit with an adjustable head. By angling the head off the wall, the fan can blow downward or parallel to the floor rather than over the heads of users.

Convenient Features to Look for in Oscillating Wall Fans
While an oscillating head increases the coverage of a wall fan, you may sometimes need to focus the breeze in one direction. To do so, you need to be able to switch off the oscillating feature. Choose a model with a lockable head that provides directional cooling. Most fans in this category come with a remote control since users often install them out of reach, however, manual onboard controls are helpful as well. A timer is another convenient feature to have. This saves power consumption and extends the lifespan of the appliance by preventing it from running longer than intended.

How Many Speed Settings Do Oscillating Wall Fans Need?
Most have two or three-speed settings. While it is possible to have more, these are simpler and provide enough differences in airflow to satisfy most users.

How Do You Compare the Performance of Oscillating Wall Fans?
To find out whether a wall-mounted oscillating fan is powerful enough to cool your office, look for its CFM rating. CFM, or cubic feet per minute, measures rate of airflow and determines how quickly a fan can circulate air around a room. To measure the volume of your office in cubic feet, multiply its length and breadth by its height. Look for an oscillating fan that can move cool air around that space every 5 minutes or faster.

Do Oscillating Wall Fans Have a Higher Power Consumption Than Pedestal Fans?
No. A wall fan looks every bit like a pedestal fan without the base. Both air circulators use the same kind of motor. Most wall fans meant for homes and offices have rated power consumption levels below 50 watts.
