FAQs
What exactly is a fan controller?
A fan controller is used to control the operation of mechanical ventilation systems, such as extractor fans. They are designed to remove moisture and odours from bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where excess humidity can build up over time. A speed control dial or switch is usually used to quickly and easily change settings and increase or decrease fan speed.
How does a fan controller work?
A fan controller can enable external mechanical switches such as Ecotronic, HumidiSwitch, and ThermoSwitch to control the fan. For instance, when the humidity level in the room reaches a certain set point, the fan controller will activate the extractor fan and continue to run it until the humidity level drops below the set point. This can apply to temperature range too, or whenever periodic ventilation in a room is required.
Some fan controllers can also be integrated with light switches so that the fan will automatically turn on when the light is switched on. Of course, each fan control is different so get in touch with our team if you need a hand finding the right one for your needs.
What is the benefit of using a fan controller?
Improves air quality
A fan controller can improve indoor air quality by keeping rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens well-ventilated. This can help to reduce the risk of mould growth and prevent damage from excess moisture associated with condensation and humidity, particularly after baths, showers or cooking.
Removes odour
Fan control makes it quick and easy to improve the air quality in kitchens and bathrooms by removing troublesome odours from the room.
Noise reduction
By selecting a lower fan speed, you can reduce the noise associated with a higher speed. This is useful in smaller spaces or houses where noise can travel easily, especially at night when a quiet environment is preferred.
Extend the lifespan of your fan
If you run a fan at a high speed over a long period of time, it is more likely to experience wear and tear. The ability to vary the fan speed can help to extend their lifespan and reduce the need for replacements.
What features should I look for in a fan controller?
Models in our range include a variety of useful features such as multiple speed settings and manual or automatic adjustment. For instance, some fan controllers use temperature or humidity sensors to measure changes in atmosphere to start the fan automatically.
Be sure to check if your fan controller needs professional installation before you buy to ensure safe and effective operation.
