Fanco Horizon DC Questions

andysgalant4y · Horizon DC

Hi, I have a couple of questions, 1, is the fan suited for outdoor/coastal installation in a gazebo with no walls. 2, can the fan be supplied with a remote and not a wall plate. (its being installed in an outdoor location and all switch gear must be IP rated/water resistant) 3, will the fan retain the last used setting when switched off at the wall. 4, how will it cope with cross winds when running (breeze only) Thank you in advance for your response

I have an outdoor deck which is covered by a balcony above out to 2.2 metres. The ceiling is around 2.9 metres high so I was wondering whether the Horizon 64” would be a good option as it seems to have the highest airflow? Is it available in Australia with the wall mount kit.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Horizon actually comes with two rod lengths in the box, so you can choose how high you’d like to install it without buying accessories. Australian standards require for the fans blades to be at least 2.1m above the ground, but you will still feel the breeze from a fan if it’s a little higher. We’ve found that we get the most out of fans if their blades sit somewhere between 2.1 and 2.5m above the ground. For your situation, using the shorter length rod in the Horizon box will put the base of your fan around 2.525m above the ground, and the longer one will place the fan about 2.4 from the ground. If you’d like it a little closer, you could purchase the 90cm longer rod as an accessory and have your electrician cut it down to the exact length you want. We're working as hard as we can to make the model with wall control available to our customers. At this stage though, we don't have a concrete timeline. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing service@fanco.com.au .

Hi I have a room around 6 x 7 metres and it includes living, dining and kitchen. I was wondering if the Fanco HOrizon 64 inch would be big enough to cool the room or if I should get 3 smaller ones? thanks for your help, Fiona

if you call one of the suppliers they should be able to answer this question to you. We have the horizon in nearly all of our rooms and they are really effective.

Hi Fiona, Thanks for reaching out, it sounds like quite a big room! There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to ceiling fan sizes, but we can give you a couple of tips. Generally speaking, a fan covers an area around 2.5 times its diameter. So although the 64” Horizon provides coverage to a big space, it won’t cover the whole room. The key with any size ceiling fan is placing it in the area where you will get the most use out of it – and the advantage of going with 3 smaller fans is that you get to choose 3 areas that you use a lot. It’s probably a good idea to measure out 64” vs the smaller sizes in your space, so that you get an idea of what it will look like. Thanks also to Julian for suggesting that you get in touch with our resellers, this is a great idea!
