On those days when it’s warm and sticky in the office, you don’t want to sit there in a sweat, one very good solution for this is to use a desk fan.
These come in various sizes and formats, they are powered by various power sources such as mains power, batteries and some are solar powered. If the fan is sited in the right place, you don’t need a very large desk fan to actually cool you down. The breeze when directed at your face will whisk away the thin layer of perspiration and this will create a fairly significant cooling effect straight away. Some of these fans are powered by a USB socket, so can be plugged into your computer, these are lightweight models, and some of them have the ability to adjust the speed of the fan blades so you can vary the extent of the draught. Having a small desk fan nearby can make a big difference to your power bills, as it could mean that you need to use the air conditioning for less time, thus consuming a smaller amount of electricity. As we know, air conditioning units are quite power hungry, and while they are cooling the entire room, your personal desk fan is just providing comfort for yourself. Some small fans come supplied with an option to introduce moisture into the airstream, which creates a fine mist. This mist has an even greater cooling effect upon a person, but the presence of moisture in and around the office environment may not be acceptable to everybody and could also possibly interfere with electrical equipment, so that is something that should be considered before using these types of fans on your office desk, however, the water option can be left switched off if desired. One fairly major area for consideration when buying a desk fan, is the noise that it makes, obviously a very noisy fan will be most distracting when you are trying to work, so you should ensure that the one you buy is very quiet when running, the best way to look for taht is to check buter reviews online, this is a good way to find out the experiences that other people have had with specific products. One other thing that should be checked, is the sturdiness of the guard surrounding the actual fan blades, particularly with larger models, as these run quite fast and if the guard is not sufficient to prevent fingers getting in the way of the blades, this can have a most uncomfortable outcome.
