Fans are no longer tax-deductible from 2019.
However, you can contact your energy supplier (C2E credit) for a possible subsidy.

Under certain conditions, fans are eligible for the Ma prime Renov scheme.

Based on a kWh cost of 0,2516€ (EDF – Electricité de France average rate in March 2024). Knowing that an Exhale in speed 1 (minimum / for winter comfort), consumes only 4 Watts per hour. Knowing that an Exhale in speed 6 (maximum / for summer comfort) consumes 50 Watts per hour. In a month of 30 days, running 24 hours a day, it will therefore run 24 x 30 = 720h/month.

• At speed 1 (winter comfort), an exhale running 24 hours a day will consume 0,72€ of electricity per month.
• At speed 6 (summer comfort), an exhale running 24 hours a day will consume 9,05€ of electricity per month.

The recommended room size for an Exhale depends on the objective:

• For summer comfort (cooling and breeze) = one fan for 10 to 30 square metres (25 to 150 cubic metres).
• For winter comfort (destratification, improvement of heating appliances, heat distribution in the room and uniformity of the floor/ceiling temperature, count on one Exhale for large surfaces (up to 100-150 square metres) and a high ceiling height (6 to 8 metres), i.e. one Exhale for 500 to 900 cubic metres).

For summer comfort, if the ceiling height is less than 3m, we recommend a surface area of 10-15 square metres per fan for optimum comfort in very hot weather.
If you need more than this or are in any doubt, please contact us.

For winter comfort (destratification), one fan per 500 m3 (cubic metres) is sufficient.

To prolong the life of your Exhale fan and restore it to its former glory, you can use this accessory:

There is no filter to change on the Exhale fan. There are no parts to change on the Exhale fan.

The Exhale fan is particularly well suited to evening out room temperatures. This makes it ideal for use in conjunction with a fireplace, wood burner or stove. Wherever possible, install the Exhale fan close to the wood-burning fireplace for optimum efficiency.

The temperature around the heat zone is particularly high. Thanks to the Exhale fan, the circulated air helps to regulate the temperature close to the heat source.

Yes, all the fans that we deliver in France and Europe are 230v (with the CE standards) there is nothing particular to do with regard to electricity supply. Find more information on the technical characteristics: Electricity consumption and noise.

The remote control:

• Is equipped with an on/off button for the light (which can operate with or without the ventilation)
• Allows the intensity of the light to be adjusted from 20 to 100%
• Allows the fan to be operated (up to 6 different speeds)

It can also be connected to a ceiling light with an on/off switch with an electricity supply, but it is not mandatory since the remote control is totally independent.

Turn the power OFF for at least 10 Seconds, if necessary, turn off the Circuit Breaker that routes power to your fan.

• Turn Power to the Fan ON
• Within 60 seconds of turning the power on, press and hold the LED ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. Do not touch any other button during this process, doing so will cause this process to fail.
• Once the Synchronization is completed and detected you will hear an audible “BEEP” which indicates a successful synchronization.
• After completing the steps all fan functions will be available.

Yes, it is possible to create some air circulation between 2 levels (especially a mezzanine or a loft) when using an Exhale bladeless ceiling fan. The Exhale will spread and stir the air in the entire room which will uniform the room temperature. When you have to levels the second one usually as much hotter as heat goes up. Exhale will help you to fight this by circulating the air everywhere.

The Exhale fan works differently from a bladed fan (as it does not have angled blades)therefore the rotation direction does not matter. To use the Exhale fan in winter mode, turn it to speed 1 or 2 leave it on most of the times (ideally permanently at speed 1), it will destratify (evenly distribute temperature in the room)the room. It will consume very little and will circulate the air in the room which will balance the floor / ceiling temperature for a very limited cost. In summer mode, run the fan at a higher speed (3 to 6) to feel a breath of air.

Unlike a fan with blades (because of the inclined orientation of the blades), the direction of rotation on an Exhale is not important. (Unless you have two Exhales in the room. In that case, rotating them in opposite directions increases the airflow). With Exhale, it is the speed of rotation that needs to be changed depending on your objective of summer or winter confort. During the cold season, you use the Exhale fan at minimum speed, speed 1 or 2, to stir and mix the room air without creating a cooling blast of air. Efficiency is sought: low noise, low power consumption & mixing the air from floor to ceiling to balance the temperature. In the hot season, you use high speeds, 4, 5 or 6, to generate a cooling breeze. Note that the reversal of direction on Exhale is only of interest if you use 2 Exhale fans in the same room (rare for private homes) and you run them in opposite directions, to create an 8-way effect and thus increase the airflow generated.

There is no perturbation between an Exhale fan and a CMV (controlled mechanical ventilation). The CMV will not be affected in any way by your Exhale fan.

Thanks to its lack of blades and its DC motor, the Exhale fan is very quiet.
Its noise level is between 27 and 40 decibels (db).
What’s more, there’s no eye-catching strobe effect like with fans with blades.
