Testimonial: Alain, a Satisfied User of the KlassFan Helix III Ceiling Fan in Destratification Mode

An Innovative Solution for Optimal Thermal Comfort

Alain, a retiree living peacefully at the foot of the Pyrenees near Perpignan, recently decided to enhance his home’s thermal comfort by installing the KlassFan Helix III ceiling fan. His detailed and insightful testimonial demonstrates how this device can transform a house into a living space that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The story began when Alain noticed a significant temperature difference between the floor and ceiling of his living room while changing a light bulb. During the winter, with his pellet stove running, he realized how much heat was being wasted in his 80 m² living space (with up to a 9° difference: 21°C at floor level vs. 30°C near the ceiling). This realization motivated him to find an effective solution to address this issue.

The Challenges of Thermal Stratification

In Alain's home, the sloped ceiling reaches a maximum height of 4.5 meters. This type of structure naturally encourages air stratification: warm air rises while cooler air remains near the floor. This configuration made his pellet stove inefficient.

"To achieve a comfortable temperature at head height, the stove had to run at full power for hours, leading to excessive pellet consumption," Alain explains.

Discovering the Benefits of Destratification

After exploring several options, Alain came across the concept of destratification while researching online. Ceiling fans equipped with this feature mix warm and cool air layers, ensuring an even temperature throughout the room. After a thorough comparison, he opted for the Helix III ceiling fan by KlassFan, specially designed for spaces with high ceilings thanks to its advanced features.

Why Choose the KlassFan Helix III?

Advanced Destratification Technology

The Helix III features a destratification mode paired with a smart thermal sensor. This system efficiently redistributes the heat accumulated at the ceiling level, minimizing the temperature difference between the floor and ceiling to less than one degree.

Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Design

The device consumes minimal electricity (1 to 5 watts), even during extended use. Thanks to this, Alain noted a 50% reduction in pellet consumption for heating.

Aesthetic and Practical Installation

Installed just 10 cm from the ceiling, the Helix III delivers optimal performance without compromising the aesthetic appeal of Alain’s home.

Ultra-Quiet Operation

With noise levels below 26 dB, the Helix III is perfect for daily use in quiet spaces like living rooms and bedrooms.

Alain’s Results

From the first few days of use, Alain experienced noticeable benefits:

Shorter Heating Time

"Instead of 3 hours, it now takes just 1 hour and 15 minutes to efficiently heat my main living area."

Even Temperature Distribution

With the fan initially set at speed 4, the desired temperature of 21°C is now evenly distributed throughout the room, creating unprecedented thermal comfort (with only a 1°C difference between the highest and lowest points).

Reduced Consumption

The pellet stove, which previously operated for hours, now runs at a much more moderate pace, cutting pellet usage in half.

Prolonged Comfort

After turning off the stove, the fan maintains a pleasant temperature thanks to thermal inertia (with a personal setting at speed 2).

A Year-Round Ally: Winter and Summer Benefits

Although Alain's testimonial focuses on winter performance, he anticipates the fan will be equally effective in summer. In his region, where summer temperatures often exceed 40°C, the Helix III will help distribute cooled air more evenly, reducing strain on the air conditioning system.
