Introducing the Stanic Duo: A Game-Changing Cooker Outlet for Modern Homes

At Electricpoint, we specialise in supplying high-quality electrical products that enhance efficiency, safety and practicality.

One such revolutionary product that has recently caught our attention is the Stanic Duo—a cutting-edge cooker outlet designed to improve electrical installations in homes, particularly in kitchens where both gas hobs and electric ovens are used.

In this blog, we’ll explore what makes the Stanic Duo a must-have solution for electricians, housing developers and homeowners.

The Stanic Duo is a brand-new dual-purpose cooker outlet designed to combine a flex outlet and an unswitched socket into a single, compact unit. This is a game-changer for kitchen installations, especially in homes with a separate gas hob

Condensation is a frequent issue in homes and businesses, often resulting in dampness, mould growth, and reduced indoor air quality. It happens when warm, moist air - typically from activities like cooking, showering, or even breathing - meets cooler surfaces such as windows or walls. If left unaddressed, condensation can range from being a minor annoyance to causing significant property damage or posing serious health risks.

Effectively managing indoor humidity is essential to preventing these problems. One of the most practical solutions is installing extractor fans, which help to minimise condensation while improving air circulation throughout your space.

What Is Condensation and Why Does It Occur?

Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air turns into liquid upon coming into contact with a cooler surface. This process is a natural result

Ducting is a critical component of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, enabling the efficient distribution of air throughout buildings.

Selecting the appropriate type of ducting is crucial for ensuring system performance, ease of installation, and cost-efficiency in commercial applications. In domestic settings, combining the right ducting with high-quality extractor fans is key to achieving optimal airflow and effective humidity control.

In this article, we’ll explore the three primary types of ducting - round

Effective ventilation is essential for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Whether it’s removing cooking odours or ensuring fresh air circulation, choosing the right system can make all the difference. Extractor fans and heat recovery units are two popular solutions, but they serve different purposes.

In this guide, we’ll help you understand their key features, benefits, and when to choose each one.

What Are Extractor Fans?

Definition and Functionality

Extractor fans are designed to remove unwanted air from a specific area, such as a

Extractor fans are an essential addition to any kitchen, offering a simple yet effective way to maintain air quality, eliminate cooking odours, and prevent the buildup of grease and moisture.

Choosing the right extractor fan not only enhances your kitchen's functionality but also complements its design. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect extractor fan for your needs.

Why an Extractor Fan is Essential for Your Kitchen

A well-chosen kitchen extractor fan does more than remove unpleasant smells. Here are some of its primary benefits:

• Improved Air Quality: Extractor fans remove airborne particles, ensuring your kitchen stays fresh and healthy.
• Reduction in Grease and Moisture: These fans prevent grease and moisture from settling on surfaces, reducing cleaning time.
• Prevention of Mould and Mildew: Proper ventilation helps inhibit the growth of mould, protecting your home and health.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing an Extractor Fan

Extraction Rate

The extraction rate, measured in cubic metres per hour (m³/h), determines how quickly the fan can clear the air. Larger kitchens require fans with higher extraction rates. A general rule is to choose a fan that can replace the air in your kitchen at least 10 times per hour.

Our best-selling Nuaire Cyfan, for example, has an extraction rate of 151m³/h - Therefore, it's an ideal choice for kitchens measures 15m³ and under.

Noise Level

Extractor fans can be noisy, with noise levels measured in decibels (dB). Quiet models are ideal for open-plan kitchens or homes where noise sensitivity is a concern - Look for fans with noise levels below 60 dB for a more comfortable experience.

Size and Placement

Choosing the right size is crucial, as the fan should cover the width of your hob to capture all the cooking fumes. Wall-mounted, island, and ceiling-integrated fans each suit different kitchen layouts, so consider your space and cooking habits.

Energy Efficiency and Costs

Energy-efficient extractor fans can help you save on electricity bills while reducing your carbon footprint. Look for models with an energy rating of A or higher. While upfront costs may vary, investing in an efficient model can reduce long-term operating expenses.

Stylish Designs to Complement Your Kitchen

Modern extractor fans come in a variety of styles and finishes, from sleek and discreet white to bold black. Whether you have a contemporary or traditional kitchen, there’s an extractor fan to match your aesthetic. Features like built-in lighting can add both functionality and style.

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

Keeping your extractor fan in top condition requires regular maintenance. Here’s how to ensure longevity:

• Clean Filters: Wash reusable filters every few weeks and replace carbon filters every 3-6 months for recirculating fans.
• Wipe Down Surfaces: Regularly clean the fan’s exterior to remove grease and grime.
• Check Ventilation: Inspect ducted fans for blockages and ensure unobstructed airflow.

Following these tips helps your fan maintain peak performance and extends its lifespan.

Choosing the Right Extractor Fan for Your Budget

Extractor fans are available at various price points, ensuring there’s something for every budget. Here’s what to expect:

• Budget-Friendly Options: Basic models with reliable performance are available for under £100, ideal for smaller kitchens.
• Mid-Range Models: Priced between £100-£300, these fans often include advanced features like LED lighting and improved noise reduction.
• Premium Fans: High-end models exceeding £300 offer cutting-edge designs, smart technology, and superior extraction rates.

Set a realistic budget based on your kitchen’s size, layout, and personal preferences.
