Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are one of the most versatile
and effective means of adding comfort to your home. They
can really make a difference in your homes climate, reduce
heating and cooling bills, and provide wonderful decor to
your home. It is also something that will add value to your
home in the long run!
By gently re-circulating warm air during
winter months, and providing a circulatory breeze during
summer months, ceiling fans bring wonderful energy savings
to your home. Also, you can trade out your light fixture
for a ceiling fan that will conveniently work for both functions.
Most ceiling fans are equipped with remotes or wall mounts
that control fan speed and lighting!
Ceiling fans come in many different styles,
allowing you to choose between an array of colors, finishes,
sizes, and designs. Finding a fan to coordinate with your
homes decor is not hard. However, you do want to pay attention
to quality. Less expensive fans may appear beautiful at
first, but time will wear them down to warp and become off
balance. Also, pay attention to the fans warranty and performance,
as well as quality and design.
It is important to have your ceiling fan
properly installed for optimal efficiency. Rooms that are
used frequently should be equipped with a ceiling fan for
optimal energy savings. Ceiling fan blades should always
be 7-9 feet above ground, and at least 10 inches away from
the ceiling. Blades should be at least 2 feet away from
walls for optimal performance.
You want to make sure you ceiling fan is
located in the center of the room. Replacing your central
light fixture is your best bet. If you do not have a central
light fixture, you will need to create the space for your
fan and make sure to check your electrical circuits to guard
against overloading.
