Why use a ceiling fan
The versatile characteristics of ceiling fans
can provide you with beauty, comfort and value.
During the summer months, the ceiling fan can
offer comfort because it will assist in the
cooling of your home, whereas during the winter
months it will assist in the warming of your
home. It has the capacity of circulating the air
in the room in which it is located so that it
will reduce air condition costs in the summer
months and heating costs in the winter months.
Depending on the size of your room and how many
of your rooms enjoy the benefits of a ceiling
fan, as well as the climate in your area, you
can save up to 40% on your energy costs during
the summer months.
When lights are contained on the ceiling fan, it
provides you with an item that is even more
attractive and functional. These attractive
styles found with many ceiling fans are bigger
than most chandeliers and is often the focal
point of a room. They can be featured quite
prominently in a room, whether it is a room your
guests will enjoy or a master bedroom for just
you and your spouse. Either way, a ceiling fan
with a lovely light fixture will be an
attractive addition to any room in the home.
Ceiling fans can also be utilized on porches and
verandas. However, you need to make sure that
the ceiling fans are conducive to the outdoors.
Ceiling fans have moving elements since both the
motor and blades turn so they need to be hung
properly from a sturdy surface. If a ceiling fan
contains a large motor, the ceiling fan will be
much stronger. Durable fan motors will have as
much as 2,000 feet of copper wire in the
windings.
The composition of the blades may be of wood,
plastic or steel. It is best if the wooden
blades are laminated from thin slices of wood
rather than a single solid piece. In order for
the fan to turn evenly, the blades must be
correctly balanced to a high degree of
tolerance. Rather than being perfectly
horizontal, the blades must be pitched or
angled, which will enable the blade to push more
air. The pitches can vary from 9 to 22 degrees
and the higher the pitch, the more air that will
be pushed.
