Although it cannot be measured on a
thermostat, the rotating of a fan’s blades in the counter clockwise direction
produces a breeze that helps create a wind chill factor throughout a room. This
wind chill factor makes the room feel significantly cooler than what the
thermostat will actually read. This wind chill factor can be felt by anyone in
the room, and makes the room much more comfortable even though the temperature
has not changed drastically at all. This saves energy due to the fact that
people can set their air conditioners at a higher temperature. The money saved
on their electric bill will be eminent along with helping keep our environment
green by being more fuel efficient. Ceiling fans only use anywhere between
25-80 watts versus an air conditioner, which uses considerably more (around the
500-2500 watt range).
What
are the appropriate steps to buying a ceiling fan?
Room
Size and Ceiling Height
When choosing a ceiling fan be sure to
get the correct size that is most compatible to your room. You should not
purchase a fan that is obviously too big or too small for the room because it
will not cool down as quickly or cool the room down too much.
The ceiling height of your room will
also determine the length of the down rod and the size of other accessories
that the fan needs to operate. Ceiling fans come with a universal 8” foot
ceiling rod so be wary of that. In order to ensure a quality ceiling
fan, make sure you know the proper dimensions of the room you are purchasing
the unit for. This will make the purchasing process go smooth and quick.

Fan Performance
How well a ceiling fan will perform is
dependent on the parts that make up the fan. The motor size, blade pitch, and
blade construction are those parts and factors that will determine this. Big is
not always best when it comes to these parts, as it is always about
performance. A blade pitch is a term for the blade
angle. A greater angle will equate to the ceiling fan moving more air. The
blade pitch should be between 12 and 16 degrees to be at maximum efficiency. The blade construction is all about the
certain kind of material the blade is made from, and will determine how well
your ceiling fan will perform. They should be made of pressurized Hardwood to
prevent warping, which can be a problem when purchasing fans with cheap blade
construction such as particle boards.
Design
of the Ceiling Fan
When you are looking for the right
ceiling fan, consider the different styles and designs that will improve your
home décor. Many ceiling fans come in different finishes to match virtually
every household design, such as the blades, that come in different shapes,
sizes, colors. Take advantage of the wide selections of fans that are offered
and all different styles of fans. These include traditional, contemporary, indoor,
outdoor, and energy star fans. Lastly, make
sure the style of fan you choose matches your home to add value to the design
of your home.
Controls
There are three different kinds of
ceiling fans available for purchase including a pull chain, hand held remote control
or a wall control. Choose what control system is most convenient for you when
purchasing a ceiling fan.
