Ceiling fans, as the name suggests are nothing more than electrical fans
which are hung on ceilings and may or may not have lights. Ceiling fans save
space and are preferred by many to stand fans which take up a lot of floor
space. The main purpose of a ceiling fan is to circulate air throughout the
room which makes the room a lot many degrees cooler than it would be without
air circulation. In tropical climates, very rarely do you find homes without
ceiling fans.
Although air conditioners do the job of making the room cooler, the
utility bill can be prohibitive and a ceiling fan also saves more energy than
them. The savings in utility bills is nothing to be sneezed at and a ceiling
fan is sufficient for those slightly cooler months of spring and fall. Even
above the dining table, this is a useful device as the moving air dissuades
pests and insects.
The
original idea of the ceiling fan came way back in 1886 when the Nutone Bath
Fans were devised by the father and
son pair and were powered with water. Then in 1903, the Hunter ceiling fans
Company was incorporated into the Emerson Electric Co and since then there has
been a constant evolution of designs and styles in ceiling fans. The
options are tremendous and you can choose from airplane fans, rustic fans or
tropical fans. You can choose a flush mount or a hanging one but ensure that
the ceiling fan has reversible speed control as this will give you many
ventilation choices. You can move as much or as little air as you want. Some ceiling fans even come with heaters. Some come with three blades while others four or even
five and a few have remote controls.
When choosing the fans for your ceiling, consider the size of the room
and the height of the room. The design and speed of the fan determines how well
it will work in the room. It is always better to opt for a good design because
it will give you a quieter fan and also improved performance. It is a good idea
to check whether spare parts are easily available for the model chosen as
otherwise it will get problematic if problems arise. Like every good thing,
better functioning ceiling fans come at a higher price but then you get what
you pay for!
