If you want an inexpensive way of adding comfort to your home or office throughout the year, ceiling fans are an excellent choice. A ceiling fan can be operated to warm up your space during the winter and can cool off when during hot summer days. The use of this fan is fairly inexpensive since it requires very little maintenance, and power supply. Because of these features, it helps you cut down on heating units and air conditioning bills. Morever, it is environmentally friendly since they do not emit harmful gases on the atmosphere.
As summer approaches the air becomes warmer and warmer and soon becomes uncomfortable. A ceiling fan is a great way to cool you off with a gentle soothing breeze. The blade's direction during summer can be operated to rotate in a counter clockwise direction producing a wind chill effect due to downward flow of air. After a short while, you will notice that the room is cooler by several degrees without changing the thermostat. If you choose to place fans throughout your home, you can save a lot of money instead of using air conditioning units.
For most of us, a ceiling fan is linked with hot weather without realizing that it can also help homes warm up during winter season. During the cold winter months, the fan can be operated to rotate in an opposite or clockwise direction. Since warm air is lighter than cool air, it rises to the ceiling. When the fan is rotated in clockwise mode, it causes the warm air to circulate downward thus warming up the entire room. One important note is that, it should be operated in a low speed since a higher speed can create a wind chill effect. But if you have a higher ceiling, it is safe to place the fan in a higher speed.
So if you are trying to save up on energy bills, ceiling fans are the solution to your worries. It is safe, economical and practical to warm up and cool off your home all throughout the winter and summer months.
