subject: Three Different Uses for Ceiling Fans [print this page] Ceiling fans are terrific investments inside the home. They serve three different uses that can greatly help the homeowners. They can provide a fantastic home cooling system. They can provide additional lighting for the home. And, they can serve as decorations for the various rooms inside. Let's delve into these three different uses a little more thoroughly.
Any home needs a home cooling system. Air conditioning units can provide significant alteration in the temperature of the home but they can also provide a significant impact in the utility bills of the homeowners. They consume more power and thus can cause a huge dent in the electricity bills. Ceiling fans, on the other hand, consume less electricity yet they can give the homeowners the cool feeling they need. They blow a breeze that can cool off any hot and perspiring skin.
Another use for the overhead fan units is for additional lighting. This doesn't mean that just because the fans replaced the lighting fixture in the middle of the ceiling, the home will be without some lights. Most overhead fan units are equipped with lighting fixtures that either goes upwards or downwards. So, homeowners can choose whether to utilize uplights for subtle lighting or downlights for brighter lighting. There are also times when the overhead fans are not placed directly in the middle of the room but they are affixed on beams that divide open plan living spaces. Their presence in such delineating positions can provide additional lighting to the room.
Lastly, the ceiling fans can be used as decorations. The blades of the fans come in unique designs and colors which can be used to complement any space. The glass covers and the shades of the lighting fixtures can also add up to bring glamour into the living room, dining room, bedroom or kitchen areas of the home.
