Save Money by Using a Ceiling Fan

More and more people nowadays are looking for ways to reduce the expenses of their electric bills. Installing a ceiling fan could help you save money both in the summer heat as well as the cold temperatures of winter.

In summer, a ceiling fan set to high will allow you to raise the temperature up by 4 degrees without losing your comfort. The method of operation involves the fact that the fans circulate air in a manner that cools the skin. It is really cooling you instead of the space. If you decide to leave the room, it's recommended to turn the fan off in order to avoid any additional energy. The ceiling fan uses the equivalent of electricity to be about the same as the incandescent bulb. That means that a ceiling fan typically consumes between 75 and 90 Watts.

In the winter months, ceiling fans could aid in warming the space. Certain ceiling fans are able to turn either counter-clockwise or clockwise. In clockwise rotation at a low setting, you can transfer warmer air out from your ceiling to the floor. The difference isn't significant but could suffice to reduce your heating bills a bit. Given the growing cost of heating the home, even a tiny amount can be worth it.

The installation of a ceiling fan could be more complicated than many people first think. Ceiling fans may require a bigger power supply than the light it replaces. The position of the ceiling fan's location is vital to get not only maximum benefits, but also for safety purposes. Ceiling fans have been installed by us for many years and our electricians are well-versed on how to position the fan in a way that you get the best circulation of air while minimizing vibration.
