Save Money by Using a Ceiling Fan

People are always looking for ways to cut down on the increasing cost of their electricity bills. Installing a ceiling fan can reduce your energy costs in the summer months as well as the cold temperatures of winter.

In summer, when the temperature is hot, a ceiling fan running on high will allow you to set the temperature up by 4 degrees without sacrificing comfort. The method of operation involves the fact that the fans circulate air in a way that cools the skin. This means it's really cooling you instead of the space. If you are leaving the room, it's best to switch the fan off in order to avoid any additional energy. The ceiling fan uses the equivalent of electricity as an ordinary light 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 can be set to turn either counter-clockwise or clockwise. With a clockwise rotation in a low setting, you can move hot air up from the ceiling to the floor. The effect isn't particularly important but could be enough to cut down your heating bills a bit. Given the growing cost of heating the home, even a tiny amount can be worth it.

Installing a ceiling fan may be more complicated than many people first think. The ceiling fan might require a bigger power supply than the light it replaces. The position on the ceiling of the fan can be essential for not only getting the best benefits from it 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 so that you can get the most efficient circulation of air while minimizing vibration.
