I recently installed ceiling fans throughout my house.
- There are a nearly endless selection of sizes plus styles of ceiling fans on the market.
I was able to choose models that complement the decor, include an LED light plus operate by way of a cordless remote. The ceiling fans feature a switch at the base that allows me to change the direction of the fan blades. While it’s simple to overlook this function, the direction of the fan makes a big difference to the temperature plus comfort of the room. It can help to significantly trim heating plus cooling costs, then living in an area with cold cold winters plus hot plus humid summers, heating plus cooling are essential plus costly. I’m always searching for current plus better ways to reduce the workload of the heating system plus air conditioning. Temperature control accounts for about half of the condo energy use. Although I’ve invested into a high-efficiency air conditioning, it uses around 3,500 watts of power whenever it runs. Ceiling fans run on 50 watts of power. While I can’t avoid running the air conditioning on especially hot plus muggy nights plus nights, the ceiling fans help out. I set them to spin counterclockwise over the summer. This works to push air downward plus create a cool breeze. Operating the fan keeps the room’s temperature consistent plus allows for higher control unit settings. It’s important that the angles of the fan blades are adjusted to a minimum of twelve degrees to maximize cooling potential. In the winter, I switch the ceiling fan to rotate clockwise at low speed. Warm air naturally rises, plus it is simple for the heat to get trapped up by the ceiling. The fan creates a gentle updraft plus redistributes the heat. Operating the ceiling fans saves around 15% on my winter season heating bills.
