Energy efficient ceiling fans can improve your home or office energy efficiency and improve your overall comfort. They will help keep you cool as the summertime heats up. Energy efficient ceiling fans cost less to run than air conditioners and use less energy. In addition, they come in many styles and are eye-catching.

What many people don’t consider is that installing a ceiling fan that can change direction also pays off in the wintertime as you can use the fan to push the warm air to the living space for greater comfort and lower energy consumption. Since hot air rises you can use the fan to gently push the warmer air back down to floor level.

In addition to an energy efficient ceiling fan, you can buy lighting kits that can improve your old fan and upgrade its energy efficiency. Instead of purchasing new fans you can retrofit your old ones. However, if you want to change the look of your home and overall comfort, invest in energy efficient fans with the Energy Star label for the most energy efficiency. However, if you don’t like the style of an Energy Star rated ceiling fan, most any modern ceiling fan will improve energy efficiency and improve your comfort level.

Savings can be up to one twentieth of the operating cost of a room air conditioner and even greater compared to centralized air. Even on the hottest of days, a ceiling fan will allow you to cut back your air conditioning requirements saving you money…and don’t forget, it works in reverse in winter to move the hot air above you down to your living level. A fan also circulates the air removing potential cold or hot spots in your room, thereby improving your home comfort as well.

Any fan used properly will improve your energy efficiency compared to air conditioning alone. However, Buyenergyefficient.org recommends fans that are Energy Star rated, reversible for wintertime use and have remote controls for convenience. This will allow you to improve your comfort level at the maximum energy efficiency. Read the following links to get more detailed information. Also remember it you are putting the fan in a high moisture area, such as a bathroom or outdoor patio, to get a wet or damp rating for safety.
