Ceiling
fans are an attractive addition to any room. However, these
cooling accessories are not only attractive. They are also functional.
Ceiling fans keep a room cool and provide circulation for the air in
the room and building.
In
fact, a good ceiling fan can save a great deal of energy if it is installed
and used correctly. Properly placed ceiling fans have been known to
save property owners up to 40% of
their usually cooling costs during the warm months of the year. But
the difference is not only noticeable in the pocketbook, it is also
apparent in the atmosphere of the room. A great ceiling fan creates
a chilling effect in a room, similar to the natural wind or breeze outdoors.
This breeze can cause a room to easily feel 5-10 degrees cooler during
the day.
During cool summer nights a high quality ceiling fan can
also offer a chilly energy saving treat. Many homeowners use these fans
instead of their costly air conditioners. They simply open up the windows
and allow the ceiling fan or fans to circulate the air inside the home,
thus creating a wonderful sleeping environment at a fraction of the
cost of an air conditioner alone. Plus, ceiling fans are environmentally
friendly and energy efficient cooling options.
