The Benefits of Ceiling Fans

Living in Florida, it can become very hot and humid. Ceiling fans are great at working with your HVAC system to keep your home at the right temperatures. You can enjoy the feel of a cool Summer breeze in the comfort of your home.  This is a great use for homes and offices alike. Read on to learn more from Anchor Electric about the benefits of ceiling fans.

 

  1. Energy Savings- Ceiling fans are great at cooling down your home in the summer by being proficient at circulating air in a room. This also has the same effect for circulating the warm air that rises in the winter and helps keep your home at a comfortable temperature. This is accomplished by simply changing the rotation your ceiling fan blades are operating. In the summer, having the air blowing downward, blades spinning counterclockwise, will create a breeze within the room. When the weather is cooler, changing the rotation of the blades to turn clockwise will have the opposite effect. Since hot air rises, this will direct the warmer air that is at the top of the room to circulate within the space.
  2. Decorative- There are a large range of sizes, styles, and finishes to compliment everyone’s tastes. Fans are functional as well as a statement piece in your home. The different finishes and models are endless and really brings a whole room together. These choices have been making a major impact in luxury homes using on-trend materials and adding value.
  3. Versatile- Are you looking for a compact fan that will whisk away the humidity, or how about one just right for your child’s bedroom? A ceiling fan is able to be installed in almost every room of your home. You are able to choose from many different options depending on what you are wanting to accomplish in that particular room. If you choose a fan that also has a light, you are able to have it multi-function to illuminate your room as well!
  4. Cost Efficient- Ceiling fans will only use a lot of electricity if they are outdated. According to Eco Cost Savings, in the US, “it costs just under half of a cent per hour to run a ceiling fan. This works out at nearly 4 cents per night, 11 cents per day, 78 cents per week and $3.36 per month if the fan is left on 24/7.”
