Looking for alternatives to skyrocketing energy bills and airconditioning? The ceiling fan can reduce your energy bill byup to 40% if used correctly in your home.Nowadays there are fans to suit all sorts of room sizes,ceiling slopes and décor. Hugger fans come with or withoutlights, and are flush mounted against the ceiling. They areideally suited for small rooms with low ceilings. Trends bringthe elegance of a chandelier and fan to give form to thefandelier – combination of any variety of light fixture withthe fan incorporated into the design. Outdoor fans are alsopopular in a variety of styles and blades running from a spanof 44” up to 72”. Others are wall mountable, and of courseyou have the traditional oscillating stand fans and personalmetal fans.Before purchasing your ceiling fan however, there are a fewconsiderations to think about: where will the fan be installed;what is the right blade span for your room; what is the slopeof the ceiling? Do you want a fan with light or without light?Your local lighting and fan specialist can guide you on whatwill work best for your room/s.Look for remote controls for your fan and also ensure thefan is energy efficient and has high airflow. Fans haveboth a forward and reverse option. The direction in thesummer is forward or counterclockwise. The downward flowproduces a wind chill effect. In the winter, the fan directionis reverse or clockwise – to warm up a room in coolerweather. In reverse mode, a slow fan can circulate thewarm air trapped from the ceiling down to the floor. Highceiling rooms require medium or high speeds to be moreeffective.The chart gathered from ceiling fan experts belowdesignates the approximate fan size and suggested CFM -cubic feet per minute, of airflow on the ceiling fan.Room size Blade span CFM6 x 6 24” – 36” 3,000 - 4,500 CFM8 x 10 37” – 48” 4,000 – 5,500 CFM10 x 15 49’ – 56” 6,200 – 7,500 CFM15 x 15 56” – 80” 7,000 - 9,000 CFMThe higher the airflow the more you feel the coolingbreeze. Most typical fans available for bedrooms or smallliving spaces are sufficient at 4,000 and 5,500 CFM.The larger the motor, the more pitch and airflow will beproduced. For higher ceilings you need more CFM andlarger size fan. For lower ceilings and smaller rooms, youcan use a smaller size fan.Now that you have a little more information regarding theapproximate size and type of fan for your room/s, the huntfor fans can now be focused on the style for your décor aswell as functionality.匀琀 ⸀ 䄀氀戀攀爀琀 Ⰰ匀爀 ⸀ 䴀漀爀琀最愀最攀䈀爀漀欀攀爀䈀攀挀愀甀猀攀琀栀攀爀攀椀猀愀渀漀琀栀攀爀眀愀礀 ℀㜀㠀 ⸀ 㤀㔀 ⸀ 㜀㤀㤀㘀洀愀爀最愀爀攀琀最攀愀氀氀䀀椀渀瘀椀猀 ⸀ 挀愀REAL HOME ADVICE29
