Ceilings Fans - For Comfort

Ceiling fans are one of the few multi-purpose items you can place in your home. They help cool a room, improve airflow, maximize the power of your heating unit and add a strong decorative element. With an attached lighting kit, they even work as a light fixture. You don't get much more versatile than that. Ceiling fans create a cooling breeze on the hottest of days, which is why they are a staple in every room in houses located in warmer climates. Some even install them in porch ceilings. By circulating the cooler air near the floor up and drawing the hot air toward the ceiling, fans work to place cool air where it has the most impact and disperse it over a wider area. They also help to circulate thick, humid air, which makes the room feel more comfortable.

Most people don't think about using one in the winter, but by reversing the direction of the blades, a ceiling fan can draw the warmer air that drifts up toward the ceiling and pull it down. This makes the room feel warmer in the comfort zone. The constant motion of the air prevents the heat from rising and staying up near the ceiling. The more constant temperature of the air throughout the room lets the thermostat get a more accurate temperature read, so it operates more efficiently.

Ceiling fans come in a wide variety of styles, colors and finishes. Whether your room is sleek and modern, exotic and tropical or retro vintage, there's a ceiling fan out there that will put the perfect punctuation on your style statement. Many manufacturers produce fans that coordinate with light fixture series for use throughout your home, so your fan can be part of a cohesive lighting scheme. Different diameter fans, from 42 to 60 inches, make them a valid option for every size room. Hugger fans and varying length down rods allow you to place a ceiling fan in just about any height room.

While some fans come with attached light kits, optional kits let you change up the look on a fan or customize a plain fan to create a look that is perfect for the lighting needs and style of your room. You can buy different shades that let you personalize the look even more. Updating a room can be just as easy as swapping out the light kit or shades. Many fans even come with blades that have a different finish on each side, increasing your options even more.
