Benefits of Ceiling Fans

Six Benefits of Ceiling Fans in your Home

Ceiling fans are perennially popular and for good reason. New on-trend models make a statement in any room. Think Scandinavian style with great wood finishes, contemporary black finishes and the oh so sleek slimline style. But did you know that ceiling fans offer benefits beyond aesthetics?

Here are our six top reasons to install ceiling fans in your home.

1. Save on Power

Did you know, that ceiling fans can actually save up to 40% on your electricity bill when combined with air conditioning? On their own, ceiling fans can lower the temperature by a good 4-5 degrees. Combined with air-conditioning they help circulate cooled air and can drive down your power costs. Using ceiling fans during the colder months may seem counterintuitive, but they can actually help better heat your home. Changing the direction of the blades will draw the air up and redistribute it, resulting in a warmer room.

2.  Better lighting

Ceiling fans bring in extra lighting to your home. As they’re usually placed in the center of the room where you’d install a light – fans add value to your home – offering added functionality in the same footprint as a basic lighting fixture.  You can also look for ceiling fans with multiple bulbs to really brighten up a room.

3. Technology

Today’s ceiling fans are not the same as those from decades past. Many come equipped with wifi or bluetooth connections to control the fan from your smartphone. You’ll still find the good old remote control options as well. You’ll also find sleeker blades, LED chips and timers.

4. Quieter operation

Ceiling fans are no longer the noisy appliances of years past. While you may have been able to hear the fan going in the next room decades ago, today they’re much quieter. Modern fans are so quiet you won’t even know they’re running until you feel the cool breeze.

5. Small footprint

One of the nice things about ceiling fans is they don’t take up living space (like a pedestal fan, portable air conditioner or bar heater). Chances are you aren’t as worried about using up ceiling space!

6. Perfect for indoor and outdoor spaces

Cool breezes shouldn’t be limited to just the indoors. Ceiling fans are one of the most effective ways to cool your outdoor living spaces. They create a refreshing breeze to keep you cool, extending your outdoor living through the warmer months. They’re great for keeping the bugs away too!

No one wants to deal with a stuffy, uncomfortable living space.

Ceilings fans bring the breeze to interior and exterior spaces efficiently. You’ll love how comfortable they keep your home, no matter the season.
