Ceiling Fans benefit the home
Ceiling fans are popular ceiling fixtures not just
in the households in tropical countries. Ceiling fans are similar in function
to any other electric fans. Of course, their main use is to generate air movement
to improve the ventilation of a room.
Ceiling fans are electric fans that are hanging over
the ceiling. Some people prefer to install ceiling fans rather than put traditional
electric fans in the room because of the significant amount of space that
is saved, as well as being a permanent fixture that's out of the way.
Brief history of the ceiling fan
John and James Hunter invented the ceiling fan in 1886.
The device created by the father-and-son duo was initially powered by energy
generated from water because at that time, electricity was still not widely
used, despite its discovery more than 100 years earlier.
The Hunters ceiling fan design was used by Emerson
Electric Company in 1903. Thus, the Hunter Fan was
later introduced by a company
bearing the same name. From then on, Hunter fans evolved and now, there are
a number of ceiling fan designs and models you could choose from when you
shop for one at appliances stores now.
The
Casablanca fan is one of the most modern types
of ceiling fan in the market today. Actually, the Casablanca fan refers to
a line of luxurious and beautifully crafted ceiling fans.
Casablanca fans make purchasing and installing ceiling
fans at home luxurious and pleasurable to interior-design fanatics. Therefore,
one advantage of installing a ceiling fan can be achieved when you purchase
a Casablanca fan unit. The fan makes the room for aesthetically appealing.
Because of its beauty and appeal, you should not be
surprised at how Casablanca fans are priced in the market. Some of them can
be collectors items. They are not inexpensive.
The primary benefits ceiling fans give is the benefit
in air circulation. Ceiling fans are proven to make people in a room feel
four degrees cooler in the summer. If installed over a dining table, the
ceiling fan can help keep flying insects away during meals.
In the winter time, a ceiling fan circulating the air
helps to distribute warmth coming from a space heater or heating stove around
the neighboring rooms of the house.
Modern home builders are accustomed to installing air
conditioners to take care of their house's overall summer cooling needs. But
the electrical needs required and the monthly cost can be prohibitive.
Ceiling fans provide alternative for the air conditioner,
when the heat is not too bad, and they are less costly in electricity. The
electricity consumed by operating a ceiling fan is pennies per month when
compared to dollars a month for a modern efficient air conditioner.
During summer, the ceiling fan is run counter-clockwise
to provide cooler breeze. If your fan features a switch for reversing the
rotation direction, then it can run in the clockwise direction for the winter
months. By reversing the direction, air is drawn up to the ceiling instead
of down to the floor during the summer.
The ceiling fan has truly revolved since it was invented
in 1886. If the Hunters were still alive, they would certainly be awed at
how their invention has evolved.
