Beat The Heat: Benefits Of A Ceiling Fan Installation This Summer
As temperatures rise, finding different ways to stay cool becomes essential for many homeowners. While air conditioning is a popular choice, there is another, often overlooked, solution that not only keeps you cool but is also more energy-efficient – a ceiling fan installation.
Let us take a look at the many benefits of installing ceiling fans to beat the heat during the sweltering summer months.
Energy-Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Cooling Option
Ceiling fans provide an energy-efficient way to cool your home. They consume significantly less energy than air conditioning units, providing good savings on your electricity bill. This efficiency, paired with the absence of gases associated with AC units, makes them a more sustainable cooling option, helping you to reduce your carbon footprint.
Better Air Circulation
By creating a gentle breeze, ceiling fans distribute air more evenly throughout a room and prevent the build-up of pockets of warm air or hot spots. This contributes to your overall comfort.
Cool, But Without The Chill Factor
Air conditioners are effective in cooling a room, but sometimes they are too effective. If you don’t like the “chill factor” that AC units create, then you will be better off with a ceiling fan. In addition, for an air conditioner to work effectively, windows must be closed. However, some people prefer to keep windows open for a flow of fresh air from the outdoors, which is possible with a ceiling fan.
A Cost-Effective Solution
Besides saving on your electricity bill, a ceiling fan installation costs significantly less than air-conditioning.
Quiet, Dual Functionality
Did you know that ceiling fans are equipped with a reversible motor, so you can use them in both summer and winter? The counterclockwise rotation creates a cooling breeze for the summer months. In winter, at the flick of a switch, the blade will turn clockwise. The resultant updraft will distribute the warmer air that has risen to the top of the room, keeping a more even temperature.
This all happens very quietly, meaning you can keep your fan on all night and not disrupt your sleep, as could happen with a standing or desk fan.
