Ceiling Fan Tips and Handy Hints
You might be looking at having a ceiling fan installed in your home or just unsure what to choose. Perhaps you’re looking at what possibilities exist or whether some fan installs can be performed. I’ve got a couple of easy tips to help you along the way to make a decision.
As Adelaide weather warms up over summer ceiling fans will improve your comfort level and reduce reliance on air conditioning. Have a look at my blog Ceiling Fans to Save Energy Costs to see why!
What are your ceiling fan options?
- You can choose a Ceiling Fan only or a Fan with Lights (LED options available).
- Control can be made by a wall controller or remote control.
- Standard sizes are 122cm (48”) to suit bedrooms or 142cm (56”) to suit larger bedrooms and living areas.
- The number of blades on a fan is more a choice of style rather than function.
- They can be installed on sloped or raked ceilings.
- Keep in mind there needs to be 2.1 meters from the floor to the bottom of the fan blades for safety.
- Flat timber blade fans are quieter than metal blades, and well suited to bedrooms.
- Metal blade fans tend to push more air around than timber blades.
- Available in a range of colours, white or brushed silver being the most popular.
- Can be installed outside under a pergola or verandah to keep you cool outside.
- Replacing an old ceiling fan with a new modern fan is a cheap option.
