5 Things to Know About Home Ceiling Fans Ceiling Fans Can Help You Save Energy: Ceiling fans can help reduce

your energy bills by circulating the air in your home and reducing the need for air conditioning or heating. By running your ceiling fan on a low setting, you can make your home feel more comfortable while using less energy.

Ceiling Fans Come in Different Sizes: When choosing a ceiling fan for your home, it’s important to consider the size of the room. A fan that is too small will not circulate air effectively, while a fan that is too large may be overpowering. Measure the room’s square footage and choose a fan size that fits the space.

Ceiling Fans Can Be Used All Year Round: Most ceiling fans have

a reverse function that allows you to switch the direction of the blades. By running your fan in reverse, you can circulate warm air that rises to the

ceiling during the winter months, helping to keep your home warm and cozy.

Ceiling Fans Need to be Installed Correctly: Installing a ceiling fan can

be tricky, so it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, consider hiring a professional to install the fan for you.

Ceiling Fans Require Maintenance: Like any appliance,

ceiling fans require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the blades, which can affect their performance. Make sure to clean your fan blades regularly and check the motor and other components for wear and tear. “Since 1979, Dan’s Fan City has been America’s Largest Independent Ceiling
