Staying Cool with a Ceiling Fan

With warm, muggy summer days and nights, its time to think cool. To beat the heat and stay cool and comfortable, a growing number of consumers are installing ceiling fans in their homes.

A ceiling fan does not actually lower the temperature of a room. Rather, a ceiling fan works by creating wind chill. The spinning blades of the fan create a breeze. The air moving across the skin evaporates moisture from the skins surface making you feel cooler. A ceiling fan can make you feel about 4 C cooler.

Some people do not like the feel of air conditioning. It can be too cold or too dramatic of a change from the warm outside air to an air conditioned room. A ceiling fan is a great alternative, creating a cooler climate without the dramatic change.

Ceiling fans are also environmentally friendly. Air conditioning systems may contain chlorofluorocarbons or other chemicals that could harm the environment. A ceiling fan is the natural way to cool. And energy consumption is small. A ceiling fan running on high speed, uses about the same amount of electricity as a 100W incandescent light bulb.

To achieve optimal cooling explains Jim Barrett, Vice President for Hunter Fan Companythe inventor of ceiling fans, the blades of the ceiling fan should be about 2.3 meters from the floor. So for tall ceilings, an extension rod should be purchased along with the fan for correct installation.

Hunter Fan Company, founded in 1886, is the worlds leading manufacturer of ceiling fans. These top quality ceiling fans are known for their quiet performance.
