Ceiling fans can also double as great feature pieces in a room and can increase the value of your home.

How does a ceiling fan cool the room?

We're all guilty of running the ceiling fan on a hot day to try and reduce the temperature of the room however your ceiling fan doesn't directly cool the air all by itself.

A ceiling fan just helps to circulate the cool air better which is what brings the temperature down faster. It can also create a breeze effect that makes the room feel cooler than it actually is too.

Ceiling Fan Safety Tips

• Be sure that they are turned off if you aren’t home
• Be mindful of the fan while it is turned on (never throw things in the air or jump on the bed while it is spinning)
• Never hang things from a ceiling fan (They aren’t designed to be load-bearing)
• You can install a safety guard on your ceiling fans for an extra precaution

• Make sure to clean any dust or dirt that is gathered on the ceiling fan blades (while it is turned off) this can be done with a brush or a rag
• Ensure you tighten any loose screws which can be found on the fan itself, on the plate that attaches the fan to the ceiling or any screws on the light fixtures on your fan
• Check to see if your fan needs oil if it is not self-maintaining. This can be done by adding oil to the oil hole near the motor however most fans are self-lubricating.
• Make sure your fan is not wobbling or shaking, as this means it may need to be balanced or one of the blades may be damaged or warped

Summer vs winter ceiling fan settings

Most ceiling fans can be used all year round as they come with a winter/summer setting. The difference between the settings are:

Summer ceiling fan setting: The fan blades spin in a counterclockwise direction which circulates the air and disperses the breeze to the edges of the room. This makes you feel cooler quicker and it feels like the room temperature lowers.

Winter ceiling fan setting: In this setting, the fan blades spin clockwise which forces all the warm air that is trapped above the fan and along the ceiling down into the room to mix with the cooler air. To achieve the best results you should keep your fan on low speed in this setting during winter.
