Ceiling Fans for Summer and Winter

Ceiling Fans for Summer and Winter

Ceiling fans are the perfect choice for adding comfort to your home in colder months or warmer months. In colder months, they push hot air down into your living space, in warmer months, the pull hot air up and circulate air throughout your living space. Plus, they can lower energy bills.

Ceiling Fans in Hot Months

A well placed ceiling fan can move the air in the room and create a cooler temperature as a result. This movement of air can create the perfect comfort level and reduce the need for turning on the air conditioner, which uses far more power.

Ceiling Fans in Cold Months

Everyone in Englewood Cliffs knows hot air rises. In the hot months, the ceiling fan is switched to pull the air up to the ceiling, but in colder weather, that same switch can reverse the direction of the ceiling fan which, in turn, now will push the hot air down. This creates a better distribution of heat throughout your rooms and reduces the need to turn your heating system on or up.

The Problem with DIY Installation of a Ceiling Fan

Hanging a ceiling fan is not a job for a weekend DIY’er. An incorrectly mounted ceiling fan can make your house fly away like Dorothy’s in the Wizard of Oz. Of course, this is not true, but installing a ceiling fan requires knowledge of construction and electricity. Mounting boxes need to be correctly installed to ensure stability, and of course the wiring needs to be correctly connected to a power source and switch in order to be safe for you and your family.
