Choosing the right ceiling fan can be a daunting task but it all comes down to a few key factors. First and foremost, the design of the ceiling fan is obviously extremely important. But, there are other considerations that are often overlooked that are important to keep in mind when choosing the right fan including energy efficiency, wind speed, noise, air circulation capabilities, noise, and durability.
When choosing a ceiling fan, the size is often an overlooked factor. It’s a good idea to get the measurements of the room you are installing the ceiling fan in and bring them with you when purchasing it. This way, you’ll have a relative idea of how big or small the fan is in relation to the size of the room. Different sized ceiling fans will produce different effects, but it all comes down to your preferences at the end of the day.
The main difference between indoor and outdoor ceiling fans comes down to moisture. Indoor ceiling fans (dry-rated) are designed to service indoor areas that aren’t exposed to moisture. Outdoor ceiling fans are in either one of two categories: wet-rated or damp-rated. Wet-rated ceiling fans are built to withstand the elements and can be installed indoors or outdoors. Damp-rated outdoor fans can be installed in covered, damp areas but are not meant to be exposed to the elements.
There are a few reasons as to why your ceiling fan could be making noise. There could be loose parts that start rattling once in motion or if it’s a cheaper fan, they tend to be noisier as they use less integral parts. Another potential reason could be if your motor is connected to a dimmer control, it will wear out the fan which will eventually create noise. In any case, have an expert from John Nugent & Sons come diagnose the problem and repair your fan to make sure the job is done correctly and prevent future problems!
The price of a ceiling fan will depend on several factors such as its look, energy-efficiency, speed options, and others. With ceiling fans, you get what you pay for, so if you’re looking to have an attractive fan that will last a long time, consider spending a bit more to ensure so.
It is reported that utilizing ceiling fans can actually reduce your monthly energy costs by up to 30% to 40%! By installing a ceiling fan or two in your home, you’ll reduce your dependence on your HVAC system, which as you are likely aware, can rack up your monthly bills during the Sterling, VA summer months. Utilizing ceiling fans can help you save money upfront and in the long run, as the less you use your A/C, the longer it should last you!
While ceiling fans are traditionally used to help cool down a room, you can actually use them to warm up your space as well! When you reverse the direction of a ceiling fan, it will pull the warm air from your ceiling and distribute it downwards, warming up the entire room itself. Installing a ceiling fan in your home is a great way to cool down or heat up an area without racking up your energy costs.
Another benefit of ceiling fans is not only do they help control the temperature of the room, but they also assist in lighting the room too! Instead of installing new lighting fixtures in a poorly-lit room, consider adding a ceiling fan with lighting! This is a great option as it is much more cost effective and you are getting a two-for-one deal! There are many lighting options available when it comes to ceiling fans and our team can help you decide which is best for your needs!
While ceiling fans mainly serve as a functional piece in your home, they really can add a lot of style and aesthetic into a space as well. With literally hundreds to thousands of styles available, there are tons of options to help make your home sparkle. If choosing one style out of hundreds sounds like a daunting task, don’t worry! Our experts will help walk you through all of your options, provide recommendations based your personal taste, and make the process as enjoyable and easy as possible!
Many homeowners rely on white noise to get a solid night’s rest at night. Ditch that old, clanky box fan and trade it in for a new, efficient ceiling fan instead! Ceiling fans take up significantly less room, are more efficient at cooling (and heating), less noisy, and all around more comfortable!
