Your Guide To Choosing Ceiling Fans with Lights

Ceiling fans are an aesthetically pleasing addition to any house. Besides looking like spinning chandeliers, they help circulate cool air during hot summers. They also help reduce the cost of utility bills. 

Unknown to many, ceiling fans can also warm rooms during the cool seasons. During summer, the blades of a ceiling fan turn counterclockwise. This motion creates a breeze effect which circulates the air during hot weather. Changing the fan's blades to a clockwise rotation pushes the rising warm air down. Recirculating the atmosphere warms the room, which saves on the cost of air conditioning bills.

Popular Types of Ceiling Fans

Standard Ceiling Fans

They are the most common type of ceiling fans and are the most versatile. They come with four or five blades and have options of including a lighting kit in the center. The ceiling fan blades are usually mounted under or on the motor. Contemporary ceiling fans have ditched the pull chain for a more technologically advanced remote control and/or a wall control.

They are popular because they are easy to blend with any decor. They are available in various colors, with some of the most popular finishes being: matte black and oil rubbed bronze. White ceiling fans and brushed nickel finishes are also very popular. There‘s also a wide variety of styles and sizes with, many modern ceiling fans including reversible blades that give you the option to customize the look. Most also include downrods which allow indoor ceiling fans to be mounted on both flat and sloped ceilings and reversible motors to regulate the airflow. 

Energy-Saving Ceiling Fans

These energy-efficient, typically led ceiling fans, are Energy Star-approved and designed to meet the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency and often use a DC motor. Led ceiling fans with dimmable led lights are nearly 60 percent more energy efficient than other fans. They have a higher initial cost but provide long-term savings on energy expenditure.

Dual-Motor Ceiling Fans

These fans add an extra function not found in traditional ceiling fans. They use double fans connected using a sturdy horizontal bar. You can adjust the angles using a remote control to allow for multidirectional airflow patterns, which can be particularly useful in great rooms.
