Fans: Comfort, Cooling and Air Circulation
Maximize both comfort and energy cost by adding a modern fan to the home. In the summer, fans add air circulation and can speed up the spread of cool air. In the winter, they help draw heat down from the ceiling and evenly distribute it throughout. A range of design styles from contemporary fans to restoration and tropical fans means one will be found to suit the room perfectly. Fans are especially useful in spaces where people linger and relax, such as in living rooms and dining rooms. In rooms with ceilings less than 8 feet, use flush mounted ceiling fans. Decorative floor, table and commercial ceiling fans are a good fit for stuffy offices. In any of these spaces, if more ambient light is needed as well as circulation, consider a ceiling fan with light. A large ceiling fan works well in great rooms or large, open living rooms.

Choosing the Best Fan for Your Home
To find the best option, the first thing to do is determine the location and decide if portable or ceiling mounted is preferred. Refine options by category and look through styles that appeal to the home. Properly measure the installation space and choose the appropriate size. Fans are useful outdoors too, creating comforting breezes. The streamlined look of contemporary ceiling fans adds a sense of speed to the modern decor while facilitating a cool breeze. If energy efficiency is desired, the innovation of DC ceiling fans is a requirement.
