When buying your first ceiling fan there are many questions that you have and the answers of course will affect your choice on which ceiling fan to go for. Here is a look at some of the most asked questions when it comes to a ceiling fan and their answers.

 

A. In actual fact the ceiling fan doesn’t affect the temperature of the room directly like an air conditioning unit does. A ceiling fan creates a breeze by the paddles which in effect causes you to feel cooler. 

 

A. The directions of the paddles is the important factor here. A ceiling fan disperses air and wind around the room, if the paddles are going in one direction this creates a breeze which cools you down. If the paddles go in the opposite direction this doesn’t create a breeze but it disperses the air around. In the winter when you have the heating on it can make a huge difference to disperse this warm air around the room usually meaning you don’t need to have the heating on as high or as often.

 

A. This is purely down to your preference. If you need a ceiling light as well as a ceiling fan then it makes sense to go for a ceiling fan with a light. If you do not need a light and prefer the fan without one then go for a plain ceiling fan. The light does not affect the functionality of the ceiling fan or its quality.

 

A. The specific controls will depend on the type of ceiling fan you go for but generally speaking you have the option of off, low, medium and high. The low is great for a gentle breeze and the high control really gives off a lot of air in the hotter months.
