Overwhelmed by the Many Choices for Ceiling Fans?

Do you know how to choose the right ceiling fan for your space?

Are you overwhelmed by the many options available? Do you feel as though you don’t know the difference between the many different types of ceiling fans on the market?

We can help!

 For instance… did you know that airflow and blade shape matter? Pay attention to the cubic feet per minute (CFM) numbers on the boxes when you’re buying a ceiling fan. A higher number means more air movement. Fans with the most airflow predictably make more noise, but Consumer Reports’ tests showed most noise was wind noise, not motor noise. Smooth fan blades are likely your best choice if you’re looking for a quiet fan.

Are You Getting the Best LED Lighting Product Available?

In the era of incandescent/fluorescent lights, “quality” was not necessarily the operative word when it came to assessing lighting products and suppliers. 

Consumers and manufacturers were more concerned with how long it would take until the lamp burned out. It was simple – better products had longer life, while cheaper ones needed to be replaced more often.

However, in today’s era of LED and solid state lighting, the quality of the design and build is once again becoming an essential part of the LED luminaire selection equation.

Ceiling fans can add comfort to your home or business and save you money, but you want to be sure you’ve made the right choice. Consumer Reports found that “you can save 3 to 5 percent on air-conditioning costs for each degree you raise the thermostat. Using a ceiling fan, which costs little to run, can make you feel up to 4° F cooler.”

Light Quality is Back in Style with LEDs

An LED installation often represents a substantial long-term investment in improved, value-added illumination and savings in energy, replacement, and maintenance over many years. So what happens when the product doesn’t deliver?

According to Electrical Construction and Maintenance Magazine, “when corners are cut on key production elements for price considerations, such as the type and quality of components selected and how they’re designed, assembled, and integrated into an LED, the result can be a product with hidden deficiencies.”
