Your Ceiling Fan
A ceiling fan doesn’t just look good. It’s a great way to save money and energy, not just in warm weather but also, with proper seasonal rotation, in the colder months.
With a ceiling fan you can have energy savings, lighting and a style statement all in one.
Choose the Right Fan
- Size matters so get a ceiling fan that is large enough for the room it will be in.
- Quality matters too, and a cheap ceiling fan will have a weak motor, provide sluggish airflow, and work noisily.
- SESCOS can help you with the perfect selection to suit your style, needs and budget.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Your best and safest bet is to call a professional electrician. Installing a fan isn’t particularly complicated but when it comes to electricity, always make your family’s safety your first priority.
- Turn off the power and make sure you’re not overloading the circuit.
- If necessary, an electrician can run a new circuit from the main panel to the fan.
- Fans can weigh up to 50 pounds, so make sure your ceiling has a sturdy mount.
- SESCOS can perform the full installation, whether your room is prewired or not, and on any type of ceiling.
- Add a Remote Control and Other Features
Make life even easier with a feature that will let you control the on switch, lighting effects and blade speed.
- Most fans that fit tightly against the ceiling can fit a remote panel, but so-called “down-rod” styles may not.
- At SESCOS, we can help you find the right fan and wire it for remote control.
- An electrician can check the frequency on your remote and determine if it needs adjustment.
Consider Smart Features
- Use “smart” technology to control dimming, rotation and blade speed.
- These features can usually be added without replacing or rewiring your home’s electrical system.
- SESCOS experienced technicians can show you how to make the most of your fan’s features.
Steps for a Vaulted Ceiling
If you’re installing the fan on a vaulted ceiling or other place where you can’t get easy access, follow these tips for success.
- Use a pancake box to position the fan.
- Consider removing the blades and replacing them after you finish installing the fan.
- Consult a qualified, professional electrician to make sure your fan is installed safely.
Proper Seasonal Ceiling Fan Rotation
Get the most out of your new fan by rotating its direction each season.
- In hot weather, have the blades move counterclockwise to send cool air downward and create a wind chill effect.
- You’ll feel comfortable while shaving off half your air conditioning costs.
- This is also a great option for cooling down an outside area like a porch or patio.
Use your ceiling fan in cold weather to keep cozy and save on heating bills.
- A clockwise rotation will force warm air downward into the room.
- You’ll feel warmer while using less heat.
- New “smart” features let you control rotation at the touch of a button.
