Most of us have grown up with the use of some sort of fan in the home, whether it be a window or floor model. Eventually, ceiling fans became popular. Like other fans, the blades needed to be cleaned, and they were often noisy unless set on a low speed. Not much has changed with the style of the electric ceiling fans. Lights have been added, and motors that are of better quality. One big change is that ceiling fans are affordable for most households. Whether an older model or newer one, ceiling fans continue to be energy savers.
When choosing a ceiling fan, there are several options which need to be
considered. One is that that in the US, your ceiling fan is required to be no less than 7 feet from the floor. However, if you have low ceilings, that 7 foot minimum may be unsafe. You need to think about the activities such as dressing, changing bed linens being done under the fan. An average to taller person will hit the fan blades when their arms are raised overhead. One remedy for this is hugger ceiling fans which are made for low ceilings. Hampton Bay makes hugger ceiling fans. The Hampton Bay ceiling fans are found exclusively at Home Depot.
Ceiling fans range from simple to exotic in design. One example which is popular among users of the Harbor Breeze fans is the Harbor Breeze 52″Paradiso Caribbean Brass Celing fan with a candelabra light fixture, in a Caribbean brass finish and fan blades that are in a banana leaf design. There are other models with fan blades having other tropical designs. This particular model, E PAR52CB5C does have a damp rating making is suitable for indoors or outdoors in damp and high moisture areas. The 52″ blades also are best used in a larger room. It does have a UL safety listing, and is Energy Star rated and does consistently receive 5 stars from users.
Smaller rooms fair better with smaller blades. For areas where circulation is poor, it is best to have a larger number of fan blades as well. Smaller, but a higher number of fan blades make less noise. The Harbour Breeze fans are a store brand for Lowe’s. Their site gives full details and customer reviews to a large selection of these fans online. For rooms with low ceilings, Hampton Bay ceiling fans can accommodate most home owners.
