Ceiling Fan Lighting and Energy Efficiency

Adding or replacing a ceiling fan contributes energy efficiency, ample lighting, and updated elegance to a home.  Ceiling fans circulate the air.  When air is evenly distributed, the room feels larger and lighter which is a pleasant experience.  Always replace a fan that is not running smoothly or quietly.  Many choices of ceiling fans are available to address the needs of your space.  The electricians at True Light Electric NM are happy to help you select the correct fan for your needs, or install a fan you have already purchased.

Energy efficiency is a concern of most families today.  The ENERGY STAR Most efficient 2018 designation steers you to fans that are ENERGY STAR certified with minimum power consumption.  The Energystar.gov website lists examples of fans available with energy consumption factors.  Energy and comfort features include a variable speed DC motor and technology to adjust the operation based upon changes in temperature, humidity, or presence in the room.

Lighting is another energy factor in a fan.  Many of today’s models feature an 18W super efficient LED lamp.  Halogen, fluorescent or incandescent bulbs are also available.  Replacing your fan lighting is a great step toward energy efficiency, adequate illumination, and style.

Schedule a True Light Electric NM tech to replace a wobbly, noisy ceiling fan with a quiet fixture featuring a good blade design.  Fans on higher ceilings and in larger rooms make less noise using down rods for installation.  On sloped ceilings install sloped ceiling fan kits.

Blade style, color, length, and material are individual choices.  One trend is the 3 blade prop look.  Ceiling fan blade length should be according to room size.  A table for purchasing the correct fan blade length can be found here. {{{ Please make the word “here” a hyperlink to the URL “https://www.lumens.com/how-tos -and-advice/ceiling-fan-size.html” }}}  Bamboo, aluminum, and koa wood are different blade materials available today.  Also, coordinating the housing finish to your decor adds interest and ties a room together.

Ceiling fans have a directional change switch.  For best operation, run the fan in a clockwise direction during the winter and counterclockwise in the summer.  This will lift hot air during warm seasons and send the warm air from the ceiling in the winter.
