The first ceiling fan appeared in the early 1860’s and at that time they were not powered by an electric motor\u00a0but powered by a\u00a0stream of running water in conjunction with a turbine to drive a system of\u00a0belts\u00a0which would turn the 2-blade fans.\u00a0 During the energy crisis of the 70’s, ceiling fans were ever increasing in popularity due to the economics of the time.\u00a0 By the year 2001,\u00a0the old standby functional ceiling fan\u00a0became very decorative and highly technical, newer companies brought well built fans with distinctive designs to the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike air conditioners,\u00a0fans only move the\u00a0air, they do not change the temperature, therefore ceiling fans have an electrical switch on the side of the fan that changes the direction of the blade rotation.\u00a0 In the summer, the fan’s direction of rotation should be set so that the air is blown downward (counter clockwise).\u00a0 In the winter, the blades should be rotating\u00a0in a clockwise direction, bringing the cold air up forcing the warm air down and set on a slow speed.\u00a0 Thus the thermostat can be set to a few degrees lower to save energy, while maintaining the same level of comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n
