Spread your Wings with Decorative Ceiling Fans
During the summer months, you can make a room feel up to seven degrees cooler by creating a "wind chill" effect just by using decorative ceiling fans. In the winter, you are able to reverse your fan to bring down the hot air that tends to rise towards your ceiling. Savings for these methods could run as high as 40% in energy bills.

Indoor/outdoor decorative ceiling fans are gaining popularity as we spend more time on patios and porches. There are two different types of outdoor ceiling fans. A damp rated fan can hang under a covered porch or close to a pool but cannot get wet. A wet rated outdoor ceiling fan can be installed in uncovered areas with direct exposure to rain. Circulating the air outdoors is also important and an airflow rating of 4-5 is recommended.
With energy costs soaring and everyone trying to create a greener world, decorative ceiling fans continue to help in efficiency with blade control, exhaust fans and the latest in aerodynamic technology. Whether your taste is in modern, antique, brass or wicker, there is no doubt you will be able to find just the right model for your individual taste.
