Why get a ceiling fan?

A ceiling fan is an absolute must-have during the hot summer months and in the cold winter months. Ceiling fans will help keep you cool in the heat and nice and warm in the winter. During winter, a ceiling fan will efficiently redistribute warm air from the ceiling, which can also help lower your electricity bill, and who doesn’t want that? In fact, while running at full speed, most ceiling fans only use as much electricity as a 70-watt light bulb.

Not only are ceiling fans practical and will help keep you either cool or warm depending on the season, they also look great. Ceiling fans have come a long way over the last few years, and today you can get some truly stunning ceiling fans that can brighten up your home and become a part of your home décor. 

At vidaXL, we also have gorgeous ceiling fans with lights. These fans will both illuminate and cool your room. Our ceiling fans with lights come in various colours such as silver, black and many other colours. 

Types of motors in a ceiling fan

When it comes to fans, there are usually two types of motors: AC and DC. AC is the older technology used in fan motors. These motors usually come with a three or five-speed wall controller and a remote control. In most cases, there is a switch on the fan you need to flick in order to switch the fan between summer and winter mode. 

DC, on the other hand, is the newer and more modern technology. DC motors are quieter than AC, and they consume much less power. These types of fans come with a five or six-speed remote control.

Moreover, fans also come with different types of fan blades. Back in the day, there were two main types of fan blades; wood and metal. Wood fans are generally quieter, making them a good choice for the bedroom. Metal fans are typically able to push more air through, which also makes them noisier. More recently, ABS plastic blades are also starting to be popular. They are both quiet and move air efficiently, bringing you the best of both worlds.

When it comes to placing your ceiling fan, you want to think about where it cools - or warms - the most. You get the most cooling effect of a ceiling fan directly below it. Therefore, you might want to invest in a big ceiling fan if you have a big room in order for everyone to get the most benefit from the ceiling fan. Although if it’s in the bedroom, you can usually make do with a smaller fan as you only need it to cool on the bed.

Summer versus winter

There is a difference between summer and winter mode when it comes to ceiling fans. Depending on which way the fan spins, it can either help make a room feel warmer or cooler. 

During summer, the ceiling fan should spin counter-clockwise as this drives the air downward, creating a wind chill. This can make the air feel up to 10 degrees cooler. During winter, however, the fan should spin clockwise. Warm air always rises which means it gathers near the ceiling where your ceiling fan is conveniently located. By spinning the ceiling clockwise, the fan redistributes the air throughout the room.

If you know that you will need a ceiling fan both during winter and summer, it’s important that you make sure that the ceiling fan has a reversible motor.

Terms you need to know about ceiling fans

When it comes to ceiling fans there are a few terms that are good to know. Let’s go over them: 

• Blade span. The blade span measured the true width of the fan while in motion. 

• Blade pitch. The pitch is the angle of the blade. 

• Airflow efficiency. The efficiency tells how much air the fan moves per watt of electricity it uses.

Different types of ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are both practical and add a level of sophistication to the room when choosing the right design and style. So let’s take a look at the different types of ceiling fans you can get on the market today:

• Classic ceiling fans. If you have a classic, minimalistic home, a classic ceiling fan is right up your alley. A ceiling fan in a classy style will beautifully blend into your home and help create a balanced, coherent look.

• Contemporary ceiling fans. If you have a modern-styled home, a contemporary-styled ceiling fan is exactly what you need.

• Outdoor ceiling fans. If you have an outdoor dining space, you may also need a ceiling fan here. Especially, if the area is covered and you wish to enjoy your coffee or dinner outside.

• Portable fans. A portable fan is a great option if you want to be able to easily move your fan around or if you live in a rental and don’t want to install a ceiling fan. 

With so many options, we are sure that there is a ceiling fan that suits your needs.

Things you may not know about ceiling fans

While on the topic of ceiling fans, why not take a look at some fun facts, myths and other things you may not know about ceiling fans?

• Ceiling fans can also heat the room. Yes, everyone knows that a ceiling fan is great during the hot summer months, but it can also keep you warm during the cold, dark winter months. 

• Ceiling fans cool people in two ways. When it comes to ceiling fans, they cool the body in two ways: by aiding convective cooling and by aiding evaporative cooling. Also, ceiling fans can only cool when they move air over the skin.  

• Bigger is better with ceiling fans. If you are interested in airflow and you need your ceiling fan to be effective in most of the room, you need it to be big. The small fans may be cute and decorative, but they are of little use in a big room.

• Keep it at a lower speed. Don’t overthink it, but your fan is more efficient when you keep it at a lower speed.

• The efficiency tells you how well it moves air. This will tell you how much airflow you get for the amount of electrical energy you put in.

By now, you pretty much know everything there is to know about ceiling fans. 

How to choose your new ceiling fan

Now that you more or less know everything there is to know about ceiling fans, you are ready to choose one. So let’s go over some good things to consider when choosing your new ceiling fan.

1. Where is the ceiling fan going to be placed? The bedroom, living room or outdoors? For instance, if you are looking for a ceiling for the bedroom, you probably want to choose a relatively quiet ceiling fan, so it doesn’t keep you from falling asleep. If you are getting an outdoor fan, it may not be as important that it’s quiet.

2. How big is the room? As mentioned earlier, the bigger the room, the bigger the ceiling fan you need. If you have a large room but choose a small ceiling fan, you simply won’t get the benefits you are looking for with your ceiling fan.

3. What is your style like? It’s important to choose a ceiling fan that matches the rest of your room. This ensures that it blends in beautifully with the rest of your décor. 

4. Do you need to use your ceiling fan both during summer and winter? If so, you need to check that the ceiling fan has both summer and winter modes.

5. What’s your budget? You also need to consider what your budget is before buying your new ceiling fan. Ceiling fans come in every price range, so decide how much you are willing to spend on your new fan. Luckily, at vidaXL, our ceiling fans are affordably priced so you won’t be breaking the bank when buying a ceiling fan from us.

These are the most important things to consider when it comes to buying a new ceiling fan. Once you have considered these questions, you are completely ready to buy your ceiling fan.
