7 Reasons to install ceiling fans in your home

With the development of air conditioners, ceiling fans have started to seem a little outdated or old-fashioned. But I tell you, with new stylish models on the market and incredible hi-tech upgrades, ceiling fans are making important design statements and providing refreshing utility to its patrons.

Curious to know more? You are in the right place. We have put together seven reasons why ceiling fans are the next best thing for your home.

1.    They are adjustable to suit the season

With new technological advancements, ceilings fans now have the feature of changing the direction of the fan. They can spin either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and these directions are useful for different seasons.

When the fan spins anti-clockwise, the edges of the blades are directed upward, pushing air down below the fan. It creates a cooling effect, and this is best for hot periods. With the clockwise fan direction, the blades’ edges are pointed downward, causing the fan to release warm air stuck near the ceiling. This configuration is best for cold periods such as harmattan.

With fans that come with remote controls, this feature can easily be accessed. If not, there is a toggle switch just below the fan blades, for this purpose.

2.     They will save your money

With the current unit price of electricity being N72.40 excluding VAT, you are probably looking for how to lower your electricity bill. You are turning off light bulbs not in use, putting off the AC as soon as it cools the room, and probably even thinking twice before you use the washing machine. You are doing anything to minimize energy consumption in your home.

But with ceiling fans, you don’t have to worry. They consume minimal energy and are an economical alternative to ACs.

3.    They keep the peace and quiet.

Gone are the days when fans used to be certified noisemakers; when you could hear them from a mile away, and when you would struggle to watch the latest episode of Super Story over their noise.

Today’s fans are as quiet as can be. They are sleek, fast, and practically soundless. You probably won’t even realize they are running until you feel their sweet, cool breeze.

4.    They have some hidden health benefits

We all know what fans do—make the air cool and take the heat off a particularly hot day. But upon closer inspection, they move air around the surface of the body and make the skin cool. This prevents cases of dehydration or overheating, as body temperature is well regulated.

Additionally, you are guaranteed to have a great night’s rest with ceiling fans; and a better quality of sleep boosts immunity to illnesses and diseases.

5.    They are a great opportunity for additional lighting

If you’ve ever wondered about illuminating your home, then let me introduce you to a less obvious way you may not have considered. Modern fans come with in-built lighting which will brighten up darker spaces in your home, or even just make a perfect design statement.

6.    They make great focal points

If you are interested in aesthetic designs and such, then you know how essential focal points can be. Who wouldn’t want to walk into a room and have their attention grabbed by some design element in the room? It’s the surefire way to wow your guests, and even yourself.

So, with modern ceiling fans and their captivating designs, you can create a focal point for the rooms in your home and make the interior pop. They work well in large rooms and rooms with high ceilings.

7.    They do not take up living space

Unlike standing air conditioners and other fittings in your home like furniture and appliances, ceiling fans do not take up living space. Why? Because as their name implies, they are fixed in the ceiling and ceilings are unlikely to be a living space.

So, when you make the decision to install fans, you do not have to worry about creating space in your home for them. They are invisible without being invisible.
