6 Benefits Of Ceiling Fans And Why You Should Have One

1. Saves You Money

Ceiling fans are like your personal discount on your air conditioning or heating bill. Running an AC all day can make your electricity bill pretty scary. A ceiling fan? Not so much. It cools you down without greatly increasing the cost of your monthly electric bill.

2. Cools You Off

This one’s obvious. Ceiling fans give you a breeze that makes a hot room feel more bearable, without the need for turning the whole house into a refrigerator. If you or your family are in one room, why cool the entire house? A ceiling fan helps cool you off in the room that you’re in – not everywhere else.

3. Year-Round Comfort

Some people have the misconception that a ceiling fan is just meant for cooling you off – it’s not. During the winter or colder months – just flip the switch and your ceiling fan can push warm air down from the ceiling – remember, heat rises. When you change the direction your ceiling fan is rotating, it gently moves warm air lower into the room, making it a more comfortable place to be during the winter time without using your heater.

4. Adding Style

Ceiling fans aren’t just functional pieces – they can add a level of flair to your room. There are plenty of different style ceiling fans these days, so you can find one that matches your rooms look – whether that’s sleek and modern or rustic and cozy.

5. Fresh Air Flow

Ceiling fans help move air around your room. Moving air means less stale air and fewer allergens floating around. This is an especially important benefit for those who deal with allergies, or just those who like breathing in fresh instead of stale or stagnant air.

6. Added Lighting

Many ceiling fans today have lighting built right in. This is especially beneficial for rooms that tend to be a bit under-lit. This added lighting also comes without the cost of taking up more useable footprint in your room. 

6. Versatility

Ceiling fans aren’t just for inside your house, they can be used outside as well. Whether indoor or outdoor, a well placed ceiling fan shares the same benefits for either space.

At the end of the day, what’s not to love about ceiling fans? They save you money, keep you comfortable, increase lighting to your area, add a touch of style, and even make your air feel fresh and not stagnant. So next time you’re thinking of ways to beat the heat or just give some more style to your room, don’t overlook the idea of adding a ceiling fan.
