Outdoor Ceiling Fans are devices that circulate the air in a space to cool the area and make homeowners and visitors more comfortable. They are mounted to the ceiling, run on electricity and have blades that rotate to produce airflow to either cool or heat up a space. Outdoor ceiling fans are placed on a ceiling in an open area such as a verandah to most likely cool down a space from heat.
Outdoor Ceiling fans are so popular among homeowners as they are cost effective ways to cool down a space whilst being an energy efficient alternative to air conditioning systems. It is extremely saving on your electricity bills when using outdoor ceiling fans as they use a fraction of energy that an air conditioning system would use. Outdoor Ceiling fans directly circulate the air in an outdoor space and create a wind chill effect to make the space feel cooler, providing an effective way to resolve heat-related issues outside without causing high electricity bills. The MAIN reason as to why ceiling fans are more popular outdoors as opposed to air conditioning systems is because outdoor areas have large open spaces and the cold air in conditioning systems finds it difficult to reach homeowners, whereas ceiling fans have more powerful cooling systems. In addition, outdoor ceiling fans are flexible in the way that they are used all year long through cold and hot settings. These outdoor ceiling fans have a reversible setting where the fan blades spin in the opposite direction during colder months to redistribute warm air and make the outdoor space warmer.
Your ceiling fan should be an appropriate size for your outdoor space where it is large enough to provide adequate cooling or heating yet not too big that it disrupts the exterior designing, aesthetic appeal or functionality of this verandah space. You should also consider the placement of your ceiling fan in this outdoor space to achieve optimal effectiveness. This means that your ceiling fan should most likely be placed in the areas that you are most likely to be in order to enhance comfort, whilst considering the safety risks that it poses.
Yes! There are many extra augmented features offered on outdoor ceiling fans such as built-in lighting which can replace the lighting in your outdoor space and therefore help you save on lighting and electricity bills as they offer LED lighting. LED lighting is environmentally friendly and therefore helps you contribute to an ecologically sustainable world. This can also be achieved as outdoor ceiling fans offer DC motors as opposed to AC motors which are more energy efficient. Many outdoor fans have smart controls that allow you to control the speed of your outdoor fans, enhancing the comfort of you and your visitors especially during hot temperatures. Some outdoor fans have timers where users can automate the outdoor fan to cool a space without needing to turn it on directly. Further, most outdoor fans have reverse settings where blades spin in the opposite direction to heat up the area, vital to be used during cold temperatures outside.
