When you buy a ceiling fan from Design House, you're investing in quality craftsmanship, innovative design, and energy-efficient solutions that enhance the comfort and style of your home. In this article, we’ll cover the details on what stands out about Design House ceiling fans.
Certifications
Design House ceiling fans are UL/ETL listed for use in damp locations, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. This certification guarantees that the fans have been rigorously tested for safety and performance, providing you with peace of mind and reliable operation. These certifications ensure the fans are built to withstand moisture, making them perfect for areas like covered patios, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Seasonal Settings
One of the unique features of Design House ceiling fans is their ability to adapt to seasonal changes, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year.
Summer: Counter-Clockwise Rotation
During the summer, set your ceiling fan to rotate counter-clockwise. This direction creates a gentle breeze that circulates air and provides a cooling effect. With the fan running, a room set to 78°F can feel like it's 72°F, allowing you to use less air conditioning and save on energy bills.
Winter: Clockwise Rotation
In the winter, switch your ceiling fan to rotate clockwise. This setting helps break up the stratification of heat, forcing warm air that has risen to the ceiling down into the living space. This can significantly reduce the temperature variation from ceiling to floor, making the room feel warmer at a lower thermostat setting, thus saving on heating costs.
Energy Efficiency Data
Energy efficiency is a key consideration when choosing a ceiling fan. Design House provides three critical energy efficiency data points for our fans:
Airflow at High Speed: Measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), this indicates the volume of air moved by the fan. A higher CFM means more air movement, which is particularly beneficial for larger rooms.
Electricity Use at High Speed: Measured in Watts, this excludes any light kit and shows the fan's power consumption. Lower wattage use means lower electricity bills.
Airflow Efficiency at High Speed: Measured in CFM/Watt, this compares the airflow to the power consumed, indicating overall efficiency. For example, 49" to 60" ceiling fans have airflow efficiencies ranging from approximately 51 to 176 CFM/Watt at high speed, providing you with options to suit your needs.
Mounting Options
Design House ceiling fans offer versatile mounting options to suit different room configurations:
- Hugger Fans: These mount directly to the ceiling without a downrod, ideal for rooms with low ceilings.
- Tri-Mount Adaptable: This feature allows the fan to be mounted with a downrod, in a close-up configuration, or on a vaulted ceiling, providing flexibility for various room designs.
Design House ceiling fans are a smart investment for any home, combining style, comfort, and energy efficiency. With their certifications for damp locations, adaptable seasonal settings, detailed energy efficiency data, and versatile mounting options, these fans are designed to meet a wide range of needs and preferences. When you buy a ceiling fan from Design House, you’re investing in quality and innovation that enhance your home's environment while saving on energy costs.
