purposes but because they are functional. Ceiling fans come in many different designs that range from complex to simple. There are ceiling fans for any space. Some have lighting elements attached while for others there are simple lighting kits you can buy if the ceiling fan you chose did not come with lighting fixtures. When you choose a ceiling fan look for ones that not only meet your needs but will also compliment or match the décor of the room where it is being installed. The simplest designs of ceiling fans are ones that you turn off and on by flipping a switch or pulling a cord. In addition, the more elaborate ceiling fans have a remote control you use to change the speed of the fan and to set up lighting. Some even have dimmers. Most ceiling fans you can buy have at least three speeds but some of the more elaborate ones may have four speeds or more. Most people use their ceiling fans to keep certain areas in their home cooler during the summer but many of the ceiling fans also offer the option of reversing the motion of the fan to help distribute heat during the cold winter months. Some people like to have a ceiling fan in their bathroom or kitchen and because these areas can be wet and damp there are ceiling fans that are designed specifically for these areas. These ceiling fans can also be used in saunas, spa, and pool areas or on your outdoor patio. The blades of these fans are made from materials that are weather resistant. The working parts resist rust and moisture and have a protected motor. To make sure that you are purchasing a ceiling fan for these areas look for the Underwriter’s Laboratory Seal (UL) that shows a wet/damp rating. In addition to there being different ways you can use a ceiling fan there are also different styles. A ceiling fan can have from three to five blades or paddles, ranging in size from over a couple of feet to a little over four feet in length. How many blades and the length of them that you need depend on the size of the room you need cooled. If you are unsure what you will need you can look at the manufactures guidelines. You can also ask the sales person where you purchase you ceiling fan for help. You can purchase ceiling fans in home improvement and major department stores.
