Did you know your ceiling fan has a hidden switch? But how important is it to switch your fan from summer to winter mode, can it keep you more comfortable and does it save you money?
But ceiling fan s can also help with the heating of your home and saving on energy bills during the cooler months — and unlocking their potential is as simple as flicking a switch.In summer, ceiling fan s remove the warm air from around our bodies to create a wind-chill effect and cool us down. In winter, they can help redistribute the warm air around a room
This redistribution of warm air can dramatically change the overall ambient temperature of a room and make it a few degrees warmer than it otherwise would be.If you have purchased a ceiling fan in the past few years, Mr Barnes says it's "almost certainly going to have reverse mode". Although using reverse mode on your ceiling fan together with a reverse-cycle air conditioner has some benefit, Mr Barnes says the difference is less pronounced than when using a heater because air conditioners "have got their own fans for distributing the air around".
"Overall, you're going to end up using less electricity, even though you're running a fan, because the ceiling fan itself is dirt cheap to run."
