Why Buy a Ceiling Fan? Adding a ceiling fan can be the most energy saving addition to any room and can potentially reduce energy costs by up to 40%. Ceiling fans can be used in the summer and in the winter. During summer, a room will feel up to seven degrees cooler with a “wind chill” effect. (Note: set thermostat to a higher temperature to save on air conditioning costs.) During the winter, run the fan in reverse to re-circulate hot air trapped in the ceiling. (Note: set thermostat lower to save on heating costs) Ceiling Fan Common Terms: Motor Size (MM) · 153 x 10mm: Light Duty · 172 x 14mm: Medium Performance · 188 x 22mm: High Performance · 212 x 25mm: Super High Performance CFM ·This is the measure of total airflow that the fan produces usually at top speed RPM · This is the number of times the fan rotates in 1 minute, it will vary depending on speed Blade Pitch – Angle of blades · Fans are always pitched at the most efficient degree for all fans. A higher pitch requires a stronger motor and therefore moves more air. Amps – The amount of electrical current fan uses · Wired controllers can only handle what amp rating it has. (a 3 amp controller can control 3-1 amp fans) SCA – Sloped ceiling adaptor. · Note: Most fans are compatible up to 30 degrees, a sloped ceiling adaptor will typically increase this for greater ceiling slopes. LCA – Low Ceiling Adaptor. · Note: Any Fan with an Up-Light Kit can not be Low Ceiling Mounted. Fan Sizes

If the fan Includes a Light Kit this can be put on a dimmer and or fan speed / dimmer combo (Fluorescent bulbs are not dimmable) Epact Energy Policy in effect January 1, 2007This newly enacted Energy Policy Act requires all fans to be reversible with separate light and fan controls. Lights on fans may not use medium base bulbs. (Emerson now sells Frosted and Clear Intermediate Base bulbs 40w and 60w for their fixtures) Featured Products
