Ceiling fans help circulate air in a room.
Ceiling fans are common additions to rooms, helping circulate air. While they don't necessarily lower the temperature in a room, they can make it feel more comfortable. The ceiling fan size will certainly have an impact on airflow.
Facts
The size of a room will dictate ceiling fan size. For example, a 75-square-foot room needs a 36-inch fan, rooms that are 76 to 144 square feet require a 42-inch fan, rooms of 145 to 225 square feet need a 44-inch fan, and rooms that are 226 to 400 square feet need a 54-inch fan.
Features
Ceilings fans come in a variety of styles and finishes to match your d cor. Nickel, brass, bronze and white metal fan housings are common. Blades come in white, oak, cherry, mahogany, pine or natural, allowing you to coordinate with your room's fixtures.
Purpose
A properly sized and installed ceiling fan allows you to set the thermostat of your central air conditioning unit two to four degrees warmer. With the additional air circulation, you'll most likely not notice the warmer temperature in the room.
