Ceiling Fan Installation in Ottawa

Looking for ceiling fan installation in Ottawa? You’ve come to the right place. Our electricians are experienced in installing all types of ceiling fans in residential and commerical settings.

Ceiling fans move air and promote circulation in a home. Fans improve or control coolness, warmth, odors, and humidity. During the summer months, they circulate air to keep you cool but are also useful in winter at slow speed to circulate the hot air from your central heating system away from the ceiling and speeding up the convection rate.

Ceiling fans remain an easy way to add distinction and ambiance to your home. They can also be a premium when you list your home for sale. Stylish ceiling fans come in all configurations, sizes, and colors, and can add to your furnishings. Connect a lighting kit with your fan for even lighting across all rooms.

As the days continue to heat, sometimes A/C is a bit too much. Ceiling fans don’t cool the air; they generate air movement to cool you down. If the temperatures aren’t too heated, a gentle breeze in your family room, bedroom, even outside areas can be more than enough.

As the warmth continues to climb and you turn on your A/C, ceiling fans can add to the efficiency. An A/C can cool the air, but a ceiling fan can circulate it everywhere in your room. And in doing so, it can allow you to increase the temperature rating a degree or two because the air movement makes you feel more relaxed. A higher setting means your air conditioner won’t operate as much, reducing your utility bills.

If A/C costs are lowered even by a few cents, ceiling fans could still be worth it. On average, fans can help save four to seven percent on cooling costs when coupled with an air conditioner.

Ceiling Fan Installation tips

1. A fan’s efficacy indicates how well it moves air

Every new ceiling fan sold is labeled with its efficacy. For fans, the degree of efficacy is how much airflow you get for the amount of electrical power you insert. Its units are cubic feet per minute of airflow over watts (W) of electrical energy. A dependable fan will give you more than 100 cfm per watt; a cheap one may be as faint as 30 cfm per watt.

2. Bigger ceiling fans are better

While you are comparing those labels, you may notice a similarity. Fans that have long blades have the best efficacies, and those with the stubbiest blades have the worst. You should avoid the little short-blade fans, no matter how charming, if you’re interested in airflow. If you want cute, though, go right ahead.

3. Lower speeds are more effective

Another item you will see when viewing fan efficacy markers is that you will get added cfm per watt when you operate the fan on medium than on high and further still on low than on medium. The only reasonable conclusion here is to get the largest fan you can fit into the room, with proper clearances, and run it on the faintest speed that keeps you comfortable.
