A well-constructed and properly sized ceiling fan can make your home more comfortable when it’s scorching outside and can improve the circulation of air all year round. The ceiling fans came into existence in the late XIX century as machines that were used to produce pleasant breeze for homes and restaurants. Almost a century later, in the late 1990’s, the manufacturers came up with a modern, advanced technology for the ceiling fans that made them a big hit worldwide.
The humble ceiling fan has come a long way since its inception way back in the industrial revolution. The real inventors of the ceiling fans were actually the industrial workers. They used to spend long hours slogging at the factories without having the opportunity to get outside for a fresh air, so using their creativity and innovation, they would attach wooden or metal blades to the rotating shafts that were used to drive the machinery they were working on. They had the same purpose then as they do today which is keeping people cool. And I don’t mean “Madonna level cool”, I mean “now I have the will to live in hot summer days” cool.
After a hectic day at the office, coming home and pressing the magic button that will switch on the ceiling fan is everyone’s ideal way to survive an incredibly hot summer afternoon. Another great advantage ceiling fans provide us with is the fact that they are the perfect budget-friendly gadgets that won’t make you cry at the end of the month when the electricity bill comes. That’s the air conditioner’s way of sorting things out. However, ceiling fans and air conditioners can work in tandem and that’s one darn swell pair of useful gadgets we should all own.
Apart from reducing heat and making everyone in the room feel more comfortable, ceiling fans are in a way beautiful accessories as well, which means they provide the best of FF: function and fashion. The most popular are the traditional (vintage) ceiling fans that make all hipsters go crazy for them all over again. Finally, it’s important to mention that if a room’s ceiling is too high, all the information mentioned above is useless. When you have an exceptionally high ceiling, the distance between it and the floor won’t allow for you to enjoy the benefits – you simply won’t be able to feel the breeze.
