From summertime cool-downs to winter-ready temperature maintenance, ceiling fans are a home staple and decorating essential. The American Lighting Association (ALA) offers these five reasons why homeowners should consider a new ceiling fan for their home. Advantages of installing a ceiling fan
1. Keep Your Home Energy Efficient
The breeze a ceiling fan creates can help reduce the need for air conditioning and can save money on utility bills. When paired with an ENERGY STAR rated AC unit, the savings are even greater.
2. Recirculate Stuffy Air
