Once you experience the energy-efficient cooling power of a ceiling fan, you won't want to live without one.
Ceiling fans have become more technologically advanced and are an important part of creating the perfect home décor. They are a great source of energy-efficient climate control; spring, summer, fall and winter.
In the summer months, a ceiling fan cools a room up to seven degrees by creating a "wind chill" effect. And for those hot, humid days of summer, there’s nothing more wonderful than a cool breeze.
In the winter months, run your fan in reverse to recirculate the hot air trapped near the ceiling. And by setting your thermostat lower, you’ll save on heating costs as the fan provides even, comfortable temperatures throughout the room.
Ceiling fans can be used in all of the main rooms in your home, patios, verandas, kitchens and bathrooms.
Summer Comfort:
Fans spins counter-clockwise.
Cools by creating a wind-chill effect.
Save on air conditioning
Winter Comfort:
Fans spins clockwise.
Recirculates heat from the ceiling to the living area below.
Save on heating bills.
Reduce your energy bill and stay comfortable too!
Due to the rising energy costs of cooling and heating your home, this is the perfect time to experience the benefits of owning a ceiling fan. Installing a ceiling fan(s) in your home makes perfect sense because it improves your heating and cooling systems efficiency. You will drastically save on your energy bill up to 40% in the summer and 10% in the winter, using only as much as energy as a 100 watt light bulb. Either way, you conserve valuable energy, making a ceiling fan a wise investment for you and the environment.
A ceiling fan can pay for itself very quickly. According to statistics, it costs only a penny an hour to run a ceiling fan versus 43¢ an hour to run a central air conditioner; or 16¢ an hour to run a room air conditioner. You save money every day you use a ceiling fan - 365 days a year.

No water comes out at all when I turn on hot water.
By: Pratt | 09-09-2008
I turn on the hot water at any faucet and no water comes out of the tap at all. If I turn on the cold, cold water still comes out, it's just the hot water that has a problem. This happens every few days and lasts for an hour or several hours, and then suddenly hot water will start to flow normally. What the heck? Thanks.
I broke my electricity...
By: patrick | 09-09-2008
I plugged in a wireless router to a surge protector in my bedroom the other night and there was a flash and a puff of smoke. Immediately, the lights in my room, hallway livingroom etc. (basically the whole left hand side of my house.) went dead. After checking the circuit breaker and finding nothing was tripped I said a few bad words in the dark. Then after about 20 minutes the lights slowly faded on. I now have limited power on the left side of the house but not enough that I can run more than one or two things. I have no hot water or clothes dryer because they are wired on that side and if I try to use the hair dryer it shuts off the tv. HELP! I think there may be a break in the wiring or perhaps I just need to replace the circuit breaker.
