In our time, the ceiling fan began to look much more attractive than before and more modern. Despite such a simple function, this fan perfectly cools and plays a very important role in the ventilation of the room. However, its action is not aimed at cooling the premises, but for cooling people during the hot season.
Advantages of fans on the ceiling
In our time there is a huge number of different cooling systems in the premises. Let's look at the positive side of a ceiling fan compared to other cooling devices:
- The ceiling fan power consumption is almost 40% less than other air conditioning systems.
- You can easily have several such ceiling fans in your home at the same time.
- Ease of installation.
- The cost of such a fan is much lower than that of an air conditioner, and cooling is just as good.
- Chandeliers with a fan for the kitchen are very popular because there are not enough people who will put the air conditioner specially in the kitchen.
Ceiling chandelier with fan
You can not only install a separate fan as a cooling system for your home, but also purchase a chandelier with a fan. In this way, the ceiling fan will not take up any extra space on your ceiling.
Fans on such chandeliers can be switched on, either from a switch, as it is under the fan, or from the console. The ceiling fan with remote control is an excellent device that will allow you to control the intensity of the fan and lamp operation without even getting up from your workplace or from the sofa.
What should I look for when buying a ceiling fan with a luminaire?
- Let's preference fans who work not only in one direction. They can be used, both in the summer and in the winter, as air ventilation in the winter will not occur down, but towards the ceiling.
- If you want to buy a fan for the street or veranda, you need to pay attention to its strength. There are special models that are sold for the street.
- The material from which the blades are made should not melt at high temperatures, since during operation the lamp can heat the fan.
- For kitchens and bathrooms, never choose a lamp with a fan that is afraid of moisture.
- Pay attention to household ceiling fans, which have a label with the inscription Energy Star. This means that the fan circulates air more than 20% more efficiently than conventional models.
- If the room in which you want to install a fan has a large area, it is best to buy one that has large blades.
- If your apartment has high ceilings, then only those models that are controlled by the remote control will work for you, because it will be hard enough for you to get to the control element on the fan itself.
How to connect a chandelier with a fan?
- Be sure to disconnect the plugs for safe handling of the wires.
- Differences in the installation of a chandelier with a fan and the usual is not much. The main difference is that a chandelier with a fan has a different ceiling box, so you must always remove the past and put the one that came in the kit.
- Now we determine which wire is responsible for what. To do this, you must turn on the power in the plugs for a while and check the wires on the ceiling with a special indicator. As for chandeliers, they usually have three wiring: phase, zero and red wire from the fan.
- In order to be able to control the fan separately from the chandelier with the help of an additional switch, it is necessary that there be four wires - the fourth one is responsible for grounding. Of course, this applies only to those models that do not have remote control. There are no other differences when connecting such a lamp.
