Select the Right Ceiling Fan for Your Space

Ceiling fans are a wonderfully versatile accessories for year-round comfort. They keep your living areas cool on balmy summer days and circulate warm air during the crisp winter months. They’re also perfect for undercover alfresco areas to maintain a breeze and keep the bugs at bay. Best of all, they can also save you money by reducing gas and electricity bills. We’ve compiled a guide on how to select the right ceiling fan for your space — whether indoors or out.

Energy saving

Ceiling fans can reduce your energy bills in summer by up to 40% when used in conjunction with an air-conditioner. Direct current fans are a newer technology that uses considerably less power and are more energy efficient with a quieter operation and lower motor temperate while in use. The criss-cross design of the Java is unlike any other fan on the market.

Your ceiling fan should be installed at least 30cm from the ceiling, with the blades at least 2.1m from the floor. The classic design of the Palm Cove has a Victorian-era aesthetic, which suits those who like the colonial or period-style look.
