7 Useful Tips On Improving The Airflow Of Ceiling Fan

Ceiling fans have a major function in lowering the temperatures of your room to give you comfort during times of warm weather. In addition, this appliance can be a decorative element while hanging from your ceiling. To obtain maximum efficiency, go for designs that have the potential to cool the room while ensuring that energy consumption is at a minimum. In addition, the size of the fan blade will determine how powerful and effective your fan is. Always go for fans with a long blade that can cover a wide area as wide revolutions have a fast cooling effect. Below are tips on improving the airflow of your fan.

7 Useful Tips On Improving The Airflow Of Ceiling Fan

1. Manipulate the switch

You will find a switch situated atop the housing of the ceiling’s motor. When it is hot, your fan’s blades will move counter clockwise. Supposing you have air conditioning, you can vary the thermostat setting to 5 degrees or more without compromising on the level of comfort experienced. During relatively warm weather, you do not have to use the air conditioning as long as your ceiling is working fine. When it is cold, blades will turn clockwise. Set up your fan to rotate clockwise on a slow mode. This action creates a warm draft that then circulates around the room.

2. A fan for each room

One ceiling fan is obviously not enough to fulfil all your warming needs. While this could seem costly, the truth is that to manage the internal temperature of your home, you need several fans complementing each other’s flow of air. If you do not, the warmth in one room is negated by the cold in the others. This is not to say that you need an additional fan for each of your rooms. On the contrary, you only need fans for rooms that come into regular use. Doing this will not only increase your comfort during the warm season, but will also enable you to reduce your consumption of energy.

3. Space considerations

Place the fan in the right space. You should use the blade span to measure the efficiency of the fan you are using. Divide your fans into those for the smaller rooms and those for large areas. For example, a 29-inch blade span may be great for bathrooms and hallways. However, the same size will not be good enough to improve the airflow of your sitting room or the guest end of your home. Keep in mind that the larger your room, the larger the size of the blade that will be needed to push air around efficiently.

4. Distance from the floor

For the best circulation of air, keep your ceiling fan at least six feet from the floor. At the same time, strike a balance in such a way that you close the distance between the fan and the ceiling to around 8 inches to give it the correct wriggle room to gather air around it in as much volume as possible in order to cool it and re-circulate it. Sloping ceilings work best with different types of fans as the movement of air from one point to the next becomes easier. Controlling the slope will help you achieve the best effect.

5. Adjust the Angle of the blade

The blade pitch refers to the angle lean of your ceiling fan blades as they move through the air. Control the angle of the movement such that there is a pitch balance. Flat pitches ensure that the blade does not encounter too much resistance as it moves through the air .However, the problem with a pitch that is too flat is that the fan will move slowly and loudly and may even wobble. A steep angle works in such a way that the revolutions take some effort to initiate as the blades encounter too much resistance. This wastes energy and increases the chances of wear and tear. Adjust the blade angles accordingly.

6. RPM

This is a standard for the measurement of the speed of the fan in revolutions per minute. Depending on the type and sophistication of the appliance, some fans come with a remote control, increasing your ability to manipulate their efficiency. You can control the speed of revolutions to enhance comfort and control airflow to an agreeable point. For example, during warmer weather, you need rapid revolutions to create a cool environment. Exercise caution as too high RPM's will consume too much of your power. Managing the airflow and reducing fan noise will depend on the specific set of conditions at a point.

7. Maintenance

To keep your airflow at an optimal level, you need to carry out regular maintenance practices on its parts. While cleaning, you can disassemble the whole unit to check and replace any broken blades. Follow the directions on cleaning blades that come with the warranty and always place your blade on a dust free area, taking care to label the upper and lower sides. This action prevents confusion when screwing the blades back on. You can use a piece of wet cloth for thorough cleaning. Do it gently so as not to risk leaving marks.

Every time you clean one blade, rinse the piece of cloth and move along to the next blade with the clean cloth. If you have cleaned the fan recently, vacuuming it will be more than enough. When the blades dry, screw them back on.
There are several ways of managing your ceiling fan to ensure a good flow of air and reduce the electricity bill at the same time. However, the most important part about a ceiling fan is the buying. When you go hunting for fans, you need to pay particular attention to blades. Even though big blades are good, big does not always translate into efficient, as there are other factors involved. It is good for the blade to be big but it is also important to look at the design .Some have a good tilt, others are too heavy while yet others wear out too easily. The fan motor controls the revolutions of the blades. Look at the motor before purchase. Motors that are cast in aluminium die are efficient last longer than those that do not.
