Like any other household appliance, you need to take good care of your ceiling fan in order for it to keep working properly and last you for many years. Here are some ceiling fan general maintenance tips for you to keep in mind: 1. Turn off the ceiling fan when not in use.

These light kits are made specifically for ceiling fans, though some of them can double as separate light fixtures, and come in...

For one, bathroom fans have shorter blades which are made of heavy-duty plastic or metal, making them more resistant to moisture. These blades are not exposed, though, but are typically hidden behind a metal or glass case. Indeed, the bigger difference between regular ceiling fans and bathroom ceiling fans...

Most ceiling fans are equipped with reversible motors that allow them to produce not just a cooling effect but also a heating effect by keeping the warm air down during cold weather. Some ceiling fans, though, can do more than this since they have integrated heating elements. These are called heater ceiling fans or ceiling fan heaters, combining both heating and ventilation functions to make them more productive. The most popular example of a heater ceiling fan is the Reiker Room Conditioner, invented by Ken Reiker, who, during his work with the US Energy Department Building Technology...
