Ceiling fans, will they be worth installing for a 7 ft ceiling ?
Question:I am on an energy conservation page, an excellent one and they say if one installs ceiling fans, they can lower the room temp by 20 degrees which saves on A.C., BUT MY CEILINGS ARE ONLY 7 ft.and my house is only 1100 sq ft. but every penny counts, any construction type people have ideas or answers ?
Answers:
You can buy a 'hugger' or 'flushmount' style fan. It does not drop far from the ceiling.
A better idea might be one of those large decorative iron wall mount fans. They look great and will get the air circulating. Here's an example: http://www.littmanbros.com/store/item.as...
Yes
I'd be a little worried about tall people constantly getting smacked in the head. Maybe you should consider some large room fans instead of a ceiling fan.
Yes. My house is the same and I have one in every room. It really does help.
yes, the fans will save energy. You do need the "ceiling hugger" type fans. My ceilings are 7'6" and I have 8 ceiling fans. They do save on the AC costs.
