Ceiling fans are a great addition to any room.
A slow fan speed in the winter will help move the warm air at the
ceiling down into the living area. A more brisk speed in the summer
helps your air conditioner seem more effective. Ceiling fans are fairly
easy and safe to install. All you need is a basic knowledge of electricity
and some basic tools. If you do not have your fan yet, Click

Ceiling fans are available in two general configurations. The
first is a fan-only configuration. This configuration is generally
the most inexpensive and provides the advantages mentioned above.
The second configuration includes a light fixture that hangs below
the fan. Both configurations generally include a multi-speed fan
with a pull chain. If you buy a single speed fan, special power
switches are available to allow different fan speeds.
One word of advice: it doesn't pay to buy the cheapest ceiling
fan available. The cheapest fans are sometimes unbalanced and
tend to swing around. This makes your otherwise elegant addition
look somewhat ridiculous and detracts from the overall appearance
of the room. Spend the extra couple of bucks if you can afford to.
