Rising temperatures don't have to mean a rise in your energy bill. Ceiling fans can help cool you during the summer and save you money! If you already have fans in place, check to see whether they are Energy Star qualified. Earning the Energy Star means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The difference lies in improved motors and blade designs.
"Ceiling fans do such an efficient job of circulating air, they should be considered for any room of your home," says Laurie Gross, president of Gross Electric. "There are even models that are designed to be used on outdoor decks and patios."
Many fans now come with integrated lighting or offer a coordinating light kit. Energy Star qualified ceiling fans with lights are over 50% more efficient than non-qualified models, saving you $165 in energy costs over the fan's lifetime. Not only do Energy Star light kits provide great energy savings, but the bulbs don’t need to be changed as often.
Come in to Gross Electric, and let our lighting specialists help you choose the perfect ceiling fan for any room of your home!
