Ceiling Fan Installations in Brisbane
Did you know the air conditioner is among the most power hungry appliance we operate in our homes? As temperatures are beginning to soar in Brisbane early this year, it’s worth considering some more energy efficient cooling options – especially in the face of rising energy costs.
For most Queenslanders some form of home ventilation is necessary but this doesn’t always have to translate into artificial cooling methods like an air conditioner. For spare bedrooms and smaller rooms like studies ceiling fans are the perfect cost effective solution to hanging multiple split system air conditioner systems, or even more costly – a ducted air conditioning system.
Ceiling Fans versus Air Conditioners
• Cost – Ceiling fans only use around 1/5 of the energy of an air conditioning system. They have been known to save up to 40 per cent of a quarterly power bill when compared to an air conditioner being used for the same period. They can also be used effectively in conjunction with an AC to cool a room more quickly and affordably, allowing you to set the thermostat on the AC higher which can make a big difference to power bills.
• Less Maintenance – Once ceiling fans are installed, they will be good to go for several years without any maintenance needed. Air conditioning systems on the other hand need regular servicing and filter replacements so they can operate effectively.
• Healthier and Natural Air – Since ceiling fans don’t actually change the chemistry and temperature of the air, they are a healthier and natural alternative to an air conditioning system. Instead of changing the actual temperature of the room, ceiling fans circulate air around the room helping to evaporate sweat and bring the body’s temperature down.
Today’s ceiling fans are even more efficient with their blade contour, controls and light weight design, and with styles that allow them to become a feature of a room, instead of an eyesore.
This summer don’t bother with those ineffective pedestal fans, instead install ceiling fans with their height advantage and the actual power to do the job. Call your trusty local electricians for ceiling fan installation in Brisbane at Bevan Robinson Electrical on (07) 3893 2792
