How to Save Energy and Money with Ceiling Fans

Most people are aware that installing ceiling fans is an energy efficient way to control their home’s temperature. However, if you’re trying to minimize costs and get the most out of your ceiling fans, it’s important to follow a few guidelines. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we help property owners in Fort Worth, Texas and the surrounding Metroplex get the most out of their electrical system and appliances. We want our local communities to have an affordable way to beat the heat during the sweltering North Texas months. Here are a few ways you can get the highest return on your new ceiling fan investment. Ceiling Fan Installation in Fort Worth

Proper Placement is Important 

Fans work by circulating the air in a room more efficiently. If you want to get the greatest success, proper placement during installation is key. Ceiling fans work best when they are 7 to 9 feet above ground. You’ll also want the blades to be roughly 8 inches below the ceiling and at least 18 inches away from any walls. Those with vaulted ceilings, or small spaces may need to be creative and strategic about where the best place to install their fans. 

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call  they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

Adjust Rotation When Seasons Change

After installing your new fan, you’ll want to find out whether your fans should rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. If you feel a breeze from the fan, then it will be on the summer setting, meaning it is bringing the air down below the fan. This setting will give a cooler feeling on your skin. In the winter, you should flip this rotation so the air is being lifted from the ground and more evenly dispersed. This will make it easier for your heater to do its job in the colder months. 

Turn Ceiling Fans Off When No One is in the Room

Ceiling fans don’t cool by lowering temperatures, but by creating air movement and improving circulation throughout the room. Therefore, if no one is in the room to benefit from the air flow and breeze the fan provides, then you are simply wasting energy. Always turn the fan off when leaving the room for long periods of time. 

Choose a Fan with Lighting Features 

Combining your ceiling fan and lighting will help to maximize your energy needs. If you install a fan without lights then you may need to purchase a separate light fixture. Running an entirely different appliance could increase your utility bills. Increase savings even more by using LED light bulbs.
