How many of you have and use ceiling fans in your house? I sometimes don't know what I would do without mine sometimes, especially in the bedroom, but my grandparents can't stand them and NEVER use theirs Just wondering about you guys.

 

Got one in every room of the house, use them just about year-round.

 

Got one in my living room. I am 6" 2" and the fan is 5' 8'' from the floor. So I crack my head alot. Nothing new. I think OSHA would require me to wear a hard hat. Still trying to figure out how to shorten the shaft. A friend had one in the house that he was watching for some people and their pet parrakeet got loose and flew into it. The fan was on high speed. Poor sucker did not make it. Took forever to clean up.

 

I have a Casablanca in the bedroom - the only fan I have ever been able to sleep under - it makes no noise at all - every other I have seen buzzes. I have that fan on 24/7

 

I have one in every room. I just got a new one in my bedroom, and even got a remote control for the fan. I can control the speed, and the dimmer for the light from my bed. yay! The fan is also quiet too, the only thing I hear is the whir of air.

 

My room is always the hottest in summer months. Vinyl blinds and the addition of the ceiling fan make it bareable to sleep in without waking up in the middle of the night because you've lost 10 lbs in sweat. Both bedrooms have one and once my mom finds the right fan, I'll be putting it up in the dining room.

 

I have several. The one most used is in the bedroom. I don't have any remote control ones though. I like the low tech approach.

 

Wow... I was going to say... exactly what mistercmk said. A.k.a.... ditto.

 

Got one in everyroom too. Even added one to the kitchen and put an old one in the garage. The 2 in my family room have been running for almost 10 yrs non stop. Prolly have an hour or two off. Ya ever notice the first thing the silly designers do on Trading Spaces and the like is take down the fans?? What the hell are they thinking??

 

I have one in every room also. I use them in whatever room I am in.

 

Go to Lowe's or Home depot and tell them your ceiling height and the color of th downrod and they will give you a replacement...
little bit of work to disconnect and replace the downrod, but nothin difficult at all !!!

EeeeeWWWW ?
parakeet and fan - Yech

 

We just have floor fans.

 

Add me to the list of users. I like the bedroom fan the most, but since I have 15 foot ceilings in the living/family room (Raised Ranch), those two fans run most all of the time. They use very little electricity, and are very quiet!

 

Funny this topic came up..
I am finishing my basement and have been looking at different heating options down there. Cooling is not that big a deal, but I had decided on at least 2 ceiling fans to keep the air circulating (1600 sq feet with just 2 rooms).

Well, I stumbled across something new that is due here at Home Depot in October. It is a ceiling fan with a heating unit. It is supposed to be more efficient that baseboard heaters. The only other thing I thought of was a pellet stove (which I may end up trying just for the heck of it). Check the link out below. If anyone has any experiences with it, I'd love to hear about it.

On my wife's suggestion, I installed a fan in each bedroom, the kitchen and we have two in a great room. We're still debating on which direction they should spin at what times. I say that they should be pushing the air up in the winter and down on the summer.
