14. Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily
on
the
proper
installation
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and
product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location. Ceiling
fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the
room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches
from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 - 9
feet above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your
Emerson Retailer for optional mounting accessories.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer,
and
use
of
the
use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill
effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed that
provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume
less energy. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate
the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air
near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember
to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan -
additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with
this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the
ceiling fan to save energy.
