Tip! Some aspects of ceiling fans have been updated over the years. The inventor of the original ceiling fan, Philip Diehl, made a number of improvements on his first model.
Ceiling fans have been around well over a century and are becoming more popular than ever. You probably have one rotating right now; most homes these days have at least one. Part of the reason is the high cost of energy today compared with a few years ago. Not only does a ceiling fan help cut energy costs in the summer, it will help just as much in the winter if you live where the seasons change, by just turning the switch and rotating the fan blades in the opposite direction and most all fans have this feature built in. By moving the air upwards, the warm air circulates more evenly throughout the room. In the summertime, ceiling fans circulate the air in the room creating a slight wind chill effect, resulting in a temperature drop of about four degrees; it can sometimes feel cooler than that, again saving energy.

Ceiling fans first originated in hot, tropical countries with somewhat poor economies. While more wealthy countries have removed ceiling fans with the advent of air conditioning, the ceiling fan of yesteryear is making an important comeback. This is no doubt due to the continuing escalating cost of utilities and the expense of maintaining a full house air conditioning system. People are finally understanding that comfort doesn’t need to mean cold and in the process they’re able to save significantly on the monthly electric bills. How much savings of course depends on local utility cost and the amount of time an air conditioning system is in operation. Typically though, a 2-3 dollar per DAY savings is not unreasonable if a household can use ceiling fans a major part of the day instead of running the air conditioning system.
