Choosing a Fan
Selecting the right ceiling fan isn't just about choosing the right color or style.  There are some key factors you must take into account in order to get the maximum efficiency and enjoyment from your fan.  Below are the recommended fan widths and styles for specific room sizes and ceiling heights.  Westinghouse ceiling fans are a very significant part of creating the best possible home decor .  During the past decade, Westinghouse ceiling fans have become much more technologically advanced.  They provide cooling in the summer months and warming in the winter months
 
In today's trend towards higher and higher energy costs, these factors will help you save significant dollars on your energy bill.  In fact, some statistics report up to a 40% reduction in the summer months and as much as a 10% reduction in the winter months and generally use only about as much energy as a 100 watt light bulb.  While the Westinghouse ceiling fan does not actually lower temperatures in the summer, it creates what is called a "cooling effect", giving you the "feel" that it is in fact cooler in the room.  The result is that you can adjust that thermostat to save more money.  In the winter, ceiling fans recirculate the heat in the living areas, again allowing an adjustment in the thermostat to save you dollars on your energy costs.
 
Westinghouse ceiling fans are not only being used in the main living areas of the home, but also on patios, in kitchens and and in bathrooms where dampness may be a problem.
 
Remember, Westinghouse ceiling fans differ in price.  This is due primarily to the materials being used, the overall performance, design and warranty.
