What is a Heated Ceiling Fan?
The ceiling fan can be a significant cost saver during the summer months. Traditional ceiling fans push hot air down and are estimated to save as much as 40% on air conditioning costs during hot weather. Since heat rises, designers developed a heated ceiling fan that not only redirects the hot air down, but also reheats it to provide greater efficiency during the winter months. A heated ceiling fan is installed just like regular fans. Unlike the regular heating fan, though, the heated ceiling fan has a heating element, which can be turned on or off in order to redirect the flow of warm air downward.
