Hunter ceiling fans from The American Fan Company –the environmentally-friendly way to get cool. Temperatures will be soaring this summer, according to weather forecasters. A Hunter ceiling fan from The American Fan Company will keep your house cool as it gives a wind chill factor of up to 5 degrees C.
It is environmentally-friendly as it only uses five per cent of the power required for an air conditioning unit – the fan uses about the same electricity as a 100 watt light bulb compared to the 2,000 to 3,000 watts required for an air conditioning unit.
Peter Lloyd, director of The American Fan Company says: “The Hunter ceiling fan uses much less energy than an air conditioning unit which makes it kinder to the environment. This saves on related CO2 emissions as well. The ceiling fan effectively moves the air around the room, providing a cooling solution. Its patented motor makes the ceiling fans wobble-free and quiet – there are no annoying hums or vibrations. Hunter invented the ceiling fan in the USA in 1886 and it has a worldwide reputation as a quality brand.”
There are 28 models and 25 different blade finishes to choose from, so you can find a Hunter ceiling fan to match any room’s décor, whether it’s the lounge, bedroom, kitchen, home office or hall. It offers a lifetime warranty. What’s more, Hunter ceiling fans are straight-forward to install with minimum disruption – either by an experienced DIY person or by an electrician.
In the winter, save money on heating bills by operating the fan in the slow speed reverse direction. This creates a gentle updraft, which recirculates the hot air trapped in the ceiling downwards, thus reducing heating costs by up to 15%.
Here are just some of the different types of Hunter ceiling fans available:
- The traditional Savoy ceiling fan, with a 132cm blade span, is available in several finishes including brushed chrome
- The smaller Seville, with a 112cm blade span, is also in several finishes including satin brass
- The Carera contemporary three blade design is in a variety of finishes including brushed nickel with maple/dark walnut blades, which are reversible
- The Italian-style Lugano in brushed nickel or white with five blades, halogen lighting and a wall control.
