South Bend Ceiling Fan Installation

Reliable & Experienced Electricians in Michiana

Ceiling fans only cost pennies to run, but their benefit far outweighs this small cost. Compared with the large expense of air conditioners, ceiling fans are an attractive and useful alternative cool air source.

With a ceiling fan, you can turn down your thermostat about four degrees without any reduction in comfort. They can also help lower your heating bills in the winter. Just flip the small black switch on the base of the fan to reverse the ceiling blade direction. This forces warm air near the ceiling down to the living spaces and is especially effective in homes with high ceilings.

At McCormick Electrical Services Inc., we can install a ceiling fan in any space, even ones that have higher than average ceilings. In fact, there is an art and science to making sure your fan is in the ideal position. If you have any questions regarding which brand or type of fan would be best for your space, we can answer them. We’ll advise you to properly consider looks, the number of blades, and the voltage necessary to power it.

Are 3 Or 4 Blade Ceiling Fans Better?

A lot of people thing this just comes down to style or personal preference, but there are performance differences between the two types of fans. A 4 bladed ceiling fan is less noisy and works better in a room with an AC unit because it helps move the cool air around. However, 3 bladed ceiling fans move air around faster and are cheaper than 4 bladed ones.
