Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan

Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fans: Classic, Elegant, And Practical!

Winter has, at long last, come to an end. Many of us are looking forward to getting outside, enjoying the sunshine, lying out by the pool, or trips to the beach. Summer is a season of energy and activity, but the one thing most Americans can agree on is that high energy is great for outdoor sports, but bad for the power bill. Especially during the months of July and August, the air conditioner rarely seems to take a rest. How can you lower your bills without sacrificing comfort during those hot summer days?

One of the best ideas is installing a ceiling fan, even multiple fans for different parts of the house. Running a ceiling fan uses about as much energy as you'd use in a 100 watt light bulb, while circulating air and keeping a room more comfortable. During spring and fall, running the ceiling fan in a counter-clockwise direction may keep a room comfortable enough that you can open the windows rather than running the AC. Fans come in a huge variety of styles and price ranges, from a simply, no-frills model for under $70 to a remote-controlled brushed nickel ceiling fan that lends a touch of elegance to any living room.

If you're looking for something more along the lines of the brushed nickel ceiling fan, you have a few options. The Minka Aire Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan is a wonderful choice, and at 56 inches each, the blades provide maximum air circulation. It uses a single 100-watt halogen bulb, and at a $439 retail price, is a worthwhile investment for any type of environment. For those who want to keep it simple and inexpensive, a great choice might be Hunter's Beacon Hill 42" Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan. It comes with a light that uses three 60-watt incandescent light bulbs, and uses WhisperWind, which means that the fan runs so quietly, you won't even notice it's there. At $110, this is an economically-sensible and highly rated ceiling fan.

For those who are installing the fan in the hopes of saving energy, you can cut your bills even more by choosing an Energy Star rated ceiling fan. These models always carry the Energy Star seal, and use up to 60% less energy, which is better for your wallet and for the enviroment. Whatever your needs or style of decor, from brushed nickel to simple wood, there's a ceiling fan out there to suit you. Happy shopping!
