Ceiling fans can be an energy-saving, "green" addition to any home, adding more value than many homeowners realize.
Did You Know?
- Most ceiling fans use only about as much power as a 100 watt light bulb
- Energy Star® ceiling fans (available from Westinghouse) circulate an average of 15% more air than other ceiling fans, and use 60% less energy than a 150 watt incandescent bulb
- Used properly, ceiling fans can save you money in winter as well as summer: up to 10% in heating costs and up to 40% in air conditioning costs
- Turning off the air conditioning, opening a few windows and turning on an efficient ceiling fan can make you feel up to 8 degrees cooler (and save up to 40% in air conditioning costs!)
- Peak energy savings are realized by placing ceiling fan blades 10-12 inches below the ceiling and 7 to 9 feet above the floor
- Ceiling fan airflow can be an effective deterrent to flying insects
Designed for Low Ceilings
The Westinghouse Contempra Trio fan is one of Westinghouse's Hugger series of fans, which are specially designed for rooms with low ceilings. This 42-inch ceiling fan is best suited for medium-sized rooms, such as recreation rooms, living rooms, or children's bedrooms.
Reversible Blades and Reversible Switch
The Contempra Trio's five blades are reversible, so you can choose the finish that best suits your room's decor. The attractive wooden blades operate smoothly and efficiently.
For year-round comfort and maximum energy savings, Westinghouse ceiling fans include a three-speed, reversible switch that allows the ceiling fans to be used during cool or warm weather. In the summer, keep your home cool by running your ceiling fan counterclockwise. In the winter, run your ceiling fan clockwise to circulate warm air from the ceiling, eliminating cold spots and drafts.
Light Kit with a Trio of Frosted Glass Shades
Equipped with a light kit, the Contempra Trio fan features three lights that hang beneath the center of the fan. The lighting fixture's frosted glass shades provide a soft hue of light. If you choose, use compact fluorescent bulbs to increase efficiency and reduce your energy costs.
There are five different styles:
