Capitol Lighting Offers Ceiling Fan Lighting, Tips on Ceiling Fan Installation and Ceiling Fan Contr

Reduce energy consumption and shed warmth on the winter chill with fine quality ceiling fans for year-round comfort. Ceiling fan lighting can provide excellent quality overhead light in almost any room, and with the experts from Capitol Lighting, ceiling fan installation is a snap.

In the summer, ceiling fans run counter-clockwise to provide cooling comfort. But, for the winter, there is a ceiling fan control that allows the fan to run clockwise sending warmer air into the room. By circulating the air in your room, hot air that accumulates at the ceiling will be evenly dispersed thereby providing energy-efficient comfort and lower heating bills.

If a ceiling fan also includes a light fixture, you may maximize your energy savings by replacing the incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Also, consider buying Energy Star-rated ceiling fans which are more efficient than conventional ceiling fan lighting units.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Web site, Energy Star-rated ceiling fans move air up to 20 percent more efficiently than conventional models due to advanced blade and motor design, and Energy Star-rated ceiling fans that have light fixtures are about 50 percent more efficient than kits with regular lights, and they produce about 75 percent less heat.

Several ceiling fan manufacturers make ceiling fans that meet the government's Energy Star requirements, including Casablanca, Kichler, Minka Aire and Savoy House.

Visit a Capitol Lighting showroom to view the latest designs in ceiling fan lighting, fine lighting and home accessories. Certified lighting consultants are available to provide the answers to help your ceiling fan installation a success.

Try Casablanca's “Reverie”* fan or MinkaAire's “Lineage. These fans are equipped with motors that have lifetime warrantees.

*With its classical ornamentation, elaborate decorative elements, and timeless quality, the Reverie ceiling fan is a stunning example of the 1920s, design movement known as Beaux Arts. Its hand-painted brushed walnut motor fan body and antique gold-accented uplight derive from the shape of a Corinthian column. This fan includes a 12" downrod that is decorated with a scroll and palm leaf motif and a 3" standard downrod. It also comes with a stunning downlight with a textured Scavo glass shade. To create an atmosphere of year-round comfort, choose the Carved Wood blades that complement the Reverie's opulent design.
