Ceiling Fans -- (Spin it Again, Sam)

Decorative ceiling paddle fans heat, cool and dry up a room. What's more, they save money on energy and utility bills.

Many people don't realize that ceiling fans are big-top performers and three-ring crowd pleasers for all seasons. First, they cool a home by gently circulating air during the hot summer months and, second, when blades are reversed, they warm a room by bringing heated air down from up above. Third, that same movement of warm air helps dry up condensation on window interiors and cold, clammy walls. That's a three-ring performance that's hard to beat. Decorative ceiling paddle fans are world-famous, big-top performers that make any living space more comfortable. They heat, they cool, they dry up a room -- and save money on energy and utility bills, too. There's also the sheer classic, timeless beauty of an overhead fan. Where would Bogart in Casablanca be without a tuxedo, a girl, intrigue and a singing sidekick piano man in a smoky club cooled by a slow-turning fan? Bogie with a cool drink and a smoke in his hand looks up at the ceiling and that fan, and says "Okay spin it, spin it again, Sam." And that's the On The House tip for today.
