Matthews Fan Company Vent-Bettina Ceiling Fan
How do ceiling fans work?
Ceiling fans are motor powered which gives them the power to circulate air throughout a space. Ceiling fans create a cool breeze and move air to specific locations of the room or space. They help to increase the air circulation but do not cool the area like air conditioning units do. Ceiling fans are great for creating a wind chill effect. This is where the fan creates a breeze that makes the moisture on your skin evaporate. The wind chill effect does not change the temperature in the room but instead makes you feel cooler.
Can a ceiling fan fall?
Yes, a ceiling fan can fall. Ceiling fans can break from the ceiling mount causing serious injury. Some of the reasons ceiling fans can fall include:
- Incorrect Installations
- Component Overuse
- Fan Imbalance and Wobbling
- Poor Maintenance
We recommend using an electrical junction box that will support the ceiling fan. Ensure the junction box is NEC compliant and comes with a fan brace as well. We advise using a junction box that is rated for the fan’s weight.
