By creating a draft, they provide you with a degree of comfort without actually reducing the room temperature. But did you know that ceiling fans are just as effective during those chilly Perth Winter months. By simply reversing the rotation of the blades to anti clock wise it enables the ceiling fan draw warm air down from the ceiling, keeping you comfortable all year round.
Ceiling fans can be installed both internally and externally, they are great for bedrooms and living areas but are also super effective when used under external pergolas or pool cabanas where air conditioning is an ineffective method of cooling.

There are two types of ceiling fan motors
AC motors & DC motors
What are AC motors
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that reverses direction and is the type of current that is distributed by most electricity companies. This type of power source is what creates the movement of force that is required to rotate the rotor of the motor by producing mechanical energy from an electrical input.
What are DC motors
Benefits of using a AC ceiling fan
- They do not require a transformer as alternating current (AC) is supplied to your home or business by your electricity supplier
- They cost less to manufacturer therefore they are cheaper to purchase and are cheaper to maintain
- The ceiling fan speed can be controlled by a wall controller or a remote controller
- They come in a wide range of options and finishes
- Although they are not as efficient as DC ceiling fans, they are still energy efficient
Disadvantages of using a AC ceiling fan
- Less ceiling fan speed options
- They can generate excessive humming noise that can be quite frustrating when used in bedrooms
- The motor size cannot be made smaller without compromising the performance of the ceiling fan and can limit manufacturers when designing new AC fans
Benefits of using a DC ceiling fan
- Can consume up to 70% less power than AC ceiling fans making them extremely energy efficient
- They have can have up to 7 speed settings offering more control and flexibility
- They are lightweight and slim offering a sleeker look
- Reduced humming noise of up to 80% when compared to AC ceiling fans, making them great option for bedrooms
Disadvantages of using a DC ceiling fan
- They made their debut in 2016 and are still relatively new, making them cost more to purchase than an AC ceiling fan
- The majority of DC fans only come with remote controllers which can be considered less functional or reliable when compared to wall controllers. The batteries can die and suddenly need replacing or they can be easily misplaced or broken. Some DC ceiling fans do have an optional wall controller that can be purchased separately
AC ceiling fans or DC ceiling fans, which is the best:
If you are searching for a ceiling fan that is almost silent and you would like to have maximum control over the speed settings, then a DC ceiling fan would be a great ceiling fan to consider. AC ceiling fans are a great option for outdoor spaces like pergolas and pool cabanas where noise is not an issue.
It important to compare the features and costs tied to both types of ceiling fans and choose the right fan for you.
