In today's environment of increased energy consciousness, quality design also mandates greater efficiency. With this in mind, Casablanca is dedicated to creating fans that work smarter, not harder so that each element is fine-tuned to contribute to overall savings in energy costs. The powerful Casablanca motors move more cubic feet of air per minute (CFMS) while using significantly less energy. Fan blades are set at the optimum pitch to provide maximum airflow at each speed setting. Even at the highest setting, each fan consumes about the same number of power as a 100-watt lightbulb. Furthermore, a large number of Casablanca fans are Energy Star - qualified; and provide ever greater energy efficiency. Consumers can realize additional savings on energy costs by using the forward and reverse settings, which allow for incrased circulation on air in the summer and winter. Best yet, consumers can save up to 40% on cooling costs and 10% on heating costs by operating a Casablanca fan year around. Whoever said getting the utility bill had to be a bad experience?
summer
Ceiling fans cool PEOPLE (not rooms). In hot weather operate the fan in the NORMAL direction. This creates a cooling "wind chill" effect to make you feel 8 degrees cooler. Research has shown that you can then raise the thermostat setting, resulting in reduced air conditioning energy consumption of 40% or more. Remember: operating fans in empty rooms just wastes energy, so turn it off when you leave the room.
WINTER
In the cold weather, operate the fan in the slow speed, REVERSE direction. This creates a gentle updraft, which recirculates the hot-air trapped at the ceiling to provide even, comfortable heat throughout your room. The recirculation of warm air allows you to lower the room's thermostat setting, resulting in energy savings of 10% or more.
