It's that time of the year again when a ceiling fan plays a crucial part in cooling down a home to a comfortable level.  We all know how the economy is going these days and central air may not be in everyone's budget and not so economically friendly.  Selecting the best ceiling fan will make a big difference in the cooling down of your home, but beware when you choose your ceiling fan to take into consideration these tips because there are many fans that do not generate the air flow and will leave you very hot and unhappy.

Throughout the years I have tried several ceiling fans and have come to the conclusion that Casablanca ceiling fans generate the greatest performance in a ceiling fan.  Here are some reasons as to why buy a Casablanca Fan

• They have the most powerful motors in their class as well as offer a lifetime warranty on several motors
• Heavy-gauge copper windings and larger stack heights provide quieter, cooler operation
• The dynamically balanced rubber silent flex flywheel absorbs vibration and eliminates noise
• Lifetime lubricated precision ball bearings ensure maintenance free performance
• XLP and XLP plus motors draw less than one amp of energy the equivalent to a 100 watt lightbulb the cost to operate the ceiling fan is 6 cents per day.  This is 50 times less energy than an air conditioner
• Fan blades are set at the optimum pitch to provide maximum airflow at each speed setting
• You can save up to 40 percent on cooling costs and 10 percent on heating costs by operating a Casablanca fan year round
• Also many of Casablanca Ceiling fans are energy star rated

I personally own several panama ceiling fans in my home, and I have never seen a fan that works so great and is super quiet.  Call me at any time and I will help you select the perfect fan for you, as well as get the correct size fan for your room. 

When shopping for a ceiling fan, ask yourself a few questions about the fan(s) you currently own or have owned in the past.

1. Are your fan's materials chosen solely for quality and durability?
2. Are your fan's blades made of real wood (not fiberboard)?
3. Is your fan's motor powerful and quiet and covered by a lifetime warranty?
4. Could your fan be easily installed by one person?
5. Is your fan's finish jewel-like?
6. Does your fan's design leave no room for compromise?
7. Is your fan supported by a nationwide In-Home service network?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, congratulations - you are the owner of a Casablanca ceiling fan. If not, you should upgrade to a Casablanca model that will provide you with style and comfort for many years to come.

Casablanca fans offer quality in every detail, including timeless design, quality parts, and superior energy efficiency. Casablanca products represent the synergy of elegance, versatility, efficiency, endurance, and comfort.

Casablanca fans are also engineered to work smarter, not harder, which contributes to energy savings. Casablanca motors move more cubic feet of air per minute while using significantly less energy. Flan 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 amount of power as a 100-watt bulb.

Superior engineering and thorough testing and inspection make Casablanca fans high-quality products that withstand the test of time. Casablanca also creates long-term relationships with customers by offering the most comprehensive warranty and service programs in the industry.
