Ceiling Fans Parts

If you own a ceiling fan, you might consider knowing the [ceiling fans parts], it is made of. I bought my ceiling fan to complement the air conditioner installed in my living room. I use my air conditioner in the summers and the ceiling fan in the winter. It saves me a lot on the energy bills. Also, ceiling fans are much cheaper than air conditioners and can be used throughout the year. If you own a ceiling fan, you better know how to repair them, as these contraptions have a very easy tendency to get into trouble due to constant or overuse. To repair a ceiling fan, you need to know the different [ceiling fans parts]. The parts of a conventional ceiling fan are the blades, the capacitors and the motor. Blades are one of the important [ceiling fans parts]. Fan blades should be placed at 12 to 15 degree angles in their brackets for best circulation. It also prevents the wobbling effect of the fan, while moving around. A less than 12 degree angle will mean less circulation of air and waste of energy efficiency. The higher the angle of the blade, the more will be the air circulation. Blades made with wood or acrylic give the best effects. Blades are available at most hardware, electrical or furniture stores. I have bought different colored blades for my fan to match the interiors of my living room. It gives a good, nice, pleasant and airy feeling to watch them move around as you lie on your couch. The more they match with your walls, ceiling, and furniture or curtains the better the feel of using them. Some people have a fetish of using different colors for the three blades. The capacitors are important [ceiling fans parts]. They are electrical power gauges that control the electrical energy being pumped to the motors. The motor itself is the most important [ceiling fans parts] as they are responsible for churning the blades around in circles. Motors with heavy duty windings and lubricated sealed bearings are required for good performance. The motors are difficult to repair and should in most probability be replaced if damaged. Most companies provide guarantees for replacement. I had once the motor badly burnt and fumes coming out of the ceiling fan. I had to shut off power and make an assessment of the damage. Badly burnt motors are hardly repairable and have to be replaced. You can also attach lighting such as chandeliers to your ceiling fan. But this is only supported by models, which have such a facility attached to them. Opal, marble, crystal, glass and hand blown glass can be added to the fixtures to enhance the design of your fan. Warranties are important for ceiling fans as they determine the amount of support you receive from their manufacturers. Some companies offer warranties of a couple of years, whereas others offer lifetime warranties. Though, in lifetime warranties [ceiling fans parts] might not be replaced. Most other warranties allow the replacement of [ceiling fans parts] by the manufacturers during the warranty period.
