Before installing a ceiling fan remote control, use the pull chain to set the fan to its highest speed and use the other pull chain to turn the lights on. This is the required pull chain setting that the remote needs to work properly. FAQ Q. Where is the receiver box supposed to go? Ceiling fans circulate the air in your house, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They save on your electric bills by giving your A/C and heater a break. Most ceiling fans have lights, so they’re a great two-for-one deal. Instead of a bulb, the light uses a long-lasting LED light board, so there will be no inconvenient bulb changes required either. Also, the light and the fan can be used independently of each other when only one function is required.

A ceiling fan will remove unwanted heat from the conservatory, and they’re also surprisingly useful in the winter months too. Ceiling fans are much more cost-effective than air conditioning, and you don’t need a lot of space, as they are simply mounted to the ceiling. Conservatories can get uncomfortably hot, especially in summer, but there isn’t always a lot of space for cooling fans on top of everything else that’s needed in there. That’s why the Reiga Bright White Ceiling Fan is so useful; it combines an adjustable ceiling light with a fan unit to make the conservatory a more comfortable place to be in all seasons.

Cold white light may not appeal to everyone (although it can also be useful if you need to illuminate the space clearly). It can help to choose a light with a range of colour options so that you can be sure there will be some warmer/more neutral tones. At first glance, you would be forgiven for mistaking the Moerun Ceiling Fan for being just a standard (albeit stylish) ceiling light. Unlike some ceiling fan lights, this Moerun model had a good choice of lighting options available – you don’t just get lumped with one, uncomfortably bright, setting.

Turn off the breaker for the room where the ceiling fan is located before you install the receiver inside the fan. Look out for fans with built-in lights . These are particularly helpful in conservatories because there’s not always space for a light as well as a fan. Be aware that these lights are often bright LEDs. Therefore, it can help if the light has different brightness settings or a dimmer switch . As you can see, the main advantages of using a ceiling fan over air conditioning relate to cost, ease of use and making environmentally-friendly choices.

Wall hooks When it comes to the light, it’s very bright – potentially too bright for some people to use later in the evenings. But it works well even in rooms with high ceilings, with enough potency to powerfully illuminate the room. During hotter weather, the remote-control fan can be set to one of six wind speeds to provide either a subtle, gentle breeze, or a stronger circulation of air around the room. There’s a timer as well, which can be set to either 1 hour, 3 hours or 6 hours, to avoid leaving the fan on for longer than necessary by accident.

A remote control comes included, from which it’s possible to change the light colour, activate the fan, and control the fan speed.

Ceiling fan remote control kits can be universal or specific to a particular brand of ceiling fan. Most ceiling fan remote controls will list the compatible brands in their description. This makes it easier to determine if the receiver will fit inside the fan housing, but it isn’t a guarantee. Your best bet is a kit that is specific to the brand of your ceiling fan. Universal kits are usually cheaper, but they don’t always fit. Batteries Due to the curvature/angle of fan blades, the direction that they spin in can alter the effect they have on the air. Usually, blades spin in a direction that force the air downwards to create a downdraft. This cools the room.

On the first two speed settings, this is a very quiet fan. It gets marginally louder on the third (and fastest) setting, though not enough to be too disruptive – it just might disturb sleep. But conservatories aren’t the most practical of rooms, as on hot days when the sun shines onto them, they can get exceedingly hot. The interior traps UV and heat even if it’s overcast outside, and opening the windows tends to do very little! Metal is one of the most popular choices. This is a good choice for conservatories as it’s durable, stylish and should be rust proof. Unit weighs 8 kg so requires a suitable ceiling support which may make it unsuitable for some conservatoriesThe higher the number of blades, the more natural balance there is within the fan. This means that a fan with more blades tends to produce less noise than one with fewer blades. Reversible blades are another good feature to look out for, and these will enable your ceiling fan to be used in summer and winter. A conservatory is a beautiful place to relax in the spring and summer months, bridging the gap between your home and garden. You’ll also need to consider the length of the blades, and this will naturally come down to how much space you have. For medium/large conservatories, blades over 100cm tend to work well . These will be better at circulating cool air around bigger spaces. However, for small conservatories, you may need to consider models with shorter blades under 95cm .
