Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on
the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a
few tips to ensure quality and product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location. Ceiling
fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the
room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from
the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 - 9 feet
above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your Emerson
Retailer for optional mounting accessories.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use
the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow
produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect,
making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a

comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less energy. In
the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at
low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a
gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down
into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your
thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional energy
and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the
ceiling fan to save energy.
