Cooling

Vanessa Craig of Jet Black Fan Systems talks us through the energy efficiency of modern ceiling fans.

What is the latest development in cooling our houses?

There is a noticeable increase in interest in economical cooling solutions for homes and businesses, both from the perspective of lowering expenses as well as a desire to be more sustainable. People want to look to save money both on capital investment in their homes but also in operational expenses. They are also looking more closely than ever at the efficiency of systems to ensure they can afford to operate them to their best. This is moving people away from air conditioning back to ceiling fans, both in the home and office, as an effective yet very efficient cooling method. This trend is being seen in New Zealand and globally.

What other factors are there?

Using fans is a brilliant method for air circulation that promotes healthier homes with better quality indoor air. They are so easy to use, with adjustable speeds, and indoor and outdoor rated fans with up to five years warranty. Fans also have a good end-of-life recycling opportunity. Further, this residential fan range can be used in conjunction with HVAC systems to help them be more efficient and effective, and can integrate with your smart home. Haiku Fans is a global brand that’s popular in the United States and Australia, and is now available in New Zealand through Jet Black Fan Systems.

Who should consider using fans?

Anyone who wants to maximise energy savings should choose fans instead of, or in conjunction with, an air conditioning system. By adjusting the thermostat and running times, you can efficiently circulate the air so your system doesn’t have to work as hard. Modern fans are also architecturally pleasing and suit many home designs and styles. This trend should be seriously considered by homeowners, interior designers and architects for use in homes, office buildings, hospitality and small retail buildings.
