Do Ceiling Fans Really Save Energy?

All of Modern Fan’s 22 fans succeed as economic cooling systems and architectural statements. New this year are modern fans with efficient contoured blades (the Velo, Velo Hugger and Pensi fans), high-output lighting (the Cloud and Lumina fans) and the first time in the Modern Fan Co. collection, a chandelier-scaled glass shade (the Lumina fan).
Founded in 1997 by designer Ron Rezek, Modern Fan is the only company to focus solely on designing and producing contemporary ceiling fans. Although refreshingly simple in appearance, each involves mastery in design, powerful motors, maintenance-free bearings and Rezek’s invention of blades that insert directly into a single-piece rotor.
Rezek has been a successful lighting designer since the 1970s. When he designed the first contemporary-styled ceiling fans in 1986 and then launched The Modern Fan Co., he sought to not only create attractive ceiling fans, but ones that efficiently incorporated lighting solutions. The Lumina and Cloud fans offer full, high-output illumination with either conventional or energy-saving compact fluorescent light.
Rezek was also an early supporter of the EPA’s Energy Star program. Modern Fans cost just pennies a day to run and save on utility bills. The Velo, Velo Hugger and Pensi fans also incorporate new blade designs that increased air movement.
Modern Fans keep you comfortable while helping to reduce energy consumption. Like a nice breeze on a warm day, moving air offers recognizable relief from heat and humidity. This effect, known as “evaporative cooling”, allows for upward adjustment of your AC thermostat by as much as 8 degrees, resulting in up to 40% reduction in power consumption. Additional reductions and savings are gained in cooler seasons when Modern Fans are used to re-circulate heated air that would otherwise remain trapped or stratified near the ceiling. Furthermore, we offer longlife, color-balanced compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) options with nearly all of our products, using only 25% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent or halogen lamps.
