I think this tends to be a local thing. In some climates they seem to
work well and in others they are worthless. In recent years I believe they
have been over sold and many people in areas that they are not very helpful
for put them in and now a few years later, seldom use them.


I use my ceiling fan (in the computer room) almost everyday. I put
it on when returning from my daily workout or after bathing. It is a
blessing when the A/C needs repair. I have a small four-paddle
ceiling fan in the small room. All my ceiling fans are hard wired to
a switch at the door. I turn it off when leaving the room.
