Handheld fans have been around for centuries, but the electric fan was not invented until 1882. Since that time, fans have come a long way, and they offer us many benefits. Accent Lighting offers the best indoor and outdoor lighting for Wichita area homes and businesses. We also specialize in outdoor and indoor fans. Below, we'll take a brief look at the benefits of fans. Stop by our lighting showroom today!

Moves Air Throughout Your Space

Whether you are indoors or outdoors, the primary job of fans is to move air around. This moving of air is what creates a cooling effect as it passes our skin. They also help to push warm air down during the winter months.

Lower Utility Bills

One of the best benefits of fans is that they result in lower utility bills. Because of the cooling effect they offer, people can use less air conditioning as they can reduce the temperature in the summer by as much as eight degrees in their home or office space. That's a lot of savings!

Less Noisy Than Air Conditioners

Most modern fans are less noisy than air conditioning units that can be heard throughout your home when they kick on. Fans are extremely quiet, and many people love the white noise they provide in their home that can be used to fall asleep to or to cover the sound of kids playing while they work.

Reduces Carbon Energy Usage

More carbon energy is required to run an average air conditioning unit than a fan. This results in big savings over the long term when using fans versus air conditioning. Plus, fans are extremely efficient and reliable, more affordable than air conditioners, and they have less repair needs.
