In today's environment of increased energy consciousness, quality design also mandates greater efficiency. With this in mind, Casablanca is dedicated to creating fans that work smarter, not |
harder, so that each element is fine-tuned to contribute to overall savings in energy costs. The powerful Casablanca motors move more cubic feet of air per minute (CFMS) while using significantly less energy. Fan blades are set at the optimum pitch to provide maximum airflow at each speed setting. Even at the highest setting, each fan consumes about the same amount of power as a 100-watt lightbulb. Furthermore, a large number of Casablanca fans are ENERGY STAR - qualified; and provide even greater efficiency
Realize additional savings on energy costs by using the forward and reverse settings, which allow for increased circulation of air in the summer and winter. Best yet, save up to 40% on cooling costs and 10% on heating cost by operating a Casablanca fan year-round.

| In cold weather, operate the fan in the slow speed, REVERSE direction. This creates a gentle updraft, which recirculates the hot air trapped at the ceiling to provide even comfortable heat throughout your room. The recirculation of warm air allows you to lower the room's thermostat setting, resulting in energy savings of 10% or more.
| Ceiling fans cool PEOPLE (not rooms). In hot weather, operate the fan in the NORMAL direction. This creates a cooling "wind chill" effect to make you feel up to 8 degrees cooler. Research has shown that you can then raise the thermostat setting, resulting in reduced air conditioning energy consumption of 40% or more. Remember: operating fans in empty rooms just wastes energy so turn it off when you leave the room.
