Guide for ceiling fans
Should a ceiling fan always run at the highest speed?
Some ceiling fans do not have a built-in pull switch. However, this has only optical reasons. A regulation in stages, preferably finely graduated, is always required.
In winter
In winter, it is especially important to control the speed of a ceiling fan. High air velocities on the surface of the body cause evaporative cooling, which cools the body. This reverses the benefit of a ceiling fan in winter, which is to return the warm air under the ceiling to the floor area. Therefore, a control system is always needed when using a ceiling fan in winter.
In summer
In summer, due to high temperatures, refreshment is desired. For this purpose, higher air velocities are required. The air flowing over the skin provides an evaporation of moisture on the skin surface and thus a cooling. But be careful: there is often only a short distance between refreshment and a cold. So a speed control for the fan is necessary even in summer!
To control the speed of a ceiling fan, there are generally the following options: by means of radio or infrared remote control, by means of a transformer or with a stepless speed control. Each of these types of control has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the application of the fan.
