There are many reasons to install ceiling fans in your home, not the least of which is the money you will save on your home's heating and cooling bills. Energy efficient fans are one of the best things you can put in your home. They keep your home cool and use far less energy than an air conditioner.

About Energy Star

Energy Star is a program that was started by the US government that was designed to promote consumer products that are energy efficient. It has an easily recognized logo.

History

This program was started in 1992 by the Environmental Protection Agency with help by John S Hoffman. It was designed to be a means of reducing the consumption of energy and the emissions of green house gases by the power plants. It start out as a voluntary program that was used to label products that were considered to be energy efficient and has been extended to office equipment, home electronics, lighting and major appliances. It is even applied to some homes and commercial buildings.

Purpose of Energy efficient brand

The Energy Star program has been used to promote the saving of energy and the reduction of green house gases. There are many incentives to using Energy efficient products, not the least of which is the money you will save on utility bills. The environmental benefits are nothing to sneeze at either.

Kits

One of the best ways to make sure that you have Energy efficient fans in your home is to buy the Energy Star rated lighting kit and install it on your fans. This can save you money in that you can retrofit your already installed fans instead of having to go out and shop for new fans. The energy star kit has been proven to cut the amount of energy used by your ceiling fan in half.

Choosing

Choosing the right fans for your home is very important and you should always make sure that the fans you buy are energy efficient ceiling fans. These fans are better for the environment and better for your pocket book. The fan is just as effective as a non-Energy efficient fan, but you have the added bonus of helping the environment and saving money.

Ceiling fans in general can help save money on the heating and cooling costs of your home. Energy Star fans, however, not only keep your home's temperature regulated, they also save you money and cut down on the amount of energy your home uses by quite a bit. When you are shopping for your fan, in addition to looking at cost and style, you should make sure that you are looking for the Energy Star logo. If you have fans already installed in your home, you can buy Energy efficient kits to turn them into energy star ceiling fans.
