What Are Your Ceiling Fan Choices?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mike_Selvon]Mike Selvon

A ceiling fan uses mounted paddles that rotate and circulate air, which in turn produces a cooling effect. When ceiling fans originally hit the US during the latter 1870s, they were powered by a turbine and a small steady flow of water that operated belts, which would then rotate the paddles on two paddled fans. This arrangement became popular in offices, restaurants and stores because several fans could run at the same time. Many of these original units are still used in the southern US.

Ceiling fans with water driven components were constantly undergoing changes and improvements, such as adapting a motor that was originally engineered by Philip Diehl for use in sewing machines. The Diehl Electric Fan actually operated much like the common modern day ceiling fans, with each having its own motor that eliminated the need for the belt systems that were both bulky and costly.

Naturally, with the popularity that went along with the indoor ceiling fan there was heavy competition with everyone trying to outdo Diehl's original setup. However, he continued to work on the ceiling fan and making improvements, such as developing ceiling fan light kits that served to replace any lighting fixtures that had to be removed during the installation of the fan.

Fortunately, ceiling fans have continued to evolve throughout the years. Because of this, many different makes and models are now available. They run the gamut from strictly functional or whimsical, to a fashionable accessory, both simple and complex in design.

There are many companies that produce excellent products, such as the Casablanca Fan Company, Hunter, Hampton Bay and Fanimation, to name a few. The Fanimation ceiling fans have become very popular due to their innovative designs, ensuring that you will find something that suits your style and taste.

While ceiling fans are practical that does not mean they have to be boring. There is a huge selection of unique and popular fans, especially through a company called Fanimation. This type of ceiling fan has an unprecedented number of variations through its lighting, fan blade, finishing and many other accessory options.

It can be customized so there will be at least one or several styles that will suit your needs perfectly. A Fanimation ceiling fan has several unique designs, such as the Islander with a palm leaf fan blade and the Palisade that has a vertical rotation design. Another style that has become very popular is the contemporary Enigma, which is a single blade fan.
