Fan forced
Although fans are generally regarded as cooling devices, a low speed, reversible fan can help provide comfort in winter. One of the problems of providing constant, overall warmth in a room is the natural movement of heat. In any warm room the air will be hottest at the ceiling and coolest at floor level. A ceiling fan on reverse rotation (pulling air instead of pushing it down) will. move 'the warm air across the ceiling and down the
walls. There is no draught associated with this method and, if doors to other areas in the house are opened, the heat will move to those rooms. Because of the efficiency of this system there is a considerable saving in fuel use and power costs over a winter period. The ceiling fan uses about 40 watts and will only eat up about one unit of electricity every 25 hours of running.
