This fan costs a bit more than others in its class, but it is Energy-Star compliant thanks to the 36-watt circeline flourescent that comes with the unit--so if you happen to need to use the light often, you will save some money on electricity. The fan’s unobtrusive styling and streamlined appearance make it suitable for contemporary style rooms. Five large, high-efficiency blades (54 inches from blade tip to blade tip) and a powerful motor will provide superior air movement in large rooms. The unit can be flush mounted for low-ceiling situations and mounted on vaulted (sloped) ceilings as well. Triple capacitor speed control and sealed bearings (no oiling) combine for quiet, smooth operation. The unit has three speeds and can run in reverse, thus it is effective at cooling a room as well circulating warm air that has collected near the ceiling. A built-in thermostat further improves efficiency. It will automatically increase fan speed as room temperature rises, and turn off the fan when the room has cooled to the desired temperature. The 16-channel remote control has a 20-foot operating range and allows for manual or timed operation. This, of course, is another energy-saving feature since the fan will be less likely to be left running when it’s not needed. All Hampton Bay fans are available through The Home Depot only. Getting replacement parts may be a problem. The private-label manufacturer, King of Fans, Inc. (www.kingoffans.com), however, does offer technical and product support.
