They are a stylish addition to your home and come in many styles and colours. With energy consumption less than a light globe they are a great alternative to air conditioning. Most homes lack ducted air cooling in bedrooms, fans are a cost effective solution to help keep the bedrooms in your home cool. Modern LED lights are now built in saving you the expense of having to change light globes. Remote control kits can now be adapted to most fans if required.

Hard wired Ceiling fans

Hard wired is great for living areas with the switch in an easy to access location for anyone to use. If you live in a home with a high amount of occupants or children remote controls can be easily lost. This is not an issue with hard wiring. Most homes easily accomodate more cabling being installed for the additional switch. The exception is some older double brick homes that are better suited to the below option.

Remote Controlled

Remote controls are ideal for bedrooms or in locations that are difficult to install cabling to. Remotes include many usefully features. Adjustable hour timers allow the fan to automatically turn off in the middle of the night once the house has cooled off. In addition the remote allows you to turn the lights and fan on and off from the comfort of your bed.

We recently assisted with a renovation for a nursery that required all new cabling and electrical equipment, all smart switches and PowerPoints were a special colour called Anthracite as part of the new Clipsal iconic range. The room featured the following technology:

• Remote control ceiling fan to help cool the room.
• Ducted heat transfer controlled automatically to ensure the rest of the house stays warm during winter.
• Bluetooth dimming of the lights so that you can dim the lights up or down without disrupting your child.
• Automatic integrated night light that turns on when it gets dark and increases in brightness when there is movement in the room.
• USB Powerpoints to allow easy connection of baby monitors and other accessories.

Check out the new Clipsal Iconic range here.

With your Clipsal smart home system you will be able to turn the outside lights on from your phone for those nights you forget, or even set up a seven day schedule so you don’t even have to remember.
