Did you know…

A ceiling fan with 36- inch blades uses approximately 55 watts of energy. A fan with 48-inch blades uses approximately 75 watts of energy. A fan with 52-inch blades uses approximately 90 watts of energy.

The efficiency of any fan is reduced when you add dust on top of the blades. Dust collects quickly especially if the fan is running a lot.

Removing the dust will help with the efficiency  of the fan and will help with the reduction of added dust to a room.
