We have them in several rooms. Just the basic 5 blade ones from Home Depot. The previous owner had one in the garage which baffles me. You would not regret having a ceiling fan to circulate the air.

Just put two in each bedroom, love them, wondering what took me so long

@cbrite - We too have them in every room - almost. They are in our bedrooms, family room, and sunroom. We had them installed when we moved in because we were used to having them. Today it was 97 here. We have the windows open and the fans on and we're very comfortable. As others here have said, we have the ones that reverse in the winter. Our family room is two stories high. With the gas stove on and the fan going blowing the warm air down, we can warm the entire area. We have ours on almost all of the time. They are great - and they look so pretty. When I taught in Japan, I visited Hong Kong. We ate at a restaurant in the hills that had ceiling fans on the front porch eating area. I felt like I was living in the 1800's!  I think you will love having one - or more!

I have a ceiling fan in each bedroom, and one in the living room and dining room.  The house already had them when I bought it.  They do a great job of keeping the air circulating.  I live in the Southwest which is very hot this time of year and wouldn't be without them.  I keep my bedroom fan on low all night and it keeps the room comfortable in between the A/C kicking on.

We have 5 ceiling fans. One in each bedroom , one in the living room and one out on the lanai. The fan in our bedroom runs continuosly, the one in the living room most of the time. Rarely use the one outside on the lanai, and when we have company I suppose they use the one in the guest room. 

They are very effective to help keep the house cool in the summer and they help pull down the warm air from the ceilings in the winter. Definitely a good investment. In the bedrooms we simply have white ones with a globe light on the bottom, on the lanai is one made for outside with a light that resembles a ship's lantern and the one in our living room has a night light that shines up onto the ceiling. We use that nice soft light almost every night.

We have a few but I find keeping the tops of the blades clean to be a pain.  If the top gets dusty and the fan is turned on my allergies go through the roof.

I also find that fans with lights create a flicker shadow that gives me a headache.

My 2 rules

Do not turn on the fans unless clean

Ceiling fan lights must be off if the fan is on

We absolutely love ours and save money on electric bills as well as circulating air year round. Power company explained it would keep us 4 degrees cooler in Summer (90-110 here in Central Cali!) and 3 or 4 degrees warmer in Winter.

Besides making 78 degree setting fell like 74 in hot months, the 66 degree Winter setting feels like a balmy 69...63 with bedtime set back. Our AC and heating unit are less stressed and the fans double as light sources and help our 3 fur dog kiddos feel much more comfy as well.

I have them in all rooms except bathrooms. The one in the living room & master bedroom both have remotes so I can control them. I turn it up/down quiet a bit while sleeping.

They are a "must" in Southern Arizona.    I only use mine in the summer months, tho.

Yes, they work.  We had a 3 bedroom home in California and installed a ceiling fan in each.  I now live in GA and every bedroom (5) has a ceiling fan as does the family room and basement.
