Ceiling fans
At DFI electrical we can install ceiling fans all over the Sunshine Coast region. These fans offer a cheaper and more energy-efficient cooling system than air-conditioning. For some homes all that is needed is to get air circulating around a room, creating a comfortable breeze to enjoy.
These fans can also enhance the look of your home as they come in many colours, styles, and even with lights. They can also come with wall and remote controls. Nowadays there are countless options for fans to make your room look more stylish and interesting.
We can hardwire them through your ceiling or any beams or suspended supports that are in a room. Larger units are available for commercial buildings and workplaces. In any case, we can determine the size and height of the fan you need by measuring the dimensions of your room or living space.
Another great place to put ceiling fans is on verandahs and outdoor spaces to increase air-flow speed on a warm summer’s evening.

- The efficiency of all fans differ depending on their blade number, blade size and angle, shape and material, as well as motor design and speed.
- Fans are good for your health. They circulate and bring in fresh air and remove stagnant air.
- The first electrical ceiling fan was invented way back in 1882, and was powered by a sewing machine engine.
