I have learned a thing
May. 20th, 2024 07:32 amWe had an electrician here last week (okay, there were two of them, but that looked weird when I wrote it out -- it was one visit, with two people) and one of the things we asked about was putting a ceiling fan in our upstairs hallway.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, they 'didn't love' the idea. We have low(ish) ceilings, and it's not a huge space. 'Maybe if it was an enclosed ceiling fan,' they said, and I nodded as if I had any idea what they were talking about.
But APPARENTLY that is a thing! Enclosed ceiling fans -- small, low profile, designed to fit in small spaces with low ceilings. I NEVER KNEW. Anyway, I'm going to try to get them to confirm they'll install the one we're looking at, and then we'll see how well it works. (I mean, I feel pretty confident in saying it will move more air than not having a ceiling fan at all, which is the current situation. So hopefully improvement is guaranteed!)
