Looking to keep your home’s temperature comfortable all year while being energy efficient and cost-effective? Installing a ceiling fan alongside your air conditioner can help you do just that. Whether it’s summer or winter, ceiling fans are practical all year round.
When required, they can work independently from AC units, taking the edge off milder summer days, while requiring less energy expenditure to enhance comfort. Or, they can be used in tandem with an air conditioner, working to circulate air evenly throughout your space and stabilising temperatures faster.
These applications take pressure off your AC and, as a result, increase energy savings in the long run.
Ceiling fans can cool during the summer and disperse warm air in the winter.
Reduce long periods of AC by combining temperature control efforts with ceiling fans.
Free-standing fans can add clutter to a space and take up power outlet space. Ceiling fans are out of the way and won’t overload your power points.
Regardless of the time of year, ceiling fans do an excellent job of making your living or workspace a comfortable environment. Whether a ceiling fan helps cool or warm a room is all about the direction it spins.
In the summer, setting a fan to move counterclockwise creates a direct downdraft breeze and circulates cool air around the room. When an AC is expelling cold air into a space, adding a ceiling fan will create a breeze, allowing you to keep your AC unit on a lower level while remaining comfortable.
In winter, a fan rotating clockwise at a low speed gently pushes down the hottest air in the room that has collected at the ceiling. As an AC warms a room and the hot air rises, a ceiling fan will continuously suck up cool air in the room while pushing down and dispersing the warm air. This effect is particularly useful for properties with high ceilings.
Ceiling fans are cheap to run and effective all year round, no matter the season or temperature. When paired with an AC, the desired temperature control of a space is easier to achieve and allows you to maximise your comfort. When you reduce your air conditioning use and replace it with a ceiling fan, this can cut energy use by 76% percent.

Indoor and outdoor ceiling fans have different operations based on their environments and will have differing energy expenditure and cost effectiveness.
Indoor fans are designed for interior spaces that are climate-controlled. Lightweight materials like wood, plastic, and other materials that do not require weatherproofing. Most indoor fans use motors that are designed for optimising airflow in indoor spaces. Because of these factors, they tend to be cheaper to install and more energy efficient.
On the other hand, outdoor fans are built for open or semi-open areas, like covered patios, and are aimed at providing airflow, humidity management, and moisture reduction. These fan types require more durable materials with anti-corrosion finishes. Stronger woods, metals, and plastics are used for outdoor fans, and their motors usually require extra insulation and protective sealing. Damp-rated or weatherproof motors are necessary for maintaining performance and can require specialised power sources. While outdoor fan installation can be more expensive, with the right motor, it can have long-term savings.
There are a variety of new technologies that can be integrated with your home appliances, including in your ceiling fans. Smart controls like voice commands, remote operations from phones, and automated timers can optimise your living space and improve comfort. When choosing what ceiling fan to install in your space, consider what smart controls you may like to include.
A Fan combined with a light fitting provides a dual function, keeping your rooms well-lit and air circulated properly. Light-fan kits also streamline the installation process. You’ll be able to save on ceiling space for smaller rooms and avoid multiple interruptions to your power supply, while getting the installation jobs done in one go. There are also affordable package options available, allowing you to save money on paying for both items.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade or replace your current ceiling fan, install a new fan, or need repair services on your devices, Alliance Climate Control is available to tackle any job. Our fully licensed electricians ensure all safety regulations are followed, and we offer upfront pricing before we begin work on your property.
There are two key types of fan motors: AC and DC. AC motors are often more affordable in their initial installation and come in a variety of styles, sizes and control options. However, AC motors tend to consume more energy, make more noise, and only offer 3-4 speed settings.
Alternatively, DC motors have a higher upfront cost, while saving costs over time. Compared to AC motors, DC motors use up to 70% less power and are significantly quieter when operating. They also have 6 or more speed settings, giving you greater precision over your airflow.

Ceiling fans can affect your sinuses by drying out nasal passages or circulating irritants like dust, pollen, or allergens. To mitigate these effects, you can use a humidifier to counteract the dry air, avoid direct airflow, and most importantly, regularly clean your fan blades and living space.
The cost of installing a ceiling fan will depend on the type of fan being installed and whether an electrician can use an existing circuit or needs to implement a new one.
On average, installation will cost between $150 and $350 for labour per fan. A replacement job will be cheaper, and cost more between $100 and $250. Any new wiring or circuit routing will add to costs.
Alliance Climate Control will always provide you with a quote before we begin work, ensuring you’re satisfied with what changes are going to be made to your home. We also offer a lifetime workmanship warranty and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

The best ceiling fan for outdoor areas are fans made of durable materials and designed for a variety of weather conditions. Wet-rated or IP-rated designs made of ABS plastic or 316 stainless steel blades work best for these scenarios.
The type of fan you choose will depend on the outdoor environment it will be working in. Coastal spray, high humidity, and direct rain may require additional finishing or coating to help prevent corrosion or rust.
The average time it takes to install a ceiling fan is 30-90 minutes, but it may take longer depending on the complexity of the task, roof space, and whether new wiring is needed.
Alliance Climate Control prioritises quality and efficient work, aiming for 100% customer satisfaction guarantee with all our workmanship. We won’t stop until you’re happy with our work.
