CEILING FANS
Increase Comfort Level
In the winter, Westinghouse ceiling fans can be switched
to the clockwise direction. As a result, the warm air that
collects near the ceiling is distributed evenly throughout the
room and eliminates cold spots and drafts. It dramatically
increases your comfort level and decreases heating costs.
Understand Your Ceiling Fan's
Performance Characteristics
•
Airflow
is measured in
CFM
s (Cubic Feet per Minute
or volume of air the ceiling fan can move).
•
Watts Used
is the amount of electricity
used by the ceiling fan.
•
Efficiency
is measured in
CFM/Watts
(amount of air
a ceiling fan moves in CFM divided by the amount of
electricity it uses in Watts).
In the summer, Westinghouse ceiling fans keep your home
pleasantly cool. The ceiling fan runs counterclockwise, and
sets the air in motion. The airflow creates a wind chill effect
on your skin. Summer mode allows you to lower energy
costs while keeping you cool.
A Pleasant, Gentle Breeze
ENERGY GUIDE LABELS
As of Fall 2018, new FTC Energy Guide Labels
are included on all ceiling fan packaging.
These new yellow labels offer helpful information regarding
averages for airflow, wattage and energy costs.
Performance / Energy Summer /Winter Mode
Most of our ceiling fans include a reversible switch allowing
you to keep your room cool in the summer or re-circulate
warm air from the ceiling in the winter.

AIRFLOW PERFORMANCE LABEL
Westinghouse will continue to show the
Airflow Performance Label with the actual performance
specifications at different speeds on applicable fans.
See pages 196-197 for ceiling fans that have a reverse airflow function.
