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.
