Direct Current Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are generally far more energy efficient than other methods of artificial cooling such as ducted/split air-conditioning (use as little as 1% of the electricity).

Ceiling fans, which operate on direct current (DC) are up to 90% more energy efficient than those that operate on alternating current (AC). In addition, they tend to be cheaper to install, as they do not require a dedicated wall controller. They are also reversible, which means they can be used to help keep the home warm in winter, by pushing rising hot air back down to floor. Finally, the motor is a lot quieter and has more speed options than AC alternatives.

Greenhse Technologies

Greenhse Technologies is offering residents living within Switch Your Thinking Councils a 5% discount off the RRP of its range of DC ceiling fans. To claim your discount simply mention the Switch Your Thinking program when requesting a quote either over the phone on (08) 9297 2969 or via the webform.
