Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

Ours are reversible, but they are so high we've never actually reversed them. We found we don't really need to because since they are quite powerful, the air all gets circulated around anyway... ::cool::

Hm, Interesting, I didn't realise you had to manually change them over! Hubby's tall, maybe he can do it

Well with our ceilings we need a double extension ladder! Not sure if you can get a remote that can switch them...might be worth asking!

Yeah, will check it out, thanks for the tip!

The ones we have in the rental the switch is on the fan :shock:

Ours is a manual switch as well (I think they all are) we had to get the ladder to change it over too but makes such a difference as it keeps the warm air down in winter.

We have a manual switch on our current fans and I'm surprised but it works really well to get the warmer air circulating in the room in winter

It's funny how old technology is becoming popular again.

Well who'd have thought that even fans could be sexy?!!! They are seriously gorgeous trixee! Not something that even crossed my mind i have to say. I think if you spent 12 months on H1 and then started planning your build it would an amazing thing to do! So many great ideas to choose from. I cant wait to see your home finished trixee. It will be incredible!
