Ceiling fans circulate air and for efficiency, they need to sweep the boundary layer. Having it over a bed isolates it from the boundary layer but bedrooms have big beds and aesthetics invariably dictates position. To compensate for the removal of the boundary layer, have a fan with negative rake. The recent forum thread below may be worth reading in relation to optimum ceiling fan positioning in other areas. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=74078 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Ceiling fan position 14Feb 24, 2015 9:58 pm Bels Sorry about that and the misunderstanding, my general experience is that people only run the fans on low speed when they're in bed just to circulate some air over them. Haha all good, we definitely have it cranked All the time plus I have a pedestal fan blowing on me, lol. Where we are at now it roasts as it's a town house type duplex this and it gets hot upstairs and there's no AC SaveH2O Nic and Shell 1 Hi, Im interested in people's thoughts and I'm just wondering what people do with ceiling fans whether they stick them in the centre of the room where they look more normal but basically impractical or for something like a master bedroom would you put it towards the wall where your head and body ****** but it would probably look out of place because it's uncentred and same with family room would you stick it over the couch area for practical uses or centred?

To be honest I'm not overly concerned about efficiency, it obviously plays a part but basically I want a breeze blowing on me to keep me cool. The new place we are building will have ac so that will help but I don't want it on constantly so hope the fan will do its part. I'll be sure to check out the thread. Cheers Re: Ceiling fan position 15Feb 25, 2015 9:13 am Higher wing tip speeds = more noise. Having negative rake gives more throw and that will be more beneficial and quieter than having a fan operating with higher speed and positive rake. 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Ceiling fan position 16Jun 01, 2015 7:22 pm Hi, We have got two ceiling fans. One is in our master bedroom, which is right above the bed. (Luckily its in the center) And the other one in the living room which is again in the centre (Not above the couch). I prefer them in the centre mainly because it looks out of place otherwise. No matter where you install it, it's important to make sure that they are fitted properly. I love having ceiling fans as they keep the house cool and help save a lot of money on the energy bills. We installed it after a lot of research on both saftey and energy consumption. Im sharing the latest blog I read on these factors ( http://www.theshockdoctors.ca/blog/gene ... is-summer/ ) Re: Ceiling fan position 17Jun 02, 2015 4:15 pm I installed our bedroom fans in the centre, as that's where the light was. Our play/family/TV room had an AC ventin the centre and two lights, one of which was over the couch, so the fan stayed over the couch for ease of install. Any electricians here please help. 1) Will the Fan need separate switch to ON/OFF/Speed eventhough it comes with Remote 2) how about… 0 1817 Thank you @ashington Homes for your reply!
