Ceiling Fans

"You are a potential genius; there is no problem you cannot solve, and no answer you cannot find somewhere." Brian Tracy

One of the best things I ever did for my house was to install ceiling fans in each of the four bedrooms as well as the family room. With these fans we are usually able to avoid running the air conditioning, saving us a boat load of money; you can save approximately 14% of your cooling costs with a ceiling fan. With solar powered attic fans, does anyone know of a company which sells solar powered ceiling fans?

I realize that these fans would have to have batteries to run at night when the sun goes down, but I would think that something like that would be easy enough to come up with. But even if these fans only ran during the day time they would be great for people that stay at home or for small businesses.

The next thing would be to have these fans with their motors outside of the living area. No matter your ceiling fans run on the motor creates heat when it is running so you should not run them when you are not in the room. So then why doesn’t a company come up with ceiling fans that have their motors outside of the living area? By placing the motor in the attic I would not be adding heat to the house keeping it cooler as well as not adding an additional heat source when the air conditioning is on. All of which would mean a reduction of our carbon footprint, reliance on foreign oil and more money in my pocket.
