Couple of years ago in a moment of madness I decided to put ceiling fans in all of my rooms (it was after a particularly hot summers day had ney on boiled me alive.) So away I went, living room, computer room, bedrooms, kitchen ... installing ceiling fans (much easier in a bungalow) and wiring them all in. Even bought a couple of duds and repaired them for use (hint: most ceiling fans have two faults ... the switches, speed and light, and the capacitor. These are easily bought a replaced.)
I gotta tell ya, today (it's bloody hot) am I ever glad to have them.
