Ceiling Fans
You've had 3 since 1984 (33 years old), or in 33 years you've had 3 different ones? Either way, it makes for a funny line: "Hey kid, my ceiling fans are older than you."
Will do. I'm mixing and matching different ideas with it right now. There are several personal touches that work around the basic design which I'm juggling. I already know that delivery/customs fees won't be a problem. As far as the energy savings, if ordered now and received in September, I won't start seeing any savings until the October or possibly November bill. November is always a tricky month because that's when I set up my Christmas lights, but also use less AC.
Of what year, it will take a lifetime before "the savings" makes a dent in the purchase price of $1,000. for 1 ceiling fan.
When I opened my 3rd private school in Phoenix, AZ., I used over 30 KDK ceiling fans, best fan for the price.
Stop being such a tightwad. Live a little. All you have to do is compare the first month's bill with the fan, to the same corresponding month's bill one year prior using the AC: November '17 to November '16, and compare the kilowatt usage. You will see how much it dropped. That is a raw sample, but gives you a baseline to work with. Of course, in the beginning, it's a guestimate, as things change over time, but really not. My price for kilowatt used has remained the same for a very long time. Hey, I may even put up more Christmas lights this year! Back on track here. If you buy a new AC and install it January 1st, and your electric bill doubles when received the next month, would you not be led to believe that all you have to do is double the amounts of the prior year's bills to get a guestimate of what your bill may be? If you go out to dinner once per month, and your average bill is 10,000 pesos, would it not be safe to say that if you wanted to go out to dinner 4x per month, you would need roughly 40,000 pesos?
Ceiling fans in a Phoenix, AZ classroom? 110 degrees in the shade? Even the Diamondbacks have AC in Chase Field (formerly The BOB). Did you let the kids drink water, or did they have to bring their own canteens?
3 ac units per school + fans........duh
Plus 1 dedicated ac per commercial kitchen...
spg, start using your brains....

Relax. Some of you older people have no sense of humor. It's Friday. Let your hair down, play some music, and breathe.
STI also. I don't know how many people I have picked up at those two airports and pointed out to my passenger the BIG ASS Fans!

I inherited KDK fans when I bought my place.Blades looked pretty nasty but took then down.de-rusted then and gave a few coats of Rustoleum white spray.
So far it's been three years and still OK.
The KDK motor units are well made and I installed a remote control from Amazon which is pretty good.
Agree KDK if you can afford them but if you live near the sea count on repainting them after a while.

I was visiting with a Dominican family and suggested we turn on the fan overhead. It is bad (malo) I was told. I looked at it and shur nuff it was malo. of the three blades one was mounted correctly and the othr two were reversed. I pulled out my Leatherman tool and got it going for them within minutes.

Seriously, good job when one of those fans get out of balance in my unit I call for a repairman, just can't seem to get them balanced properly
