Over recent months, the debate over global warming has been heating up, rather belatedly many would say. Global temperatures and sea levels are set to rise over the next century, although by how much nobody can be sure. Even a 2 degree centigrade rise in temperature, in the mid-range of predictions, could have a massive impact on people's lives. AC backward centrifugal fans factory

For those countries, or areas in a country, that have hitherto been far from sub-tropical, the change during the summer months could be dramatic. One study recently said London would become unbearable later in the century, being ill prepared for its new wave of hot and hotter summers. As a Londoner, now living on a tropical island, that is something I can easily relate to. London, of course, is not alone. Similar changes would be felt in other parts of Northern Europe and North America.

Not everyone is too worried about these climatic predictions, though. After all, air conditioning units and ceiling fans will be needed in large areas where there was no need before. The manufacturers markets will grow naturally, without any need for extra marketing to stimulate demand. The sun will do that job for them.

For millions of people, even last summer may have been a bit too much for them to bear, and they too could also be considering how to keep cool in the future. Living semi permanently in air conditioning is not to everyone's taste. Personally, I find it an unhealthy way to live. Despite living on an island where the temperature rarely goes below 23 degrees centigrade at night, and with high humidity, I soon dispensed with air conditioning, preferring to use fans, which tend not to chill you so much.

Moving from an air conditioned room to the intense heat outside certainly tends to get the nose streaming. Every time I get on an airplane and stay in a hotel, I return home not feeling quite the same as when I left. However, that is not so with fans, and I suspect in many places where cooling becomes a necessity, there will be many who prefer fans.

There are bound to be some people who would not know where to start, and what to expect, when searching for a ceiling fan. It is not something they have ever had to consider before. Ceiling fans can be very effective, and have come a long way since the early days of tropical fans. Noisy fans that rock with every motion from the blades are a thing of the past, if properly installed anyway.

Over recent decades the range of ceiling fan designs available has grown enormously. Tropical designs are still popular, only with the more efficient and quieter motors that have evolved over recent years, and the more effective blade designs for better cooling effect.

For the nostalgic, or admirers of older styles, you can get modern ceiling fans based on Victorian designs. If you have an ultra modern home interior, sleek contemporary styles have found their way in fan design. So, whatever your home decor, you should find a ceiling fan that suits your tastes, and keeps you cool in those summers to come. And if it gets that hot, you may even want an outdoor ceiling fan for the patio or terrace. It is also worth bearing in mind that many ceiling fans come with lighting options, so a good choice may remove your need for a new ceiling light.
