Running a ceiling fan allows you to raise the thermostat 4°F in summer and still feel cool. In winter, reversing blade direction pushes warm air downward, trimming heating costs up to 10 %. At an average electric rate of 22¢/kWh, most Boston homeowners recoup installation costs within two seasons—faster when they choose an Energy Star model highlighted in CountBricks takeoffs.
• Contemporary flush-mount fans for low Beacon Hill ceilings
• Rustic wood-grain blades for Dorchester lofts

When the Martins renovated their 1910 Jamaica Plain triple-decker, they needed six ceiling fans integrated with existing knob-and-tube circuits. CountBricks used AI blueprint takeoffs to map joist spacing, identified safe tie-in points, and completed the project under budget. The Martins now report a 12 % utility bill drop and rave about silent operation during nursery naps. View photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Size matters: Rooms up to 225 sq ft need at least a 50-inch fan.
• Mount height: Blades should hang 8–9 ft above the floor.
• Reverse switch: Downward (counter-clockwise) in summer, upward in winter.
• Clean quarterly: Dust buildup can unbalance blades and reduce airflow.
• LED bulbs: Swap incandescent to cut lighting costs by 80 %.
