Buchenblatt5 Nov 2023 15:23Hello everyone!
I have a question about ceiling fans. In the picture, you can see the ceiling of the room with the stove. It is located in the center of the apartment, with double doors on both sides leading to the adjacent rooms.
When the stove is running, the central room heats up to around 27°C (81°F). The adjacent outer rooms stay at about 18°C (64°F). Even after several hours, the temperature only improves by 1 to 2 degrees at most 😕
It is an old farmhouse with thick walls, and the beams are clearly visible on the ceiling. My idea is to install a ceiling fan there. They are said to be very effective in winter mode, where the air is blown upwards. At least that’s what the advertising claims. Does anyone here have practical experience with these fans? I don’t want to damage the beams and then only see my electricity bill go up without any real effect :p
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Markus

Hello Markus,
My parents have a historic house that was renovated in the 1970s. The living room is very large and has an open space above it. The roof is not insulated and has exposed beams. Heating is provided by electric underfloor heating and a tiled stove. In the past, it was difficult to warm up the living room; it was only tolerable on the gallery. Then they installed a ceiling fan. The effect is remarkable, and it is finally comfortably warm downstairs as well.
Also in the adjacent room.

Best regards, Markus

It does a good job of drawing in the cold air and distributing it better.
However, in our case, the living room still ends up feeling like an oven after a while...
Suddenly back to 28°C (82°F)....
In the other rooms, the temperature is about 20–22°C (68–72°F). (ground floor)
