ceiling fans
Rotating room coolers
Ceiling fans are electric fans mounted to ceilings, with rotating blades that circulate air downward.
They cool rooms in summer and can reverse direction to push warm air down in winter.
The old house had ceiling fans in every room.
Unlike air conditioning, they move air rather than cooling it directly.
