History of the Outdoor Ceiling Fan

The first ceiling fans appeared in the 1860s and 1870s, in the United States, powered by a stream of running water to drive a system of belts which would turn the blades of the fan. That's crazy isnt it!? These systems became popular in stores, restaurants, and offices. Some of these older systems are still around today and can be seen in parts of the south in the U.S.

By World War I, most ceiling fans were being manufactured with 4 blades instead of the original 2. This change allowed them to circulate more air, thereby making the buyers of these expensive units, at time, cooler and happier.

By the 1920s, ceiling fans had become commonplace, and had started to take hold internationally. In the 1960s, some Oriental manufacturers started exporting their ceiling fans. They found great success during the energy crisis of the late 1970s, since ceiling fans consume far less energy, and are far cheaper, than air conditioners.

During the rest of the 1970s, and through to the late 1980s, ceiling fans remained popular. Due to the ever-reducing cost of amenities such as air conditioning, ceiling fan sales once again started to decline, beginning in the early to mid 1990s. Once standard features, such as solid wood blades, built in variable speed dials, high quality stator - rotor motors, and die cast steel construction, have been mainly replaced by cheap standardized parts.
