We had four of these recessed lights installed in our master bedroom, so we did not need a ceiling fan with a lighting fixture. We were happy with it and were also were using the Kichler LED recessed lighting fixtures in our home. The actual fan installed in our sunroom is the Kichler 330174NI with light, in brushed nickel, with the silver side of the blades showing. Our builder and electrician installed the Kichler brand of lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. My wife is better at picking selections under these conditions, as it's a choice of which one looks best. It's easier when your builder hands you a small catalog and says to pick one, along with how much you want to spend. I probably spend way too much time on this part of the install. Installing the Ceiling Fan Choosing the Best Ceiling Fan

The best option for our slightly uncomfortable scenario is to install a ceiling fan, especially since our home was pre-wired for one. I'm sure there are many other options, most of which include higher costs. I suppose it's possible to have one zone on heat and another on the air conditioning, but I'm not even going to try that. You can continuously run the central HVAC unit fan, but it just evens the temperature differences if you do this for all zones. When the outside temperature does not require much heating or cooling inside the home, it stagnates. The frequent running gives you more control over your different zones. Forced air heating/cooling in our home operates best because they run more frequently in the extremes. Those ranges being very warm or very cold, depending on your geographical location in the world. Our short experience with zoned heating and cooling systems has taught us that they work best toward extreme temperature ranges. It also allowed me to test out the new Lutron Caseta fan switch. A new ceiling fan would be a great home improvement project. However, thanks to my wife's request, I agreed that it was time to add a ceiling fan to our master bedroom. So I didn't think it was necessary also to include ceiling fans. We also included multiple zones in our HVAC system, with one zone for the master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. We added construction options for a ceiling fan rough-in in several different rooms during our recent new home build.
