Ceiling fan subculture

The aging ceiling fan I have in my bedroom has begun to sound like some kind of UFO hovering over my bed, it wobbles and is making that "ruuah ruuah ruaah" noise

so I went into Youtube to look it up...and yeah. So there are lots and lots and lots of videos on "vintage ceiling fans".

Far out

Quite a lot of er, fans of fans?

1988 is considered "old"?

We used to have a ceiling fan in our kitchen. Got rid of it when we redid the room and put in new, more modern lighting (and it would've soon become useless once we installed central A/C, anyway).

Now, that was several years ago (2002), but the fan was probably original to the house, which would have made it 39 years old upon disposal.

And it still worked. Didn't make any funny noises, either.

Simple devices like that can last a long time. The less complicated it is, the fewer ways there are it can break.

I have ceiling fan in all of the rooms in my home(mainly due to the climate), including the kitchen. One of the fans has been with us since 1985, and yeah it does make a weird noise sometimes, but overall it works fine.

Even with central Air ,ceiling fans helps air circulation and  makes the AC work less, and use less power.

My condo has central air and, when I bought it, three ceiling fans were already installed.  They are especially good for the spring, when I don't want to turn on the central air yet because the nights are still chilly but the days are warm enough to appreciate some air circulation.

Okay, but useful or not, it would have committed the even worse sin of not matching the new cabinets and tiles. It had to go.

Well there you go.

I believe the ceiling fan in my room is from 1988...or older.

That thing hasn't been turned off for a while, and it's still whisper quiet.

Yeah, definitely wish I had a fan in here... In my old house we only had one fan, in our living room, that I feel was more for looks than use, as we rarely used it until I was 16 when all of a sudden dad got really eco-friendly, in a not really effective way, lol. In mom's new apartment though, my room could use one sometimes, especially on those 8-hour Mass Effect gaming sessions on my pc.

[fukuda 351]

Not enough ceiling space to put one in my room, lol

I wonder if whoever posted that video ever thought he or she would've sparked this thread on a sim city website!
