Do you have ceiling fans in your home? Do you use them on a regular basis?

Not in my moms place where we are at. We did have them in our house in California and we used them all the time, even during the winter we used them.

 We have ceiling fans in every room except the bathroom and hallways.

When it's me - home alone- they are all on low.  If anyone else is home - they turn them off and turn up the a/c. I like feeling the "breeze" the fans make over the coldness of the a/c.

No, we don't have fans. My dh loves them but I feel like they make the room warmer and I don't like a breeze blowing on me.

We only have one in the kitchen. Not used regularly, but I like having it. My boyfriend is planning on remodeling our master bedroom and is thinking of putting one in. It'll be nice to have in there for sure!

We have one in the kitchen, our bedroom & the boys bedrooms,
We sometimes use the one in the kitchen but that's about it  ..
The boys used theirs more than we do :)

Two. One in the office and one in the living room. We use them year round to keep the air moving although during the winter there is a switch that makes it turn the opposite direction so the air pulls up instead of down. It makes a huge difference. 

The office is off the master-bedroom so if the room gets too hot and stuff we can turn the office fan on winter setting and it'll pull all the heat out of the bedroom. It's very handy and cuts down on how much we need a/c.

We have them in the living room and bedrooms. I would never put one in my dining room or kitchen because the blow dust off of the and that's just gross.

We have them but don't use them. I want to replace them all with regular lights.

We have them in all the bedrooms and the kitchen. We use them only when it is really hot (we are on the coast and it is pretty rare that it gets hot, so we have no a/c) or just to help get fresh air when the windows are open. When dh works the grave shift, he has the fan on while he sleeps in the day.

In every room but the bathroom and they are on allllll the time all year long. I love ceiling fans...it's really hard to go visit my mom, she bought a tower fan for us so I'd have an easier time sleeping, an my grandmother likes the temp at like 80 and I'm a 72 degree kind of chick....so a fan is def needed.
