Burn the heretic!

But seriously in all the years I've had ceiling fans I've never noticed a difference. Ceiling fans are nothing more than air mixers. They do not blow a well-defined column of warm air down from the ceiling that keeps us on the floor warmer, nor do they pull cool air up from the floor to make us feel cooler. Or maybe it's the other way around I can't remember. But either way the whole ceiling fan thing sounds like a marketing ploy by ceiling fan manufacturers.

Besides they blow things off of tables/desks/countertops and in a kitchen with a gas stove they mess with the burners. If I had the money I'd get rid of all of mine.
