An increased silence - say what???

Those that should know are saying Western Australia is up for a hot summer this year. Because of this, we are looking into putting ceiling fans in some of our rooms. With the price of them, plus installation, it might only be in our bedroom.
We’ve been looking at various designs and reading about the different features. We don’t usually leave the air-conditioning on overnight as the noise bothers Vince and keeps him awake. But we weren’t quite sure what to make of one ceiling fan model which promises ‘increased silence’. Surely something is silent or it isn’t.
The photo is of golden wattle blossom which is another of our native plants that are finding the season to their liking.

I don't know how you would increase silence. They are expensive now

I agree that "increased silence" makes no sense, usually those ceiling fans are not totally silent.
We also have the golden wattle blossom here and in the south of France there are so many that, in season, the scent is almost too strong. Those flowers are offered to women on March 8th for International Women's Day.

There are ceiling fans in every room of this house. We don't use them... they don't really help. We leave the air on all Summer long.
The flowers are pretty.

@JudyEv Even with the air on, I always keep a fan running at the foot of my bed. I want the cool air moving over me or I feel like I'm suffocating.

Beautiful flowers. You will love your ceiling fan. I have mine running right now even though there's s**w on the ground. We have them in the Florida room (where my husband watches TV and sleeps), here in the living room and the master bedroom. Have a great day.

@LindaOHio We will get a couple of quotes before deciding.

@JudyEv Shop around for an electrician. It was expensive to have a new fan installed in the living room.

That is a totally strange way to explain things.

An Increased Silence... good title for either a horror or mystery book.

I think a ceiling fan is an excellent idea. Althought I haven't done it, they can even be reversed in the winter to help the hot air flow better. I have them in all the bedrooms here as well as the living room. They are a godsend in the summer.

fans are good for body also. Prolonged use of AC is bad for the body

Very beautiful flowers. I also seldom use a/c in summer. Mine is not a ceiling fan. It's a tower fan.

Our ceiling fans aren’t very noisy. Y’all may be able to install them yourself. My husband put ours in when we first moved in.

I put celing fans with remotes in two rooms, they use much less electricty than air conditioners and if they break it is much easier to replace. The rooms I have with air conditoners, I don't turn it on unless I really have to!

I'm thinking we would save on power bills too with fans.
