The ceiling fans have three modes of control for switching on and off – the oldest way of pulling a chord from the motor, the second consists of controls on the wall in the image of the switches and the third and the most recent is the control of fans by means of a remote-control. Today all three modes of controlling are available in the ceiling fans with one being more expensive than the other to have in your fan. The fans with remote-control are bound to cost you more money as compared to the fans with normal chord or the switch control. Keep in mind all the pros and cons, before you buy ceiling fans that are suitable for your home or office.
