Emerson Ceiling Fans to meet EPACT Regulations

Emerson Ceiling Fan Company has been manufacturing and marketing ceiling fans since 1895.  Emerson is part of a $ 20 billion corporation leading in electric motors, engineering and technology.  Emerson Fan Company has changed of the past decade from creating the first motor to run off of alternating current, to inventing the first ceiling fan capacitor and now a leading decorative ceiling fan manufacture. 

A number of Emerson Ceiling fans are now meeting the Energy Policy Act (EPACT) laws and specifications.  In 2005 the United States congress created the Energy Policy Act a set of laws specifically relating to energy efficiency in ceiling fans and ceiling fan light kits.  Beginning January 1, 2007 all ceiling fans manufactured must be reversible and have seperate controls for changing fan speeds and light dimming.
