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.

Which Emerson Ceiling Fans are EPACT Complient?

The Odyssey fan will now include a wall control that allows you to dim the light, change the fan speeds and change the direction of the fan from the control.  The Odyssey ceiling fan will also be offered with only candelabra based bulb sockets or E17 Intermediate bases.  These sockets are more efficient than the regular medium base sockets. 

The Raphael ceiling fan will now include the same wall control that allows you to dim the lights up and down, change the three fan speeds and change the direction of the fan from the control.  The Raphael fan will also be offered with only candelabra based bulb sockets or E17 Intermediate bases.  These sockets are more efficient than the regular medium base sockets. 

The Raphael Tiffany ceiling fan will now include the same wall control that allows you to dim the lights up and down, change the three fan speeds and change the direction of the fan from the control.  The Raphael Tiffany fan will also be offered with only candelabra based bulb sockets or E17 Intermediate bases.  These sockets are more efficient than the regular medium base sockets. 

Emerson Fan Company Offers Designer Services

Emerson Designers Create a Little Ambiance

Del Mar Designs was the first in Daytona Beach, Florida to receive this beatiful gift from Emerson.  Emerson requested some pictures of the showroom and then said "Don't worry we will take care of it." Emersons' designer team was lead by the well know designer Denis Caldora.  Denis is continually making his impression all over the lighting and ceiling fan industry by helping showrooms display products with passion and enthusiasm.

Before the Designer Experience

Before Del Mar Designs was introduced to the Denis Caldora experience their Emerson and Tommy Bahama section was "just a little better than plain" says Colby Harris.  The space was colorful yet it lacked the appropriate match for the Tommy Bahama fan style.  It did not take long to see the difference.      

After the Emerson Designer Touch

Denis Caldora's team came into Del Mar Designs, greeted the DMD team, took some measurements and got right down to business.  With some assistance Denis's main man Adrian and his team began taking down ceiling fans that were going to be in the way safely putting them out of reach from passing by customers.  They brought there own premeasured fabrics based on some inside information and began dressing the walls.  Then they assembled a few of Emerson Fan Company's 2007 ceiling fans for installation.  After about a total of ten hours the team was shaking hands and wishing us a fair well goodbye. 

Del Mar Designs would gladly invite the Emerson and Tommy Bahama ceiling fan design team back to provide any of the design service.  Over all it was a great experience.

What are the New Emerson Fans for 2007?

EPACT is the Energy Policy Act of 2005 this policy is a set of laws that are governing energy efficiency in ceiling fans and ceiling fan lights.  Starting in 2007 all fan manufactures must produce ceiling fans that are reversible and have separate controls for fan speeds and lighting.  These fan lights no longer can use medium base bulbs they now have to use E17 intermediate based bulbs.
