We see a lot of new houses in San Diego city with ceiling fans pre installed. In almost all of these San Diego homes, the fan is installed in the center of the room, replacing a central light fixture in the ceiling. This spot provides a smooth air flow throughout most of the room, and since a fan draws about the same amount of power as a ceiling light fixture, the electrical circuit shouldn’t be overloaded.
