Westinghouse Ceiling Fans
Westinghouse is one of the original American electric companies, and
made some of the nation's first ceiling fans. Many of these fans can be
found today as antiques. Several companies have also made replicas of
original Westinghouse models, such as Casablanca.
As ceiling fans fell out of popularity in the 50s, and as the company
changed hands many times, Westinghouse stopped producing ceiling fans
and has not for many years..
Recently fans are once again being sold under the Westinghouse name.
Angelo Brothers Company licensed the name and trademark from
Westinghouse Electric Corporation and formed the Westinghouse Lighting
Corporation. Angelo Brothers made light bulbs and fixtures for many
years, and previously obtained ceiling fan manufacturer Encon
International. And so the Encon line of ceiling fans became the
Westinghouse Lighting line of ceiling fans. It may also be of note that
Encon previously owned the Monte Carlo line of ceiling fans, which was sold to Sea Gull Lighting.
The current Westinghouse line of ceiling fans are inexpensive and
designed to sell at hardware and discount stores in competition with
home center brands such as Hampton Bay and Harbor Breeze.
They do however offer many competitive designs and features, the
strongest being the InstaLoc assembly system. The InstaLoc fans are
preassembled at the factory with 75% fewer parts, and install with
various pieces that snap together rather than screw in. Westinghouse
claims they require 75% less time to install than other fans. Not all
Westinghouse models are InstaLoc, however, they offer a selection of
over 20 various styles and finishes. Westinghouse also offers many fan
models that are not InstaLoc from the most basic builder models to
ornate and contemporary designs.
Westinghouse fans provide excellent options if you are looking for something inexpensive that will install easily.
