Never had a ceiling fan, but reducing solar gain is top priority. Shade, solar-reflective window film, external blinds etc.
Or just fuck the dolphins and dash in a mini split AC; they’re cheap and very effective.

This seems mad though and against my save the polar bear principles.
We're generally pretty good with using black out blinds to control solar gain and have double glazing on the top floor (4th floor standard victorian terrace with insulated loft).
Still gets to 30s pretty quickly on warm days and stays warm all night but a standing fan makes sleeping okay.

Is there an alternative thread for 'keeping you house cool'?
Looking at ceiling fans and wondered if anyone had any experience with what to buy/look for?
