Ways to keep your cool...

This should have come before the last post...!

With the warm and muggy weather of late, I would like to share that I am a huge fan of putting in ceiling fans for urban properties in particular: much prettier than air conditioning units, less noisy, no maintenance and work a treat when it's warm and muggy. I've put several in my own home (sitting room to give a colonial feel with wooden floors; in the bedroom for a good night's sleep) Also, I have them in the properties I rent out and tenants are very happy to have them in my experience; in fact I got some wine from one as a thank you. They don't cost the earth either - all you need is a good product (don't skimp here as cheap ones look just that...) and a decent sparkie. Job done, big improvement and a good investment I think. http://renovationrants.blogspot.com

£1000 seems pretty cheap, not that the weather does much to warrant it at the moment. Any idea on payback period for this type of investment in your residential investment property?
