A ceiling fan is a fan hanging from the ceiling of a room. It at times has a light included into it to substitute any displaced light or to offer additional light. These procedures are used in two ways like to create a breeze for a noticeable cooling effect or to force humid air near the ceiling down to the occupied part of the room. Ceiling fans can decrease heating costs by reducing the load on heating equipment and they can reduce cooling costs by making warmer air comfortable. Standard ceiling fan controls generally include one for speed and one for directional control of the fan blades. These vary depending on the make, model and age of the fan that programmed and remote-controlled ceiling fans are becoming very trendy as the technology becomes regularly available.  Ceiling fans are usually used as a cooling device in warm months by pushing air down from above, by creating a wind chill effect. In winter months, a ceiling fan can act as a heat transferred by reversing the direction of the blades.
Meaning of household ceiling fan:
Household ceiling fans normally have four or five wooden or composite blades. They range in style from simple to very elaborate. Standard sizes of household fans are generally 36, 42, and 52 inches in diameter. Specialty fans can still reach beyond this. A well-designed 52-inch ceiling fan with a blade pitch from 12 to 15 degrees will usually operate at a speed between 180 and 220 RPM on high. An exceptionally made household ceiling fan like the pre-2003 Hunter Original will circulate over 10,000 cubic feet of air per minute. 
Features:
Usually, these fans have a switch covering suspended directly below the center of the motor. This housing usually holds a three-speed pull chain, a switch to reverse the fan, and a middle socket to which a light kit may be closed. Though, many older fans do not have a reverse switch or it is located elsewhere on the fan and some fans feature different items as part of the switch housing like an on-off pull chain that operates separately of the speed control. This control allows for a nonstop range of speeds known as a variable speed control. A light kit included with the switch housing itself and a sensor for a remote control.
