Tips To Help You Select A Suitable Ceiling Fan
With so many options available choosing a ceiling fan can be daunting. What factors should you consider before making a purchase?
Function -
Ceiling fans don't lower the room's temperature. They cool by creating a breeze in your space.

Tip - Best placement for fans are over beds, above family rooms & outdoor covered decks & patios
Get The Right Height -
Low ceilings 7ft - 8ft Use flush mount or ceiling huggers
Average ceilings 8ft - 9ft Using the supplied hang rod should do the trick
Tall ceilings 9ft & Up Extension rods are available from 12" to 72". They will help lower the fan to an optimal position within the space. Shop Here for rods sizes 12" 18" 24" 36" 48" 60" & 72"

Size Matters - By selecting the correct size ceiling fan for your space, allows for proper air flow & circulation. The room size chart below will help in your selections.
Room Size | Fan Size |
Up - 75 SF | 36" Fan or Smaller |
75 SF - 144 SF | 36" - 42" Fan |
144 SF - 225 SF | 44" - 50" Fan |

Even Larger | 60" - 80" Fan are available |
Your In Control - Consider if you want to operate the fan from the wall switch, pull chain or remote control. These choices will factor into the cost. All of our fans in our home are operated with a remote (not that I'm lazy LOL), it's just more convenient.

Tip - Just make sure to have separate circuits for the fan & light so they can operate independently based on the type of fan you purchase.
