Ceiling Fan FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions: Ceiling Fans

Why should I buy a ceiling fan?

Ceiling fans can efficiently cool rooms in the summer and maintain a comfortable temperature in the winter, reducing energy costs.

What size of ceiling fan should I get?

It is important to select a fan that suits the size of your room, as a small fan may not circulate enough air and a large fan could overwhelm the room’s occupants. In general, a room of 50 square feet or less should have a 29" fan, under 75 square feet should have a 36” fan. 42” fans are appropriate for rooms up to 100 square feet and 50” or 52” fans will be most effective in rooms up to 400 square feet. If you have a large space, 400 square feet or larger, a 54” fan will be the best choice.

How high should I hang my ceiling fan?

Ceiling fan blades should be rotating about 8 feet above the floor. If you have a very tall ceiling, purchase a downrod to extend your fan to an appropriate height.

What is ceiling fan blade pitch?

The blade pitch is the angle of the blades compared to the horizon. It is the tilt of the blades that produces the air and angles it downward. The most powerful ceiling fans have a blade pitch of 12-14 degrees.

How can I use a ceiling fan in winter?

Since warm air rises, a ceiling fan can be used to push the warm air back down toward the floor. Many modern ceiling fans come with a reversible feature so they work in both winter and summer.

Can I install a ceiling fan on a sloped ceiling?

Many fans companies offer an optional adapter that will allow you to hang a fan on a sloped ceiling. These come in a variety of angles, so you will need to find out the angle of your ceiling before purchasing the adapter.
