1. How much should I spend on a ceiling fan?

Fans with the same style and features, blade size and air movement specs can cost anywhere from $80 to $300

2. Why are some ceiling fans more expensive?

Even at low speeds, a high-use fan can create a significant quantity of airflow and is one of the more durable motors. This is the most costly model type because it uses more expensive components, but once you take into account how much money you’ll save each year, the upfront cost becomes easier to accept.

3. What factors should be considered when choosing ceiling fan?

When choosing a ceiling fan for your home, you’ll want to take into account the size of the room, the height of the ceilings, and the climate. You’ll also want to consider your personal preferences in terms of style and function.

4. What are some of the best ceiling fan brands?

There are a number of different ceiling fan brands on the market. Some of the most popular brands include Hunter, and Westinghouse and our 1stshine.

5. What is covered under the fan warranty?

This information is found in the owner ’s instruction manual. General, we provide a guarantee of 10 years on the fan engine.

6. How to Pick out a Ceiling Fan?

If you’re thinking about adding a ceiling fan to your space, you’ll want to consider the right style and size for the room. Additional things to consider include light fixtures and remote controls.

7. What should I look for in a ceiling fan?

The two most important, or at least practical, factors when looking into a ceiling fan are the size and the placement. It is customary to have no more than one ceiling fan in a standard room, while offices or more industrial spaces may use several. Most ceiling fans are good for use on ceilings more than 8 feet high, although some may require other heights depending on the size. The width of the blades should also correspond to the width of the room and remain proportional.

Of course, it is also important to find a design and color scheme that you like and which pairs well with your space! Ceiling fans can range from contemporary modern styles, to traditional, to industrial, and more. Each style also includes a broad range of colors, as well as more specific designs. Some have more, or fewer, blades, and others also include light kits. Some of the light kits are add-on pieces for a slight chandelier-like design, which other fans have integrated lights.

8. How can I tell if my fan needs to be replaced?

This is another common question and one many homeowners ask when they begin to notice regular wear and tear. The most common signs of a worn-out fan are wobbling, squeaking noises, damaged or missing blades, and a light fixture that's no longer lighting up.

Because fans are often used daily, they take quite a bit of wear before they require replacing, so don't be alarmed if your fan looks worn. However, it's best to have an electrician come and check everything to ensure it's safe, particularly if you've noticed flickering lights or other issues.

9. How Can I Select the Right Ceiling Fan?

Choose the right blade size

Want a cooling effect that doesn’t ruffle papers or other items in your home? Opt for larger blade sizes. They offer comparable cooling at a lower velocity than smaller blades. Don’t worry about the number of blades. This will not affect performance.

Properly size and locate fans

Fans should be installed 7-9 feet above floors, 10-12 inches below ceilings and at least 18-24 inches from walls. Select 52-inch fans for rooms up to 400 square feet, 44-inch fans to cover up to 225 square feet, and 42-inch fans for up to 144 square feet. Rooms longer than 18 feet need multiple fans if you intend to cool the whole room.

Find the right features

Selecting easy-to-use models will encourage frequent fan use and reduce your need to use your air conditioning. You should carefully consider features and usage needs such as light intensity, fan speeds, noise level during operation, pull chains, and remote controls.

Remember, you get what you pay for

Splurging a little on a ceiling fan will earn you a model with quieter, smoother operation, more fan speeds, fewer issues, and longer warranties than bargain alternatives.

Ensure safe installation

Professional installation as recommended by the manufacturer is essential to fan lifespan, warranty, and the safety of you and your family. Fans can weigh as much as 50 pounds, so installation isn’t always a piece of cake. Safe installation should include an appropriate UL-listed electrical box made specifically for use with ceiling fans, secure mounting to a ceiling joist (or the use of a mounting bracket), and proper alignment and balancing.
