Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are always marketed to the public to "buy for the way it looks."

Of course that is important, but consumers must be careful to choose their fans for performance and flexibility. Sizes range from 24" to 72" in diameter and motor sizes from 135mm to 212mm. You need a showroom professional to help you size your fan for the space, and then pick the style and fashion that is available for your application.

Varying speed controls, up-lighting and downlighting, reversible and remote control, and vaulted ceiling mounts are other options to consider.

Warranties vary so read the fine print. Limited lifetime warranty is generally the claim, warranting motor only beyond 1 year. Check your fan warranty before purchasing.
