Ceiling fans can come with a light kit, or a light can be added later. These days, ceiling fans come in every imaginable style, from antique finishes to ultra-modern, and even in the style of your favorite Formula One Racing Team. Before you get started, it's important to find out whether the junction box you intend to connect the ceiling fan to is UL-approved to carry the weight of the fan. If not, you may need to install a reinforced box, sometimes called a fan brace. It's important for the ceiling fan housing to be made of quality materials.
Cheap fans have thin plating that tends to rattle and deteriorate.
The length of the fan blades depends on the size of the room, height of the ceiling, and the desired amount of air movement. A room with less humidity and more airflow is the ultimate goal. You will also find your utility bill is lower. One major stumbling block is the dreaded installation process. Opening a box with 60 parts, including bags full of bolts and performing a high-wire act near the electrical box doesn't sound too appealing.
