The first thing to do is to determine the installation location for the fan (typically, the center of a room or hall). However, in the case of a large area, it’s best to install two or more ceiling fans for proper air circulation. It is not recommended to install the fan above your bed to avoid direct airflow.
Select a suitable fan size:
30″ – for small rooms, kitchens, bathrooms (8.2’ x 26.2’);
42″ – for medium and small rooms (11.8’ x 11.8’);
52″ – for large rooms (dining rooms, wide living rooms, or bedrooms 18’ x 19.7’).
For safe and convenient accommodation, consider the height of the ceiling. Ceiling fans attached to a long rod will not fit for a low 7.9’ ceiling – not only that will disturb those present in the room, but also will not be able to fully distribute the air (the recommended blade height above the floor is 7’’-9’, and for the most balanced air circulation – 8’-9’. High-installed fans are best controlled with remote control.
Choose the right airflow (CFM). The more, the better. The CFM shows you the amount of air that the ceiling fan can move in a minute when running at the highest speed. No matter how energy-efficient your fan is or what speed (RPM) it has if it’s not cooling the air temperature in the room, it sucks. The CFM is the total of all the other ceiling fan elements.
Check if the existing electrical network suits fan power. This is especially true for functional fans with lights and other features. If it’s not enough, a qualified electrician can install a separate cable to switch on the fan from the panel (electric board).
Check the noise characteristics. This is especially important when buying large and powerful fans for your home that will run continuously. We recommend choosing fans with the highest 40-46 dB noise level.
Speed level and air direction. These are very practical features that will greatly enhance your device’s capabilities. By controlling the speed of your device, you will determine the intensity of the airflow. Thus, on slightly cooler days, you will not have to use the fan at full power. Adjusting the rotating direction will allow you to use the fan during winters when you need warm air.
