For Room size: 90 square feet or less use Blades 15”–42” For Room size: 90–100 square feet use Blades 44”–48”
For Room size: 100–150 square feet use Blades 50”–54” For Room size: Over 150 square feet use Blades 56” or larger
Illumination
Consider whether you would like the ceiling fan to have built-in lighting or the option to add a light kit. A fan with a light kit provides additional functionality by offering ambient lighting for your space.
Control Options
While every ceiling fan comes with a means of control, you often have the flexibility to add or change the control mechanism. Explore options such as remotes, wall controls, or even multiple controls, which allow you to conveniently adjust the lighting, fan speed, and blade direction.
Airflow
Several factors, including motor size, blade pitch, and blade materials, contribute to the airflow produced by a ceiling fan. To make comparing fans easier, standardized ratings for airflow and airflow efficiency have been established. The airflow rating, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), indicates the amount of air the fan moves. Higher airflow values indicate greater air movement. Additionally, airflow efficiency measures the amount of air moved per watt of electricity consumed.
Motor Type
While AC motor fans are the most common, it's worth considering a ceiling fan with a DC motor depending on your specific requirements. DC motors consume up to 70 percent less electricity compared to AC versions and operate whisper-quietly. Opt for a DC motor fan if you live in an area with high electricity costs or if you aim to minimize energy consumption.
