With its casual, white finish, the Mariner ceiling fan can turn a back porch into a breezeway with the flip of a switch. (You can figure out your ceiling’s slope with an online calculator. Most models come with a mounting kit, but if your ceiling is very steeply sloped, you may need an extra part. If your ceiling is angled, you’ll need a fan that works with a slope adapter, says Liu. For a ceiling taller than 10 feet, there’s a chance you’ll need a longer down rod, which you can buy separately. Most fans are sold with a short down rod (the extension pipe that connects the body of the fan to the mounting hardware on the ceiling). Hanging a fan too high compromises its ability to move the air in the room. The larger the space you want to cool, the higher a CFM you should look for 2,000 to 3,000 CFM will cool a small bedroom (200 square feet or less), while a large space (450 square feet or larger) requires a CFM of 5,000 to 9,000. You should also pay attention to how much air a fan circulates, which is measured in cubic feet per minute or CFM, says Liu. You may want to check out guidelines for measuring a room and picking a fan. A 60-inch fan can handle a 15-by-15-foot room-and there’s every size in between. A 42-incher will work effectively to circulate air in rooms that are up to 144 square feet, or 12 by 12. Standard ceiling fans start at 42 inches in diameter, referred to as the “sweep” of the fan. What to consider while you shop Is your fan the right size for the room? Sawyers appreciates its “modern, simple lines.” The Craftmade Phoebe fan, also 60 inches in diameter and damp-rated, has a similar but simpler design at a lower price. These are both indoor-outdoor fans. Monte Carlo’s 60-inch damp-rated Armstrong model meets those criteria, and the company claims it’s 60% more energy efficient than standard fan/light combos. (Pro tip: If there’s already a light mounted on the ceiling, make sure your fan is installed fairly far from it, Lindroth says, to avoid a strobe effect.) A fan with lighting typically requires more energy than one without, but you can counteract that by looking for Energy Star–certified fans that also use LED bulbs. With a light-fan combo, one ceiling fixture handles both cooling your space and illuminating it. We consulted a panel of decorating pros to find out which styles they consider ceiling worthy (as well as get a few shopping guidelines-scroll to the end for that info.) Here are 10 designer-approved models to take for a spin. Lindroth puts a ceiling fan in every room of homes she designs in tropical locales, not only to provide steady airflow but also for the relaxing sound of the turning blades. Or, put another way, having a fan can cut energy consumption by 40% in summer and 10% in winter, studies show.įans impart atmosphere, too, points out designer Amanda Lindroth, founder of the Amanda Lindroth Collection, who has an office in Nassau, Bahamas. Plus, ceiling fans are energy savers using one in the summer can allow you to comfortably raise your thermostat four degrees, according to the U.S. The message seems to be that scrapping a fan that is out of step with your décor is easier than finding a good-looking replacement.īut that’s a bummer if you’re a fan of fans, not to mention shortsighted in some climates and in multilevel homes, where, by keeping air circulating, a fan can help maintain a constant temperature. Fans of home-reno shows know: If a fixer-upper has a ceiling fan, sure as shiplap, the interior designer will tear it out and replace it with a light fixture.
