Frequently Asked Questions

How high should a ceiling fan be from the floor?

For residential fans, safety codes require a minimum clearance of 7.5 feet under the blades. If you are installing an industrial-rated fan, a minimum of 10 feet is required. For ceilings higher than 12 feet, hang your fan at least one-third the distance to the floor while maintaining that 7.5-foot minimum clearance. For optimal performance, a height of 9–10 feet is ideal.

How many blades are best for a ceiling fan?

Airflow is determined by a combination of factors including motor size, blade pitch, and blade materials. Instead of counting blades, compare fans using their standardized Airflow (CFM) and Airflow Efficiency (CFM per Watt) ratings. A higher CFM means more air is moved, while higher efficiency means more air movement per watt of electricity used.

What is a "Hugger" or Low Profile fan?

A hugger fan is designed to be installed flush against the ceiling without a downrod. These should be used exclusively in rooms with a ceiling height of 8 feet or less to maximize headroom while maintaining safe clearance.

Can I put a regular ceiling fan outside?

No. You must use an outdoor-rated fixture. Use Damp Rated fans for covered areas like screened porches, and Wet Rated fans for exposed structures like pergolas where the fan will be in direct contact with rain or snow.

Can I use a dimmer switch with my ceiling fan?

Do not use a standard wall dimmer for the fan motor, as it can cause humming or permanent motor damage. You must use a specialized Fan Speed Control or the remote control specifically designed for that model.
