LOCATION IS EVERYTHING

Where you will install your fan is the first step in selecting the right fan for your space.

We’ve made it easy for you! Look for these icons to identify location rating:

Dry, indoor location
Choose from any of our fans: dry, damp or wet rated.

Outdoor covered or high-humidity indoor location
Choose from our damp or wet rated fans.

Outdoor location with likely direct contact with water
Choose from our wet rated fans.

SIZE MATTERS

The size of your room can help determine the size of your fan, identified by blade sweep.

The following are general guidelines; however, scale is a personal preference.

  • Large diameter fans can go in both small rooms and larger rooms. It’s all in the look you desire.
  • Optimal performance will come from mounting your fan in the center of the room.
  • If you have a long or large room, consider the use of multiple fans.

UNDERSTANDING AIRFLOW

We provide airflow information at high speed for each fan.

Airflow is measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), energy used is measured in watts and the energy efficiency of the fan is measured in CFM per watt.

Energy information at high speed:

Airflow

The greater the number, the greater the air moved

Electricity Use

The greater the number, the greater the air moved

Airflow Efficiency

The greater the number, the more efficient the fan is

SEASONAL CEILING FAN USE

Ceiling fans save money year-round when turning in the proper direction.
