When selecting ceiling fans, it’s important to keep several things in mind. You should keep them at least 24inches from any obstructions or walls. Additionally, you should choose one that matches the airflow needs of the room. This is important as fans don’t cool the room. They only circulate air.
Blade pitch
Consider the pitch of the blades when choosing a ceiling fan. Higher pitches produce more airflow. Because they are spread over a larger area, low pitch fans move less air. Conversely, high pitch fans push more air because their blades are tilted upward. The pitch of a ceiling fan is dependent on many factors, including the motor and blade shape. High-pitch models are made with high-quality components and consume less energy than low-pitch models.
Generally speaking, larger rooms will require a higher-pitched fan. Because smaller fans won’t work well in large rooms, this is because they are less efficient. Usually, the fan blades must be 12 degrees in order to create maximum airflow.
Size
The size of a ceiling fan is an important consideration when installing one in a room. While it can vary greatly, the best size for a small bedroom or bathroom is a model with a blade diameter of less than 29 inches. This fan is ideal for spaces less than 50 square foot. Smaller models are also available with blade diameters of 20 inches or less. These models are great for small rooms, closets, or areas with electronics.
The diameter of the blades is also an important consideration. Ceiling fans with an even number of blades are generally easier to measure than those with odd numbers of blades. In order to properly measure the diameter of a ceiling fan, use a measuring tape. The measuring tape should be stretched from the tip of one blade to the tip of the blade opposite to it. To determine the radius of the ceiling fan’s radius, the measuring tape should be extended to the center.
Finish
Consider the finish of the fan blades when choosing ceiling fans. If you’re looking to complement the existing decor in the room, try to match the finish of the fan blades with the color of the wood in the room. For example, if you have oak molding around the fireplace or cherry wood upholstered furniture, try matching the finish of the fan blades with the color of the wood in these areas. You can also choose a metal finish on the body of the fan to complement the other fixtures in the room.
Remote control
A remote control for ceiling fans allows you to control the speed and direction of the fan without touching it. The remote control can include a display that displays the speed of rotation and intensity of the light. This makes it easy for you to find the right fan.
There are many types of ceiling fan remote control. Some ceiling fan remote controls work with more than one fan, while others are compatible with a limited number of models. A CUL-US-listed remote will work with most fans. These remotes can handle up 1 amp fan and 190 W of light.
Lifetime warranty
A lifetime warranty is a must when buying a ceiling fan. A damaged motor can cause the entire unit to be out of commission. This warranty should cover the entire fixture. The warranty will also cover any fan parts that are damaged or defective due to misuse. A higher-end ceiling fan will have more expensive parts, such as solid wood blades and a more sophisticated control system.
Ceiling fan warranties typically cover the majority of the parts. However, remote controls and light bulbs are not covered. This is the unspoken agreement between the manufacturer and the end user. Ceiling fans are more susceptible to failure than other parts, so you will need to replace the entire unit if one of them fails. You may be able get a replacement bulb if the lightbulb isn’t covered. However, this won’t affect overall fan function.
