Ceiling fans are a vital part of home furnishings and fixtures. The perfect ceiling fan has been carefully selected based on several factors. According to Zippia, 63% of all purchases start online. Whether you’re buying your ceiling fan online or in a physical store, the style and finish are obviously important, but more important than that are the following technical considerations that you must keep in mind.
Fan Location
Where the fan will be located is a very important detail. The fan location will determine the type of fan you need to purchase. Indoor fans and outdoor fans are vastly different from one another, so you must be sure you’re getting the right one for your needs.
Ceiling Fan Size
Fans will come in many different sizes. The size you need is based on the size of the area you hope to cool. You should start by measuring the size of the room. In order to get an accurate measurement you need to take the length and multiply it by the width. This will give you the square footage of the room. Once you have the square footage, you can consult with ceiling fan professionals. They will be able to advise you on which fan is the right size for your space.
Mounting Style
The mounting style of the fan is also important. The mounting type will be based on the height of the ceiling. You need to take this information along with you to the lighting and fixture store. Here you can talk with the pros and get advice on which mounting type you need for your space.
Fan Controls
You should also take some time to consider the way you want to control your fan. There are many different options available. You can control a fan by remote control, wall controls, two-in-one for both wall and remote, and a pull chain. The way you want to control your fan will be based on your accessibility, mobility, and preferences. Take your time to look through the different options that are available to you. You don’t want to miss out on an option just because you didn’t do enough research when you were shopping.
These are just a few things to consider when you’re shopping for ceiling fans. If you’re in the market for fans or lighting fixtures, please stop by to see our inventory today.
