One of the best things that you can add to a room in your home is a ceiling fan. But there are so many ceiling fans that you can choose from, so how do you know which one is right for you? Here are 6 quick tips that you should use when you are looking at ceiling fans to help you find the one that will suit your needs best.

1. Choose based on the size of the room:
   1. 75 square feet and under – 44” or smaller
   2. Up to 350 square feet – 48” to 58”
   3. Over 350 square feet – 60” and larger
2. Fan blades should be a minimum of 7’ above your floor. The best height is 8 to 9 feet. However, if you are choosing a fan that has metal blades, the minimum should be 10 feet.
3. The air moved by a fan will depend on the blades’ angle. Look for a 14-degree pitch for the best air movement.
4. Choose light fitters and fixtures that match the finish of your fan.
5. When you add a bathroom fan, look for a fan that’s made to be used in a damp location. If you’re looking for one to use outdoors, it should be made to use in a wet location.
6. Purchase the highest quality fan that’s affordable.
