All You Need To Know Before Buying A Ceiling Fan – News18

Living in India means dealing with warmer temperatures. This means you are compelled to seek assistance from cooling electrical appliances. Out of all the appliances that can be found in every household, a ceiling-mounted fan is a must-have addition as it works best for circulating air into the room. The ceiling fan circulates air using its hub-mounted, rotating blades, thereby improving the overall temperature of the room. However, buying a fan is not easy as you need to consider many factors. One of the major factors to be considered is the ceiling fan height. In this article, we will be decoding the right ceiling fan dimensions. These dimensions will be based on the ceiling fan height from the floor.

Well, due to the safety concerns, it is mostly suggested to hang your ceiling fan 7 feet above the ground. It is pertinent to note that at least 10 inches of space between the ceiling and fan blades should be there to maintain the optimum airflow. Needless to mention, ceiling fans must be mounted in the centre of a room. Besides, it needs to be 18 inches from the nearest wall. However, if the height of the ceiling allows you to do so, the fan should be installed 8 to 9 feet above the ground.

Coming to the determination of fan size as per the size of the room, a fan of 29-36 inches is enough to keep it cool in a room up to 75 sq. ft. Similarly, pick a fan of 36-42 inches for a room 76-144 sq. ft in size. Moving next, a fan of the size around 44 inches works well for a room size 144-225 sq. ft.

If you do not know how to determine the right fan size that will fit your room perfectly, here is the trick. Just measure the length and the width of your room. Simply multiply the two numbers. The result is your room size in square feet.
