Adequate indoor airflow on warm-weather days is crucial to staying cool, and ceiling fans are ideal candidates for keeping the air moving and preventing stale, stagnant rooms. Modern ceiling fans use about the same power as a 100-watt light bulb, and when used throughout your home, they can help control the temperature year-round. Shop ceiling fans at Ace Hardware from a wide variety of top-rated brands.

Types of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans have come a long way in the last few decades and are now available in numerous sizes and styles. Here some of the most popular types of ceiling fans:

  • Low-profile ceiling fans: Sitting closer to the ceiling than traditional fans, low-profile fans take up less space and allow for greater headspace and a clearer view.
  • Ceiling fans with lights: These fans serve a dual purpose—illumination and air flow—and may be compatible with LED or incandescent bulbs. Some ceiling fans have one light, while others may have three or more.
  • Small ceiling fans: Best for small rooms, most small fans have three to five blades, which can range in length but are typically under 42 inches.
  • Large ceiling fans: Ideal for large spaces, they can feature anywhere from three to nine blades measuring upwards of 42 inches.

How to Choose Ceiling Fan Blade Sizes

Choosing the right size of ceiling fan is important for your comfort. Too small, and they won’t cool you very well. Too large, and they’ll overpower the room and create stiff breezes not ideal for the indoors. According to EnergyStar, the ideal diameter for a ceiling fan is based on room size:

  • Up to 75 square feet: 29 to 36 inches in diameter
  • 76 to 144 square feet: 36 to 42 inches in diameter
  • 144 to 225 square feet: 44 inches in diameter
  • 225 to 400 square feet: 50 to 54 inches in diameter

Ceiling Fan Blade Pitch

Ceiling fan blades come in numerous shapes, but the shape doesn’t necessarily affect its performance. The angle at which the blade is set ultimately determines how your fan moves air about the room. The larger the blade pitch, the more air your ceiling fan will stir up.

Indoor Ceiling Fans vs. Outdoor Ceiling Fans

While indoor and outdoor ceiling fans are very similar, they differ in their ability to withstand wind and moisture. Indoor ceiling fans aren’t constructed from weather-resistant materials like their outdoor cousins, which also feature a more powerful motor.

  • Dry-rated ceiling fans are for indoor use only, and only in rooms with normal humidity levels.
  • Damp-rated ceiling fans are designed for indoor or outdoor spaces where the fan will be exposed to slight moisture or high humidity.
  • Wet-rated ceiling fans are waterproof and can be exposed to rain.

Ceiling Fan Mounting Options

Installing a ceiling fan is a simple DIY project. Fans are either flush-mount or downrod-mount.

  • Flush-mount fans: Mounted flush with the ceiling, these fans are ideal for low-clearance rooms like the basement or attic.
  • Downrod-mount ceiling fans: Perfect for ceilings that are eight feet or higher, these fans are mounted with a downrod that lowers the ceiling fan to a reasonable height for maximum airflow.

Special Features on Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans range from extremely simple, fan-only models to fully loaded fans with lights and lots of bells and whistles. At Ace, you can find ceiling fans with:

  • Color-changing light technology that enables you to customize the light color and temperature for any occasion.
  • Remote control ceiling fans that can conveniently be turned on or off.
  • Adjustable speeds to customize the airflow to your preference.
  • Reversible blades that allow you to change the look of your fan by removing the blades, turning them over and re-attaching them.

Ceiling Fan Accessories

If you’re looking to repair a damaged ceiling fan or overhaul an older model, Ace Hardware has many ceiling fan accessories, including replacement down rods, pull chain switches and ceiling fan blades as well as a selection of ceiling fan lights to add a new look to a familiar fan.
