Galesburg Electric Lighting :: Fans and Fan Accessories :: Ceiling Fans
Ceiling FansAt first glance there may appear to be no difference between a $50 fan & one that costs $500. Inexpensive fans may look good when new, and they may even run well at first however, after continued use, they'll become noisy; or they'll warp, wobble or quickly wear out. Selecting the right ceiling fan can often be difficult so below are a few suggestions to help you pick the perfect one for your home: ˜If your room is up to 75sq. ft, select 29-36" blades. ˜If your room is up to 76-144sq. ft, select 36-42" blades. ˜If your room is up to 145-225sq. ft, select 42" blades. ˜If your room is up to 226-400sq. ft, select 50-54" blades. ˜Standard mounts come with a 3– 5" downrod, which is the metal pipe that extends from the ceiling bracket to the top of the fan. Downrods are usually either 1/2 or 3/4-inch in diameter. ˜Extended mounts can be used to hang the ceiling fan at the desired 8–9 feet from the floor for tall ceiling heights. Downrods can be purchased from 6 inches (9 ft ceiling) to 120 inches (20 ft ceiling). You can contact us here to help you determine the right downrod length for your needs. ˜Flushmounts anchor the fan directly against the ceiling. Most standard fans can be installed as a flushmount however, many manufacturers sell “hugger” or “low profile” ceiling fans that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hugger fans are ideal for rooms that have ceilings under 8 feet in height or in situations where a fan with optional light would hang down too low. Hugger fans will not move as much air as a regular fan because the blades are closer to the ceiling. ˜Sloped mounts are used for angled or vaulted ceilings.
