  3. How do I measure my room?
    Reply

    When you measure your room, you need to measure the square feet to be sure, but you’ll also need to measure the height. If you have low ceilings you’ll want a more low-profile ceiling fan that doesn’t dangle much, if at all. If you have higher ceilings, you will want one that dangles. You also need to account for angles ceilings. If your ceiling has a slope, you need to make sure the blades don’t come in contact with any part of the ceiling.

  4. Can I get a modern ceiling fan with a light?
    Reply

    Not all modern ceiling fans will come with a light. But if you need extra light in your room, it’s a good idea to purchase a ceiling fan with a light attached at the base. Some ceiling fans can be activated by a chain, but if the ceiling is too high up, you’ll want to make sure you have a remote.

  7. What size fan do I need?
    Reply

    The size of fan you need will depend on the size of your room. The larger the fan, the better it will be for the largest rooms in your home. Measure the room and choose a fan with a suitable size by measure the span of the blades. If the fan has an even number of blades, measure the entire blade-span. If it has an odd number of blades, measure the span between two of the blades. For a room that is up to 400 square feet, you’ll want a fan between 52 to 72 inches in diameter.

  8. Can I put more than one fan in a room?
    Reply

    It is not faux pas to put in multiple modern ceiling fans. If you have a large living room, you may for sure want to add two fans because one ceiling fan may not be enough to effectively circulate air in the room. So, by all means, add more than one. But be sure that the fans are far enough from each other that they do not collide.
