What Height Should Your Ceiling Fan Be?
Ceiling fans that are too low pose a safety hazard, especially for the taller members for your family. That’s why we recommend giving at least seven feet of ground clearance when placing a ceiling fan.
Another thing to consider is where the fan is in relation to other objects. For example, if you have a bunk bed set up in the room, make sure the fan blades don’t extend anywhere near the bed. A child climbing off the bed when the fan is on could result in a nasty head bump.
However, safety is just one part of deciding the correct height when buying a ceiling fan. There’s also aesthetics and functionality. To get the most cooling power out of your fans, you’ll want to leave more than eight inches of space between the fan blades and the ceiling. This will help to maximize airflow.
If you have a high ceiling, you’ll also want to consider investing in downrods. Downrods increase the distance between the fan and the ceiling to ensure optimal cooling. However, if you drop your fan too low, you’ll lose the open feeling of the room that high ceilings create.
That’s why we’ve provided some guidelines that’ll help you find the ceiling fan downrod length that’s right for your ceiling height.
20 foot ceiling = 72” downrod
18 foot ceiling = 60” downrod
16 foot ceiling = 48” downrod
14 foot ceiling = 36” downrod
12 foot ceiling = 24” downrod
10 foot ceiling = 12” downrod
What Size Should My Ceiling Fan Blades Be?
Finding the correct sized blade for your ceiling fan is about more than just aesthetics, it can also affect air flow.
When you are trying to cool a small room, shorter blades provide more direct airflow and are typically more efficient. However, when trying to cool a larger room, you’ll typically want longer blades since they create a softer, more comfortable air flow. You can even add in multiple ceiling fans if one isn’t enough.
Side note: The amount of blades doesn’t really affect the amount of air movement and circulation. Whether it’s two, three, or five blades, simply choose one that’s most visually appealing to you. It’s the strength of the motor that’s powering the fan that determines the actual volume of air that’s produced.
