Properly Installing the Ceiling Fan

There are a few reasons to install a ceiling fan in your house. Ceiling fan companies realize this and provide the consumer with numerous accessories and parts to help install a ceiling fan in a number of locations. A Complete manual on how to install a Ceiling Fan may take more than just an article; it may all even take up an entire booklet. Take into account that if you employ a professional to install it, you will be paying extra cash.

Room size dictates the fan best suited but as a basic rule of thumb most rooms can accommodate a 50″ or 52″ size fan, consequently all manufacturers make their most popular styles in this size. Today there are so many choices of blades and you can choose between size, the color or style. Knowing the size of the room is important so you can pick the right size of fan. What size fan is needed for a particular room? The most common size by far is the 52″ fan, which is typically appropriate for most rooms.

Weights are included which allow you to perfectly balance your blades to eliminate wobbling. Ideally you want a clearance of approximately 7 to 8 feet from the ceiling fan blades to the floor.

The standards for ceiling fans are really non existent, the length of blades will vary depending on the brand your purchase. The more the number of the blades, the costlier is the fan. When choosing a ceiling fan many people believe that the more blades you have will give you better circulation in the room.

When installing ceiling fans you need to measure to make sure the blades have room to rotate, to the height of the blades will need to be 8 feet from the ground. Many ceiling fans come with all the fittings tucked and hidden under the blades so they are not seen.

When wiring the fan make sure that all connections are tight, use wire nuts to do, there should be no wires showing, since this will be dangerous. Most homes today come with 12 or 14 gauges copper wire which is attached an amp which is 15 to 20. When preparing to install the ceiling fan make sure you are prepared with the proper tools, many instructions let you know what tools are necessary, screw drivers, circuit testers, drill, ladder and pliers.

If all the above is taken into consideration you will enjoy years of increased comfort and energy savings with your new ceiling fan. Ceiling fans can reduce your energy bills up to 40% in the summer and 10% in the winter. All ceiling fans are now energy efficient, but all fans are not created equally all have different efficiency rating.

The fans today come with an Energy Star rating, try to find the best energy rating you can, this will save the amount of electric you use.

Light on a ceiling fan can be useful in bedrooms, home theatres, and any other location it is beneficial to adjust the fan and lights without having to get up and operate a wall switch or pull cord. Many light packages have stems or branches which are adjustable and these lights have the ability to be pointed to any position. Many fan lights come in a covered bowl configuration, the bulbs are hidden by the bowl, the bowl can be removed to change the light bulbs. Some even have fitters that you can mount lights from.
