Size Factors to Consider During Ceiling Fan Installation in Chesapeake, VA

Posted by Writer - June 21, 2016 - Fan Installation

Whenever you are preparing to install a new ceiling fan in a room in your home, you need to consider exactly how large the ceiling fan needs to be to best fit and function in the area. Fans that are too large are potential safety hazards, while fans that are too small do not give much benefit.

Here are a few size factors to consider during ceiling fan installation in Chesapeake, VA:

  • Rooms that are approximately 75 square feet are best served by a fan that has a blade diameter of 29 to 36 inches.
  • Rooms measuring between 75 and 144 square feet are best suited to fans that have a blade diameter of between 36 and 42 inches.
  • Rooms between 144 and 225 square feet are best suited to fans that have 44-inch blade diameters.
  • Rooms that are between 225 and 440 square feet are most appropriate for fans with blade diameters of between 50 and 54 inches.

The general rule of thumb is that the blade tips should be a minimum of 30 inches away from walls and any other potential obstructions, with the bottom edges of the blades being a minimum of seven feet off the ground.
