Ceiling Fan Installation: What to Consider
A ceiling fan is a great addition to the home. It pushes down warm air in the colder months and circulates cool air in warmer ones. It’s a good investment, and a vital upgrade if you’d like to cut the cost you would’ve spent on an AC unit.
But when it comes to options, there are a lot of blade sizes and positions for a ceiling fan installation in every room in any house. If you’re swamped with choices and have no idea where to start, we’re here to give you a basic outline of what you might want to consider.
Measure Up
Before you start looking into anything else, you want to measure the room you want your ceiling fan installation to take place in. The general rule is that your ceiling fan reaches eight or nine feet off the ground. Taking into context the height of your ceiling, this may require a downrod of a certain size.
And your room size will also play a part in determining the length of your downrod. It works with blade sweep, which is the term for the measurement of the blade span from one tip to the other. A room up to 75 square feet will require a blade sweep around 29-36 inches, while a room more than 350 square feet will need a sweep that’s 60 inches or more.
So don’t worry, you’ll get to soak in all the styles and colors. Just make sure you’ve worked out the numbers so you know what to look for.
Blades of Glory
How many blades do you see in your dream ceiling fan? There’s no wrong answer. Several right options are depending on what quality you’d like your fan to bring to your space.
There are three-blade ceiling fans that are usually cheaper both in installation and in the cost of energy bills. They turn faster than other options, resulting in a stronger breeze created. Three-blade fans are light and balanced in design, but some models are louder than alternative blade options, which may become a problem in terms of ambient noise.
Most home-designed ceiling fans come with four or five blades. They’re quieter and ideal for circulating air without excess noise. They’re often more stylized, but with the increase in blade weight, they tend to move slower and can be less efficient than other ceiling fan options.
Lights Up, Lights Out
A big part of choosing a model for your ceiling fan installation is the aesthetics and functionality. Most ceiling fans come with lights, and an existing ceiling light fixture can be converted into a fan with professional adaptation. Ceiling fan light fixtures come in a variety of styles and sizes, and they function both in lighting your room and keeping it fresh.
If you already have fixed lighting in your space, you might want to consider a traditional or low-profile ceiling fan. Low-profile fans work best if the room you’d like to install them in has a particularly low ceiling, and it creates airflow with extra safety precautions.
Whatever you pick, your choice in a ceiling fan installation, especially when it’s done by a WireNut technician, will give you fresh air and pleasant breezes 365 days a year.

How can I keep my ceiling fan in optimal condition?
Our electricians would be happy to perform a yearly maintenance service on your ceiling fan to ensure optimal operation, however in the intervening months, there are some simple and effective maintenance steps that you can do on your own.
- Spin the fan for 10 minutes or so, at least once a week, to prevent dust buildup on the top of the fan blades.
- Keep any ceiling decorations such as hanging planters, birthday balloons, and the like well clear of the ceiling fan. Dry soil in a planter can be blown about by the ceiling fan, creating dust and debris, as well as potentially getting sucked into the intake of the motor housing for the ceiling fan.
- As well, visually inspect your fan at least once a month by standing underneath it and inspecting it for anything out of the ordinary, both with and without the ceiling fan spinning. If you do see anything amiss, don’t hesitate to call us and book an inspection and service to ensure your ceiling fan is returned to optimal condition as soon as possible
