What size fan do I need for my room?
Selecting the right ceiling fan size is important for both comfort and efficiency. A fan that is too small may not circulate enough air, while an oversized fan can overwhelm the space. The ideal fan size is determined by the room’s square footage and ceiling height.

  • Small Rooms (up to 75 sq. ft.) – Bedrooms, offices, or small kitchens. Choose a fan with a 29"–36" blade span for effective airflow.

  • Medium Rooms (76–144 sq. ft.) – Standard bedrooms or dining rooms. A 36"–42" fan is usually sufficient.

  • Large Rooms (144–225 sq. ft.) – Living rooms or larger bedrooms. Opt for a 44"–50" fan.

  • Extra-Large Rooms (225–400+ sq. ft.) – Open-plan living rooms, great rooms, or large areas. Select a 52"–60"+ fan, or install two smaller fans for balanced air circulation.

Installation Tips:

  • The fan should be mounted so that the blades are at least 7–9 feet above the floor and 8–10 inches below the ceiling.

  • For ceilings higher than 10 feet, consider using a downrod to ensure optimal airflow.

  • For sloped ceilings, make sure your fan is compatible with angled mounts.

By choosing the right size and following proper installation guidelines, you’ll maximize airflow, reduce energy costs, and keep your room comfortable year-round.
