Don’t Buy The Cheapest One...

Ceiling fans ranging in price from $30 to $400 may look similar at first glance. Bear in mind that the lower end fans often have inefficient motors and inadequate blades.

Before you buy a fan, consider the size of the room you want to cool. A 52-inch fan is good for a room that's 225 square feet or larger, while a 42-inch fan is appropriate for rooms ranging in size from 144 to 225 square feet

Unless you don't mind buzzing and humming sounds, don't buy a multi-speed fan with only one capacitor inside its motor. A quality fan able to handle three speeds should have at least three capacitors.

 

The most important part of a ceiling fan is its motor. High-end brands usually have the most energy-efficient, well-designed motors.

 

For a ceiling fan to move the right amount of air, its blades should be set at a 14 degree angle. Blades set at a 10 degree angle will simply slice the air, while blades at a 20-degree angle will meet so much resistance that the motor may burn out.
