How to Save Money When Buying Ceiling Fan Wholesale

In 2011, I even disassembled a fan motor while researching a ceiling-fan feature for Popular Mechanics ; with the team there, I collected data and tried to chart the exact recommended blade diameter per square footage of a room and determined the ideal blade count, digging deep to find the true sweet spot of a fan’s cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air movement.

I’ve personally installed at least nine ceiling fans over the years—the first few with a colleague from This Old House magazine, others alongside pro electricians I was interviewing, and the last four on my own at home.

After going through all that work, I realized something: Many of the stats and facts I found, while technically accurate in the strictest sense, don’t mean much for the average fan buyer. The truth is, it’s easy to find a decent fan. At least a half dozen manufacturers make perfectly good and affordable fans that will last you a decade or even longer, and they all fulfill the basic functions of moving air with essentially silent and steady operation.

But time and again (specifically, seven times across three different homes), I find that I keep going back to the Westinghouse Comet 52-Inch Indoor Ceiling Fan. While it would be a lie to claim that it—or any other fan, for that matter—is the singular best ceiling fan among the thousands of available models, the Westinghouse Comet has consistently proven itself to be silent, powerful, affordable, and understated. And when it comes to a ceiling fan, that’s all you really need.

In four rooms in Los Angeles, with over five years of continuous operation as of 2022, these fans are all doing well. So well, in fact, that we’ve never had the opportunity to execute a true comparison test, which is a weakness of this article relative to a standard Wirecutter guide (like the one on, say, room fans). We understand that what works for one home might not work for another, and we haven’t given up on the idea of truly testing multiple ceiling fans side by side in some cohesive, consistent way. Meanwhile, we’ve put together some advice on what to look for when you’re shopping for a new ceiling fan.

Today’s range of ceiling fans have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and nowadays they’re considered an important design feature as well as being an incredibly functional and cost-efficient way to keep your home cool. It can be difficult to find the right fit, so we’ve put together a definitive guide to help you choose the perfect ceiling fan.

Choose your colour

The current go-to color palette is anything dark, so think black, charcoal, dark wood and bronze. Matte black provides a striking fit for industrial style, contemporary and mid-century modern interiors. Darker ceiling fans are also a great contrast to a more neutral palette and can easily be matched with any other colors in a room.

Match the blade type to the room

While metal blade fans produce a fraction more noise than timber blade fans, they also generate more airflow. This makes them the perfect choice for larger areas such as living and dining spaces. Timber blade fans are ideal for bedrooms or studies, and plastic or ABS blades are perfect to withstand harsher climates or coastal area conditions.

Choose your fan size

It’s important to measure your room and ceiling height before you purchase any ceiling fan. Use this chart as your guide.

Ceiling fan blades should hang at least 11.8 inches from the ceiling, with at least 2.1 meter clearance to the floor. If your ceiling is higher than 3 meters from the floor, you’ll need an downrod which is optional with all Beacon Lighting ceiling fans. For lower ceilings, choose a hugger ceiling fan.

Fan Size Recommendations Room size ft² Fan size (inches) Up to 75 ft² 48" 76 - 144 ft² 48" - 52" 144 - 225 ft² 56" 225 - 400 ft² 56" - 80"

Choose an AC or DC motor

While all ceiling fans can save you money on your power bills, DC (direct current) fans deliver the ultimate in power and performance, consuming 75% less electricity than a standard AC ceiling fan and can run as little as 1c per hour!
