This depends mainly on the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating which indicates the amount of air flow that is moved. Your ceiling fan dealer or manufacture can determine the CFM ratings for different ceiling fans. Another way is to compare different fans during actual use in the store and feel the breeze each produces. The fan with the greatest breeze will usually have the greatest CFM rating.

Blade pitch is the angle of the blades when compared to the horizontal. Quality fans generally have a blade pitch of 12-14 degrees. Lesser fans can have a blade pitch as low as 8 or 10 degrees. The higher the pitch, the more pressure the fan blade applies to the air in front of it as it turns and the more air is forced downward. That's why some lesser quality fans can look like they're spinning up a storm, but when you stand under them, you can't feel anything.

To get maximum comfort and energy savings, it is necessary to choose the correct size fan for a room. Blade span is the key. A fan that is too small or too big for your room may look awkward. A fan that is too small probably will not move enough air and a fan that is too big might overpower the room. We recommend the following: Large Rooms - For rooms up to 225 square feet (15' x 15') and larger, use a fan with a blade span of 50", 52", 54", or 56".

Problems found with good quality fans after installation are usually due to improper installation. We recommend hiring an expert to install the fan. If your ceilings are are pre-wired for ceiling fans, we recommend an experienced licensed handyman who is qualified to install the fans.

ceiling height in feet minus 9' = downrod length. This formula is based on the fan-to-floor distance of 8 feet plus 1 foot for the dimension of the fan. So if your ceiling height is 12 feet, you need a 3 foot downrod in order to properly position the fan 8 feet from the floor.
