Choosing the right ceiling fan can be a daunting task but it all comes down to a few key factors. First and foremost, the design of the ceiling fan is obviously extremely important. But, there are other considerations that are often overlooked that are important to keep in mind when choosing the right fan including energy efficiency, wind speed, noise, air circulation capabilities, noise, and durability.

When choosing a ceiling fan, the size is often an overlooked factor. It’s a good idea to get the measurements of the room you are installing the ceiling fan in and bring them with you when purchasing it. This way, you’ll have a relative idea of how big or small the fan is in relation to the size of the room. Different sized ceiling fans will produce different effects, but it all comes down to your preferences at the end of the day.

The main difference between indoor and outdoor ceiling fans comes down to moisture. Indoor ceiling fans (dry-rated) are designed to service indoor areas that aren’t exposed to moisture. Outdoor ceiling fans are in either one of two categories: wet-rated or damp-rated. Wet-rated ceiling fans are built to withstand the elements and can be installed indoors or outdoors. Damp-rated outdoor fans can be installed in covered, damp areas but are not meant to be exposed to the elements.

There are a few reasons as to why your ceiling fan could be making noise. There could be loose parts that start rattling once in motion or if it’s a cheaper fan, they tend to be noisier as they use less integral parts. Another potential reason could be if your motor is connected to a dimmer control, it will wear out the fan which will eventually create noise.

The price of a ceiling fan will depend on several factors such as its look, energy-efficiency, speed options, and others. With ceiling fans, you get what you pay for, so if you’re looking to have an attractive fan that will last a long time, consider spending a bit more to ensure so.
