"Today's visit was for my annual electrical inspection on the whole house rewire Mr. Sparkey did two years ago. Smoke detecters, surge protector and numerous outlets and toggle switches check. He gave me a written evealuation; nothing pressing but things on the horizon. AND HE CLEANED MY CEILING FANS! All for a VERY reasonable $99.00."

"We had several items for Dean. He installed 2 ceiling fans inside the house and one on the deck. Then, we had at least 10 outlets to be installed. We can't say enough about him. He was prompt, professional, skilled, available to answer questions and incredibly helpful. He was careful not to make a mess and cleaned up everywhere he worked. Plus, his prices were way beyond reasonable. Anytime we need anything electrical done or have friends that do, we will not hesitate to call him. All we can say now is, THANK YOU."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example: 

  • Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.

  • Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.

  • Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.

  • Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

Generally, a ceiling fan should be mounted at least seven feet from the floor in the center of your room with a wall clearance of around 18 inches. If your ceiling is more than eight feet high, it’s recommended by experts that the ceiling fan be mounted around eight to nine feet from the ground. This helps ensure a better quality of circulated airflow.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.
