Ceiling fans come with plenty features and are a lovely way to enjoy circulated air in a space. Additionally, when it is made properly, it can elevate the appearance of your space. There are numerous options to select from on the market right now because they come with different designs and styles.
There are three main styles; these are the hanging propeller, directional, and rotational. Let’s see what these three styles involve.
This style is found in many types of ceiling fans. As the name implies, this ceiling fan looks like a propeller. It hangs down from the ceiling and pushes air around the room.
This type of ceiling fan comes with the ability to turn at a specified angle. While the propeller type pushes air all around the room, the directional type can be adjusted to move and point at a specific point in the room.
This type of ceiling fan incorporates the features of a directional and hanging propeller fan ceiling fan. It has several blades that turn independently and cover the entire space.
The work of any fan in the home is to rotate air and make you feel comfortable. They are made to move air around and ensure a refreshed space.
A ceiling fan comes with several benefits over other types of fans and air control appliances – especially the air conditioner.
The main advantage of a ceiling fan over other air control appliances is the efficiency. While others might make the air cooler faster and for longer, they cut deeper into your energy bills. However, ceiling fans are a cheaper alternative that also save you money down the road. Running an AC all day in the summer can be expensive, but with a ceiling fan, you can enjoy cool days without worrying about your bills.
With ceiling fans, you will not have to use your AC unit frequently.
Another advantage of ceiling fans with lights is that you can have more air control solutions regardless of the weather. At the start of summer, for instance, you might not feel hot enough to use the AC unit; but you can use the ceiling fan.
In winter as well, using the reverse function, you can have the ceiling fan blow warm air through the room and ensure proper circulation.
Ceiling fans are also useful in terms of aesthetics. The ceiling fans with lights add illumination and another dimension to how appealing your space looks. Since there are so many options available, you will certainly find a unit that will serve your needs.
The best ceiling fans with lights offer illumination in the space. The options we have reviewed all come with light kits. Thus, it adds more light to the room and improves your style.
Depending on the model of the ceiling fan, you can install the light kit later or have the kit pre-installed on the fan.
Ceiling fans are very easy to handle. Most of the options on the market either come with a pull-down chain or remote controls. Some also allow you to dim the lights to a level that you like. For example, the Honeywell Ceiling Fans 50614-01 Carnegie LED Ceiling Fan comes with dimmable lights.
Ceiling fans are excellent appliances that help you to cool off or relax underneath. The problem is that there are just so many options on the market and many of them only come with bells and whistles without offering real value. Even when you find quality options, they come in different styles and you have to decide between a modern style and a traditional style.
There are a lot of things to consider before making a buying choice. However, the first thing you must consider is the type of fan you want to buy that would meet your needs.
You might look over at your friend’s lovely fan but discover that it does not fit your space. You also have to consider whether you want a fan with in-built lights. Some come with different installation options too and can service different room sizes.
Some makers have fans that are super durable and can even be used outside the home because of their waterproof design. There are smart fans that come with Smart features and others that can be controlled via a remote.
As you can see, there are so many features to consider before you make a buying decision.
With all these in mind, let us see the key features that will affect the buying choice.
In this aspect, there are several things to consider. First, you must think about the material that the blades are made from. Most of the best ceiling fans are made from either wood, plastic or metal. For instance, the Hunter Fan Company Hunter 53237 Transitional 52’’ Ceiling Fan comes with five wooden blades.
Wooden and metal blades are the best in terms of durability. They also have the most elegant and authentic appearance; adding to the style of your space. Plastic might offer similar performance, but it lacks the sophistication of metal and wooden options.
Aside from the material of the blades, you should also consider the number of blades. Some come with a bladeless design, others with three blades and other up to 8 blades. The most powerful option on our roundup is the Honeywell Ceiling Fans 50609-01 Xerxes Ceiling Fan and it comes with 8 blades. Remember that the lower the number of blades, the lower the power of the fan. Most people stick with five blades ceiling fans for the best air circulation.
Before installing a ceiling fan, you must check out the ceiling height. Unfortunately, only a few people consider this factor before they make a buying choice. Do not fall into that category. Instead check out the height before buying a fan.
If you have a low ceiling, then you shouldn’t buy a low-hanging fan because it would be too close to your head for comfort. This can be dangerous and result in injuries. Even if it doesn’t cause any injuries, it can affect your movement in the room and be a discomfort.
For such ceilings, we recommend buying a flush mount ceiling fan like the Honeywell Ceiling Fans 50614-01 Carnegie LED Ceiling Fan. This type of fan lies almost touching the ceiling and reduces discomfort.
When it comes to controls, you have several avenues to avail yourself from. There is the traditional pull cord and the remote control.
For the highest level of convenience, you should opt for a remote control option. However, the traditional pull cord looks vintage and can add a classic look to your space
With the remote control, you can adjust the speeds, lights, and other settings without getting up. Remote control also comes in very handy if you have a high ceiling.
Some of the best options on the market come with both controls. For example, the Hunter Fan Company Hunter 53237 Transitional 52’’ Ceiling Fan has a remote controller and pull-down chain.
Ceiling fans come in a wide variety of sizes. Some are as small as 18” while others have a length of more than 70”. When making a buying choice, it is essential that you select a model that fits the size you want. If it is too big, it can distort how your room looks.
The size also affects the ceiling height. If your ceiling is high, the best option is a ceiling fan with a downrod. That feature lets you suspend the fan from the ceiling. This is especially important if it is a pull chain controlled model.
A small room with low ceiling height would benefit from a low profile fan.
Apart from the size of the ceiling and height, you must also think about the size of the room. The size of the fan would affect the power and amount of air it pushes. If you have a big room and install a small fan, you would not get the amount of air you desire and vice versa.
The best ceiling fans with lights come with instruction details that let you set it up yourself. They often come simple to install. However, since you would need to wire these to your home electrical circuit, you might require the services of a professional.
Hiring an electrician would give you peace of mind although it would cost you more.
If you have DIY skills, though, you should be able to set up the fan on your own.
The options we have reviewed in this post come with lighting. The light built into them makes them highly convenient to use because of the extra illumination. They can b easily set up with the fan.
Check out the brightness of the lights and the effect it has on your electrical bills before you install the fan.
The RPM, or Rotation per Minute, refers to the speed of the motor. A fast motor translates into a faster fan that generates more airflow.
RPM in ceiling fans range from 2000 RPM to 8000 RPM. The higher the RPM, the more powerful. Therefore, if you have a large room, you should consider buying a ceiling fan with a large RPM value.
While the bigger RPM would give you more power, it produces more noise, so you should be wary of that. If you are planning on installing a fan in a bedroom and are a light sleeper, then choose a model with a lower RPM value.
CFM is another important metric when choosing a ceiling fan. The cubic feet per minute refers to how much breeze produced by the fan. As with RPM, the higher the CFM value, the more powerful the fan is.
If you have a medium room, a CFM of 4000 is enough without making you feel in a gale. If you have a larger room, you might need up to 7000 CFM from your fan.
Our models reviewed come with different CFM values with the Honeywell Ceiling Fans 50609-01 Xerxes Ceiling Fan having up to 10,000 CFM and the Honeywell Ceiling Fans 50614-01 Carnegie LED Ceiling Fan as low as 500 CFM.
A warranty insures you from the loss. You should buy a ceiling fan with a lengthy warranty. That way, you can return it or repair it with no additional cost. The Hunter Fan Company 51023 Hunter Conroy comes with a life-time warranty on the motor.
The good thing about ceiling fans, and all the models we have reviewed in this post, is that they can be used in different weather. Due to the reversible function, you can use it in winter and summer.
We have considered 7 of the best ceiling fans with lights on the market right now.
