FAQ

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CEILING FANS? 

 

When it comes to choosing the right ceiling fan for your home, the options can be overwhelming. There are many different types of ceiling fans available on the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. To help you navigate through the different options, we've compiled a list of the fundamental factors to consider when selecting the perfect ceiling fan for your home.

 

Ceiling Fans without Light

 

Ceiling fans are a popular and practical addition to any room, providing a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and create a comfortable living space. If you already have sufficient lighting in a room, such as LED downlights or wall lights, then opting for a ceiling fan without a light kit might be a better option for you.

 

Ceiling fans without light kits offer the same style and functionality as fans with light kits, without the added cost of an integrated light. They come in a range of designs, including modern, contemporary, and traditional styles, making it easy to find one that complements the decor of your room. In addition, a ceiling fan without a light kit can be a great budget-friendly option, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a fan without the added expense of a light.

 

Ceiling Fans with Light

 

Ceiling fans with lights are a popular and practical choice for any room that needs both cooling and lighting solutions. If your living space is lacking in sufficient light levels, then a ceiling fan with a light kit is a smart choice to enhance your home's ambiance and atmosphere.

 

The latest innovations in technology have resulted in the creation of ceiling fans with energy-efficient LED lights, which are quickly becoming the standard choice for many homeowners. LED lights provide brighter and longer-lasting illumination than traditional incandescent bulbs, while using less energy, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. In addition, LED lights have a range of colour temperatures, from warm to cool, allowing you to customize the lighting in your room to suit your preferences.

 

Ceiling Fans with Remote Control

 

Ceiling fans with remote controls are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and ease of use. If you're considering purchasing a ceiling fan, opting for one with a remote control can make your life much easier.


Ceiling fans that do not specify that they come with a remote control will typically come with a wall control instead. The downside of having a fan with a wall control is that it can be inconvenient to get up every time you want to turn the fan on/off or even to adjust the fan speed. This can be especially inconvenient when you're trying to relax or sleep and don't want to disturb your comfort. User can buy a separate remote control as an option.

 

AC / DC Motor Ceiling Fans

 

Ceiling fans are available in two motor types - AC and DC motors.

 

AC motor ceiling fans are connected directly to the power source, providing the force required to rotate the motor of the fan. They are generally less expensive than DC motor ceiling fans and come in a wide variety of styles and designs. AC motor ceiling fans are a good choice for those who are looking for a traditional and reliable option.

 

On the other hand, DC motor ceiling fans use the same AC power, but with the assistance of a transformer that converts the power to DC. This decreases the amount of power required to operate the fan, thus making it more energy efficient and cost-effective to run. Although DC technology is relatively new in the market, it has been gaining popularity due to its superior energy efficiency.

 

While DC ceiling fans are typically more expensive than their AC counterparts and come with fewer options in terms of design and style, they are a more sustainable and cost-effective long-term option. Additionally, DC ceiling fans offer features such as variable speed control, reverse airflow, and remote control options that make them more convenient to use.

 

Outdoor / Coastal Ceiling Fans

 

Outdoor and coastal ceiling fans are specially designed to withstand the elements of nature, including moisture, wind, and salt air. When it comes to selecting a ceiling fan for outdoor use, it's important to choose a fan that is rated for damp or wet locations. Damp-rated ceiling fans are suitable for covered outdoor areas, such as porches or patios, that are not directly exposed to rain or other forms of moisture. Wet-rated ceiling fans, on the other hand, can be installed in fully exposed outdoor areas, including decks and pergolas, and can withstand rain and other forms of moisture.

 

Coastal ceiling fans are designed to withstand the corrosive effects of salt air and are ideal for use in homes located near the ocean. These fans typically feature materials that are resistant to rust and corrosion, such as stainless steel or non-corrosive metals. They are also designed with sealed motors to prevent moisture and salt air from entering the motor and causing damage.

 

It's important to note that indoor ceiling fans should never be used for outdoor applications. Indoor fans are not designed to withstand the elements of nature and can be dangerous when exposed to moisture. Using an indoor fan outdoors can also void the warranty and lead to premature failure of the fan.

 

When choosing an outdoor or coastal ceiling fan, look for models with high Ingress Protection (IP) ratings or Damp ratings, as these indicate that the fan is designed to withstand moisture and other outdoor elements. Additionally, look for models with powerful motors that can deliver effective air movement, even in large outdoor spaces. With a properly selected and installed outdoor or coastal ceiling fan, you can enjoy a comfortable breeze and stylish look in your outdoor living spaces.

 

Low Profile Ceiling Fans

 

Low profile ceiling fans are a great option for those with low ceiling heights. These fans are designed to fit in tight spaces and not take up too much vertical space, making them perfect for rooms with ceilings that are less than 2.4 metres. These fans are just as effective as their standard counterparts in circulating air throughout a room and keeping you cool and comfortable.

 

One of the main benefits of low profile ceiling fans is their sleek and stylish design. They come in a variety of cool and contemporary styles that can match any room decor. Whether you prefer a minimalist look or a more ornate design, there's a low profile ceiling fan to suit your taste.

 

Smart Ceiling Fans

 

With the advancement of technology, there are now smart ceiling fans available on the market. These fans come with Wi-Fi enabled technology that can be easily controlled by a smartphone app or voice command using virtual assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This means you can control the fan from anywhere, even when you're away from home. You can adjust the fan speed, turn it on or off, and even set a schedule for the fan to turn on and off automatically.

 

One of the most significant advantages of smart ceiling fans is their ability to integrate with smart home systems. You can connect them with other smart devices in your home, such as your thermostat or lighting, and create a complete smart home ecosystem. Some models even have built-in sensors that can detect the temperature and humidity in the room and adjust the fan speed accordingly, providing optimal comfort.

 

WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A CEILING FAN?

 

Size of the Room: The size of the room will determine the size of the fan you need. For example, a small room (less than 7 square metres) will require a fan with a blade span of 36-49 inches, while a larger room (over 20 square metres) will require a fan with a blade span of 52 inches or more.

 

Ceiling Height: The height of the ceiling will also play a role in the type of ceiling fan you should choose. If you have a low ceiling, a flush mount or hugger fan may be the best choice. For higher ceilings, you may want to choose a fan with a downrod. As an option, the user may choose to purchase an extension rod for a high ceiling fan.

 

Motor: The motor is the heart of the fan and determines how well it performs. Look for a fan with a high-quality motor that is energy efficient and quiet.

 

Blade Pitch: The blade pitch refers to the angle at which the blades are set. A higher blade pitch will provide better air movement, which means that the fan will be more effective at keeping you cool.

 

Number of Blades: The number of blades on a fan can vary, but typically ranges from three to six. While more blades may look more aesthetically pleasing, they may not necessarily provide better air movement.

 

Blade Material: Blade material is a crucial factor when purchasing a ceiling fan, affecting both its performance and appearance. Popular materials include wood, metal, plastic, bamboo, and MDF, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

 

IP Rating: The ceiling fan's IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicates its resistance to moisture and dust, making it important to consider when choosing a fan for outdoor or indoor use.

 

Style and Design: Ceiling fans come in a wide range of styles and designs, so choose one that fits your personal taste and complements your home décor.

 

Energy Efficiency Rating: Look for a fan with an energy efficiency rating (EER) of at least 3, which means that it will use less energy and save you money on your utility bills.

 

Noise Level: No one wants a noisy fan, so look for one that is quiet, especially if you plan to use it in a bedroom or other quiet space.

 

Remote Control: Many ceiling fans come with a remote control, which can be a convenient feature, especially if you have high ceilings or the fan is in a hard-to-reach location.

 

Light Kit: Many ceiling fans come with a light kit, which can be a convenient way to add lighting to a room. Consider whether you need a fan with a light kit or if you prefer to install separate lighting.

 

Price: Ceiling fans can vary in price from under $100 to over $1,000. Set a budget for your purchase and look for a fan that fits within your budget.

 

WHERE TO INSTALL THE CEILING FAN?

 

Consideration of placement is crucial when installing ceiling fans. The architecture of the room should be taken into account to determine the ideal positioning. The presence of windows and doors can influence the effectiveness of the fan's airflow.

 

Typically, it is recommended to place the fan in the center of the room. However, this may not always be an option. In such cases, strive to position the fan equidistant from the walls. Alternatively, placing it directly above the primary living area can also be a viable option.

 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DC AND AC MOTOR IN A CEILING FAN?

 

DC Motor Ceiling Fans

 

- The latest motor innovations have made DC ceiling fans impressively hushed in operation compared to traditional AC motor fans.

- DC ceiling fans are celebrated for their exceptional energy efficiency, consuming up to 70% less power than their AC counterparts.

- DC ceiling fans tend to be more responsive to remote control commands, providing a broader range of speed settings, and they often feature a handy reverse function on the remote control.

- Thanks to their compact and lightweight DC motors, these ceiling fans often sport a more streamlined and contemporary design.

 


AC Motor Ceiling Fans

 

- AC ceiling fans are often priced more competitively, primarily due to the newer nature of DC technology.

- AC ceiling fans offer versatile control options, allowing for wall control, pull cords, or remote operation, while DC fans typically rely on remote control, except in unique cases.

- It's important to highlight that AC ceiling fans maintain strong energy efficiency, drawing considerably less electricity compared to many everyday household appliances.

 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STANDARD AND A LOW-PROFILE CEILING FAN?

 

A low-profile ceiling fan, often referred to as a hugger or flush-mount fan, is designed to be mounted closer to the ceiling compared to a standard ceiling fan. This is particularly useful for rooms with lower ceiling heights. If you're worried about meeting local building regulations that require a certain clearance between the floor and the fan, low-profile fans are tailored to keep that space as minimal as possible. These fans are specifically crafted to reduce the gap between the ceiling and the fan blades.

 

ARE THERE CEILING FANS DESIGNED FOR HIGH CEILINGS?

 

For ceilings that are 2.4 meters or higher, you can usually install a ceiling fan that meets Australian standards. These standards often require the fan blades to be positioned at a height of 2.1 meters, a requirement in many Australian states.

 

In the case of high ceilings, it may be necessary to use a longer downrod for the fan to ensure it's positioned at the right height for optimal air circulation. Most ceiling fans can be bought with an extension rod as an additional accessory. This extension rod typically replaces the standard downrod, extending the fan's drop length.

 

- For a 2.4m ceiling height, a low-profile or standard ceiling fan with no extension rod is usually sufficient.

 

- For a 2.7m ceiling height, a standard ceiling fan with no extension rod is typically suitable.

 

- If your ceiling is 3 meters or higher, a standard ceiling fan with a cut-to-size extension rod may be needed.

 

If your ceiling height exceeds 3 meters, you might want to consider purchasing an extension rod to ensure the fan is appropriately positioned.

 

HOW DO I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY CEILING FAN?

 

Maintaining your ceiling fans might not be at the top of your cleaning checklist, but these fixtures have an uncanny ability to attract dust. Cleaning ceiling fans may seem like a tedious task, involving the retrieval of a step stool and inevitably creating a dusty spectacle. However, it's essential to address this issue, particularly when the ceiling fan is in frequent use during the sweltering summer or chilly winter months to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

 

Here's how to clean a ceiling fan without spreading the dust everywhere.

 

The Pillow Method

 

Step 1: Prepare the workspace

Start by laying down a protective drop cloth and positioning your step stool, thus minimizing the impending mess.

 

Step 2: Slide each ceiling fan blade into the pillowcase

A simple pillowcase can be your secret weapon against the dusty blades of your ceiling fan. Slip a clean pillowcase over the end of a fan blade and secure the opening firmly around the blade using your fingers. Gently slide the pillowcase along the blade, efficiently trapping the dust within. Repeat this process for each blade. 

 

Step 3: Wipe the motor housing

Now, turn your attention to the motor housing. Employ a dry microfiber cloth or a duster to wipe the accumulated dust in this region.

 

Step 4:  Dispose of the gathered dust

To finish off your cleaning, venture outdoors with the loaded pillowcase. Inside out, give it a good shake to release the captured ceiling fan dust. Afterward, you can proceed to wash your pillowcase as you normally would, leaving your ceiling fan refreshed and your living space dust-free.

 


The Duster Method

 

If you can't easily reach your ceiling fan with a step stool or if you prefer using a duster, here's a method for cleaning it. Please be aware that when using this technique, dust from the ceiling fan is more likely to fall into your room. Therefore, make sure to have a drop cloth ready and be prepared to thoroughly dust and vacuum after cleaning.

 

Step 1: Prepare the ceiling fan for cleaning

Get your ceiling fan ready for cleaning by laying down a tarp or sheet. You might also want to think about wearing a hat or a kerchief to prevent dust from getting in your hair.

 

Step 2: Put your duster to use

Any duster equipped with a microfiber head and an extendable wand is great for tackling the dust on your ceiling fan blades. However, there are dusters specifically designed for ceiling fans, featuring a tightly curved end and microfiber shag that can effectively clean both sides of each blade as you glide it along. Just be mindful of falling dust as you work.

 

Step 3: Take care of the enclosure and the light fixture

An everyday extendable duster is perfect for reaching into the dusty nooks of the motor housing.

 

WHAT'S THE OPTIMAL DISTANCE BETWEEN A CEILING FAN AND THE FLOOR?

 

In Australia, the typical ceiling height hovers around 2.4 meters. When it comes to installing ceiling fans, it's advisable to position them with a minimum clearance of 2.1 meters from the floor to the fan blades and maintain a gap of at least 300mm from the ceiling.

 

If you're aware of the benefits of using ceiling fans all year round, you can halve the recommended clearance mentioned earlier. This will ensure your ceiling fan remains effective in both summer and winter. Adjust the fan blade height to strike the right balance, keeping it high enough for efficient winter operation and low enough for optimum summer performance.
