Ceiling Fan Quiz

Choosing a ceiling fan is a big decision that will dictate your home's cooling and lighting for the next 5 to 10 years! We've compiled this short quiz to help you narrow down your options!

1. Lighting or No Lighting?

Currently, ceiling fans are available with no lighting, with a bulb base for traditional bulbs, or with advanced LED light kits. Will a traditional bulb do the trick for you? Or would you enjoy the fine-tuned control over light color temperature and brightness that an LED light kit provides?

Options:

A: No Lighting/Bulb Lighting

B: LED Light Kit

2. Outdoor or Indoor?

Some ceiling fans are built solely for indoor use while outdoor ceiling fans are damp-rated for safe installation and use in covered outdoor spaces. Are you planning on installing your ceiling fan in indoor spaces only, like bedrooms or living rooms? Or will you be installing it outdoors on your porch or patio?

Options:

A: Indoor Only

B: Outdoor and Indoor

3. Regular or Energy Star Rated?

Energy Star ratings are awarded to products that have been tested and confirmed to work at a certain level of energy efficiency. Are you looking for an Energy Star-rated ceiling fan to reduce your home's energy consumption and light bills? Or will a regular ceiling fan meet your needs?

Options:

A: Regular

B: Energy Star Rated

4. Winter & Summer Functionality?

Some ceiling fans are designed with reversible motors so that you can switch the direction of the airflow for maximum comfort in the winter or summer (clockwise for winter and counterclockwise for summer). Are you planning to use your ceiling fan in the summer and winter, or just in the summer?

Options:

A: Just for Summer

B: Winter and Summer

5. Average CFM or High-Speed CFM?

CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and refers to the velocity at which air flows. Standard rooms require an average CFM of 1,600 - 4,500, while larger rooms require a CFM of 2,300 - 6,500. Are you looking for super high air velocity to quickly cool wide spaces or will an average CFM suffice?

Options:

A: Average CFM

B: High-Speed CFM

6. Classic Control or Smart Control?

Classic control options consist of the standard pull-chain and wall switch, while smart control options include remote control, voice control, and smart app control. Are you a fan of the classic control? Or, do you prefer the flexibility of smart control options and smart home automation?

Options:

A: Classic Control

B: Smart Control

7. AC Motor or DC Motor?

AC motors are known to be stable and silent, while more advanced DC motors are ultra-quiet, run at unrivaled speeds, and work with increased energy efficiency. Are you looking for a more advanced DC motor or a standard AC motor?

Options:

A: AC Motor

B: DC Motor

8. Traditional or Modern Color?

Polished wood fan blades have been the standard of ceiling fan design. As décor standards evolve, ceiling fans and blades are being created in more modern finishes and colors, from clear, to marble, to matte black. Are you looking for traditional ceiling fan colors or more modern color options?

Options:

A: Traditional Colors

B: Modern Colors

If it isn't broken, why fix it? You prefer simple designs and functionality over complex features; you're not impressed by fans with high CFMs. You prefer the classic look of polished wood, incandescent bulbs, and elegant blades, which will fit in well with your traditional indoor décor. You don't like worrying about all the high-tech stuff when classic wall control is just as effective. The best ceiling fan for you is the:
