What Size Ceiling Fan Do I Require?

By Mark Berger 

So, what size fan do I need? I am installing into a room that is this size by this size. What do I do? I don't know what size is required.


This is a common problem when attempting to determine the proper size of fan for the room you are looking to install into. You may be looking to install in a large hall, dining room, living room or other. The size of the fan you need to install is gauged upon the span of the blades on your fan. The bigger the blade, the more air that particular fan can move around the room you have chosen.

If you want a really big fan to move a lot of air, look at purchasing an industrial or commercial grade appliance. These fans are built for the sole purpose of moving a large volume of air around. They are perfect in shops, factories, and warehouse environments where the air can become warm, stale and muggy. Keeping your employees cool is an important thing - it will help to mantain their productivity. If they're extremely hot all the time, it'll be difficult to get them to do their day to day jobs.

The span of each blade is important. You want a fan that moves enough air around to cool the entire room. Also, you want to avoid putting a fan that will move too much air around. Below we have recommendations on which fan you should install into your home, based on the size of the room you're installing in. These recommendations are based on the blade span of the fan - the length of each fan blade. The larger blades will move more air and thus, are to be installed into larger rooms.

Usually fans don't go larger then 56" in blade span. However, some industrial and commercial fans can have blade spans up to and including 60."
Small rooms - Rooms that are smaller then 64 square feet (8' x 8') should utilize a fan with a 32" blade span.
Medium sized rooms - If your room is up to 144 square feet (12' x 12') then utilize a fan with a 42" or 44" blade span.
Large rooms - Rooms that are up to 225 square feet (15' x 15') should utilize a fan with a blade span of 50", 52" and etc. up to a max of 56".
