Choosing a ceiling fan

Ceiling fan features
If you’re unsure what’s out there, our team is here to provide you with advice drawn from our product knowledge and years of experience installing, removing and repairing ceiling fans in Sydney. We know all about airflow, which features work for certain scenarios and the brands to avoid.
There are many functions and usability features to choose from:
- Switch or dial-operated
- Portable remote control
- Interchangeable blades
- Lighting component (ceiling fan with light installation)
- Reversible airflow
- Smart features (app controlled)
Ceiling fans usually have 3-6 speed settings. Models with reversible airflow can be used for keeping cool or warm (dual-function) by reversing the blades to change the direction of airflow, to push rising heat downward in winter.
Smart ceiling fans
‘Smart’ ceiling fans can connect to wifi and be controlled using an app, or integrated into your smart home. Control your fan remotely, set routines using timers and schedules and optimise your energy usage according to your lifestyle. ‘Smart’ ceiling fans are compatible with most smartphones, Apple App Store® and Google Play Store.
The look and decor
Your ceiling fan doesn’t have to be boring, it can fit with your decor. Choose from heritage, modern, traditional or industrial styles – depending on your decor theme and taste. You may wish to consider your window coverings, fixtures and paintwork.
Brass and timber ceiling fans are popular in heritage settings while matte black and brushed stainless steel metals can look great in modern and industrial spaces. It’s important to note that some materials are suitable for indoor ceiling fans only and some metals require anti-corrosive paint in coastal environments.
Placement for ceiling fan installation
Our technicians will provide advice on the appropriate size and the best positioning for your ceiling fan installation to get the best airflow for your space. They will look at the size and shape of your space and also your ceiling height. There are 3, 4 and 5 blade models of ceiling fans and models for indoor and outdoor settings.
- Indoor
- Outdoor covered area
- Outdoor wet rated
- Outdoor damp rated
- Coastal
It’s important to purchase a ceiling fan that is appropriately rated for the environment it will be placed in (for example, weather resistant models in outdoor environments). You should also consider the height of your ceiling fan in terms of safety. Extension rods are available for high ceilings.
Airflow and performance
Residential ceiling fans range from 48-56 inches in size with 48 inch being a popular size for indoor residential use. In terms of size and performance, a 48 inch (1200mm) 3-blade indoor ceiling fan with a 60w motor can provide airflow coverage of around 10,032 m3/hr. A larger 4-blade 56 inch (1400mm) ceiling fan with 80w motor can provide coverage of around 13,551 m³/hr. You can check the coverage area of a ceiling fan installation yourself by measuring your space.
Ceiling fan installation
A residential ceiling fan installation is normally completed in around an hour, however it can take longer depending on the complexity of the job and if any additional electrical work is required.

Does an electrician need to install a ceiling fan?
Most models of ceiling fans are hard wired, which means that they are connected to the electrical system of the building (your home or commercial premises). Playing with wiring and live electricity is not only gambling with your safety, but may also void your insurance. In Australia, it’s the law that all hard-wired electrical appliances be installed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
