Before You Buy 

A ceiling fan is a must-have device for your home, especially in the summer. There are many things to consider when shopping for ceiling fans. Here are some of the things to consider before you purchase a ceiling fan for your home: 

• Location: Where in your home will you install the ceiling fan — what room, indoors or outdoors? 
• Budget: How much can you afford to spend on your ceiling fan?
• Lighting: Do you want a modern ceiling fan with lights or not?
• Size: What size modern ceiling fan do you need? 
• Features: What features do you need for your ceiling fan? 
• Style: What style and finishing do you want for your ceiling fan? 
• Energy Efficient: Do you want an energy-efficient ceiling fan? 
• Airflow: How much airflow do you need from your ceiling fan? 

Features to Consider

Modern ceiling fans come with many features. In addition, each fan offers various features, so it is essential to know which features you want before shopping for your ceiling fan.

• Motor Size. Not all fans have the same motor size, which is the most critical part of the fan. Make sure to shop for a fan with a premium motor fan for optimal airflow. 
• Blade Pitch. Blade pitch varies by fan style and design. Fans with a higher blade pitch offer more airflow through the home. 
• Remote Control. Some ceiling fans can be operated using a remote control instead of the pull chain or wall switch. 
• Light Kits. Light kits are available to add to ceiling fans, providing light to your space. The type of lights you choose will vary depending on the kind of ceiling fan you purchase.  
• Ceiling Medallions. Some ceiling fans come with ceiling medallions to add a modern design element where the fan attaches to the ceiling. 
• Installation Kits. Some installation kits with modern ceiling fans provide an extendable rod, allowing you to change the fan's height based on the ceiling height. Additionally, some kits include materials to install a fan on a slanted ceiling. 

Types of Modern Ceiling Fans

Modern ceiling fans are functional and stylish, enhancing your contemporary decor. There are many ceiling fans, making it possible to select the fan that fits your household cooling and style needs. 

1. Standard Modern Ceiling Fans. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type of ceiling fans used in households, and the modern style matches contemporary design elements. These ceiling fans have four or five blades and a built-in light fixture. Standard ceiling fans come in an assortment of finishes, including brushed nickel, pewter, black, and white. 
2. Low Profile Modern Ceiling Fans. A low-profile ceiling fan is installed close to the ceiling. This type of fan is for rooms with low ceiling clearance (less than eight feet), so the fan can still sit seven feet above the floor. Though these fans are not the best for airflow, they will get the job done and move cool or heated air throughout your room. Low-profile ceiling fans are also known as hugger fans or flush mount ceiling fans. 
3. Energy Star-Rated Modern Ceiling Fans. Energy Star-rated ceiling fans come in standard and low-profile options. Additionally, these types of fans help save money on heating and cooling bills. In addition to providing savings for heating and cooling bills, Energy Star ceiling fans use less energy to operate than standard fans. 
4. Dual Motor Modern Ceiling Fans. Dual motor ceiling fans have two motors and are attached to two horizontal rods. Each rod has an individual fan and can be adjusted independently of the other. The dual fans provide extra benefits for airflow in a space because they can be set to circulate air in a specific direction. 
5. Damp and Wet Modern Ceiling Fans. When you want to add some additional airflow to your outdoor space, you should select a damp and wet modern ceiling fan. These types of fans are capable of being in humid, damp, and wet conditions. Outdoor ceiling fans are perfect for covered porches and sunrooms. 

How to Choose A Modern Ceiling Fan

Shopping for a modern ceiling fan takes time to find the perfect design with the features you want and one that provides the ideal airflow to your room. 

• Location. Decide where you intend to install the ceiling fan, such as in a bedroom, living room, or outdoor patio. Knowing where the fan will be installed can help determine which type of fan you choose. 
• Ceiling Height. The ceiling height can affect which fan you choose. You need a hugger ceiling fan for low ceilings, and for higher ceilings, you need an extendable rod to lower the fan. 
• Electricity. Electricity is needed to operate your ceiling fans. First, make sure there is enough power to run the fan. Additionally, select a ceiling fan kit that is easy to install. If you're not familiar with installing ceiling fans, consider hiring an electrician to install them for you. 
• Quality. Look for a high-quality fan for your home. Though higher quality fans cost more, they provide better airflow. When compared to high-quality fans, poor quality fans do not circulate the air as well. In most cases, the extra money you pay for a high-quality modern ceiling fan is well worth it, and you receive value for every penny spent.
