need help with ceiling fan requirements
Comments (3)First off, why must you have a fan here? This is only my opinion, but I feel ceiling fans have NO place in a kitchen, and even less of a place over an eating table. All they do in these areas is swirl around the air, and if you are cooking good luck keeping the place, and especially the fan itself, clean. That being said, many folks insist on putting fans in these places. The switching depends entirely on how he wired it. I would bet there is no way to control the fan and light separately from the wall, or even one from the wall and the other from a chain. You would need a feed AND switch leg in the ceiling to achieve this. There are remote controls for fans but I doubt a kitchen/DR area is a good place for a remote control to be floating around. Adding a light kit to a fan that is not approved for use on a fan is NOT a good idea. You will loose and listing of both pieces and depending on the fan there may not be a safe way to mount anything but a light made for that brand fan. Some of the newest Hunters are notorious for this....See MoreCan you help me find an arts and crafts style ceiling fan?
Comments (5)If you truly want something elegant and multi-functional you may just have to have one made. Here is a wrought iron chandy and ceiling fan in the link below. Scroll down to where it says: NEW! Fleur de Lis Six Light Wrought Iron Chandelier with Built-In Ceiling Fan. Yeah, I know, it looks like something that belongs in a Mediterranean decor BUT, use the *contact us* button to see if they have others in other styles coming up. It is hard to really recommend one for you space without any photos. Google around and be sure to check Esty. Here is a link that might be useful: Wrought Iron...See MoreCeiling fan with coffered ceiling?? Confused...
Comments (13)happyday321.....first, if you decide to do a fan, I would not do a light kit (kind of similar to the tacky look of a white ceiling fan imo). FWIW, we didn’t install any ceiling fans in our new home (I would rather have a nice chandelier), BUT, we’re in a rental now waiting to finish up our build, and there are ceiling fans here. One of them is in a vaulted ceiling (14 feet up), and I have to say that it does help to cool thngs off for those feeling a little flash of heat now and then :) Four cans in a 20x22 foot room seems a bit skimpy to me. I am by no means a lighting expert and the amount of cans I installed in my greatroom most “normal” people would consider completely overkill. The room is 20x20, and we have 11 cans (and that lighting doesn’t include the center chandelier :) ). Two cans are directed towards the fireplace wall so let’s not count those, so that would be 9 cans. If I remember correctly, my lighting guys recommended 6 in our greatroom. My ceilings are only 10 feet and yours are 12, so that needs to be taken into account as well....See Morebathroom ventilation fan with or without light?
Comments (20)Whether round or square, unobtrusive is what you want. Generally, you're not looking at your ceiling so something that fades into the background is preferable to a "design statement". More important is function. You want a fan that is properly sized (in terms of air changes per hour) for the room. When I did mine, I also paid a lot of attention to how noisy the fan was going to be. Anything over 2 sones is way too noisy for me. But because I was a new homeowner I allowed my HVAC guy to convince me that 2.2 sones would be fine. It isn't. Oh, and like everyone else has said and for the same reasons, separate fan and light....See MoreJennifer Hogan
