Damp Rated Outdoor Ceiling Fans | Wet Rated Outdoor Ceiling Fans | All Outdoor Ceiling Fans

Outdoor ceiling fans are made differently than ceiling fans that are not rated for outdoors because they need to handle moisture. Every outdoor fan must be tested and UL listed to more stringent standards than indoor ceiling fans. There are 2 basic types of outdoor ceiling fans. Those that are UL listed and approved for use in Wet Locations and those that are rated for Damp Locations.

Damp rated fans must be able to handle damp locations such as under a covered porch, patio, or for an indoor swimming pool. Damp rated outdoor fans cannot be installed where they will be directly hit by rain. Wet rated outdoor ceiling fans can be installed in uncovered areas with direct exposure to rain such as in a gazebo or uncovered patio. All outdoor fans can be used indoors as well, and sometimes they are a great choice for their unique style, and in some cases, their superior performance.

When shopping for an outdoor ceiling fan, you need to consider what you want the fan to accomplish. If the area that you are trying to keep cool is directly above a seating area and you do not expect to need much breeze, then the average models will be sufficient. However, what many have found is that the higher quality models with larger motors will not only keep you more comfortable during those hot summer days, they will also keep the flies away, so this is something to consider when you make your purchase.

The outdoor ceiling fans that will move the most air will have an airflow rating of 4 or 5. These are the models we recommend the most.

If you need help with your selection, please do not hesitate to call and talk to our ceiling fan experts. They are quite familiar with the various outdoor fans that are available and can tell you what the differences are and help you decide what is best for you.
