Which Brand of Ceiling Fans is the Best?

If you've been shopping around, you've probably found that some retailers will swear that one particular brand is better than another (usually because they have a warehouse full of that brand and need to sell their inventory). The truth is that each ceiling fan brand has some high quality models and some less desirable models to choose from. That's because they each make various quality ranges of ceiling fans to fit into different buyers needs or budget constraints. So the top of the line ceiling fans from each brand are fairly comparable (with a few exceptions), and the bottom of the line are pretty similar as well.

Ceiling Fans Question - Minka Aire Model F563SP

View model F563SP
F563SP - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/minkaaire/model.asp?ProdNo=F563SP

I can't tell what color blades come on this brushed steel fan - Minka Aire Supra 44 SP Ceiling F563. Does it also include the light? thanks!

Answer: As stated in the description below the main picture of the fan the Brushed Steel Supra SP comes with silver colored blades and the light fixture as shown in the picture. You can choose different blades if you wish, but they are optional and extra.

Ceiling Fans Question Model CF574-WH

http://www.hansenwholesale.com/aboutus.asp

Please recommend a damp or wet rated outdoor low profile white ceiling fan that moves enough air to reduce bug activity that does not have a light that is white. Thanks.

Answer: I would highly recommend either the Minka Aire Concept II Wet or the Emerson Curva Sky. Both of these come with a built-in light fixture, but they also include a bottom cap that allows you to install the fan without the light. These fans move more air than other low profile fans. Keep in mind that low profile fans cannot move as much air as a fan that hangs from a downrod simply because the blades are too close to the ceiling to allow the same amount of unrestricted airflow a fan that hangs from a downrod is capable of producing. So unless your ceiling is lower than 8 feet, I might have other recommendations for you that will keep bugs away better if you use a downrod. Otherwise, if your ceiling is lower than 8 feet, these 2 fans will do the best job.

Ceiling Fans Question - Emerson Model HF948BS

View model HF948BS
HF948BS - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/emerson/model.asp?ProdNo=HF948BS

your add states that this fan is a high speed industrial type. I am considering it for my home.These fan controls slow the fan down to a safe speed so it can be used in the home.Is this correct? I do have a vaulted ceiling where I intend to install it if I purchase your product. Please respond. The fan is an Emerson48 heat- HF948BS

Answer: Industrial fans such as the Emerson HF948BS have metal blades and are NOT allowed for use in residential applications regardless of what type of control you have or what height the fan is hung. This is according to national building code standards. For a similar style fan that does not have metal blades and IS rated for use indoors I would recommend the Emerson Loft.

Ceiling Fans Question

http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/emerson/fansearch.asp?sbFanGroup=&sbBrand=EM&sbStyle=&sbT...

Can an outdoor fan be installed indoors?

Answer: Outdoor ceiling fans can certainly be installed indoors. But indoor fans cannot be installed outdoors. Outdoor fans have features that make them capable of handling more moisture than fans designed for indoors, so they are made to higher standards when it comes to certain components. Outdoor fans are either damp rated or wet rated. Damp rated fans can handle excessive moisture and are used in covered outdoor areas where they are not directly exposed to rain. They are also recommended indoors when installed in bathrooms and laundry rooms where there is a lot of moisture. Wet rated can handle direct exposure to rain, so the motor casings are better sealed than damp rated fans. Both types of outdoor fans use stainless steel screws and other hardware that can handle excess moisture. The wiring is coated differently and made to stricter standards than necessary for indoor applications. So indoor fans run the risk of shorting out or failing prematurely if they are installed outdoors. Conversely, for those who live close to the ocean or in humid climates, we strongly recommended that outdoor fans be used indoors. Bottom line is, outdoor fans are totally appropriate for indoor applications.

F519-PN - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/minkaaire/model.asp?ProdNo=F519-PN

I have already purchased a white Minka Aire Concept II 52 from you and would like to buy another. Please can you tell me the difference between the brushed nickel and polished nickel finishes. It is difficult to tell on the website but is the polished nickel a lighter more reflective finish? I want to place this in the kitchen and try to match as closely as possible to the stainless steel appliances and other light fixtures we have. Thanks. David.

Answer: Brushed nickel is much more like a stainless steel finish since it has a brushed finish. Polished Nickel is a shiny polished chrome finish...much more mirror like. So it sounds to me like brushed nickel is definitely the correct choice for your kitchen.

5CY60WH - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/montecarlo/model.asp?ProdNo=5CY60WH

I am looking for the best outdoor fans for an oceanside home so salt air and rust are issues. Any metal on any fan will rust as we have seen. Please advise if this is the right fan for our outdoor open porches at our beach house or if another model would be better. Thank you!

Answer: The Monte Carlo Cyclone is an excellent choice for salt air environments since it is rated for wet locations and uses stainless steel components. It does not have any exposed metal parts that will rust like some fans in metallic finishes. For other choices, please read the paragraph on our Outdoor Ceiling Fans page titled "Salt Air Environments:". If you search our site using some of the suggestions listed there you will find similar fans that are equally or better suited for salt air locations. You may also want to give us a call so we can help you find the best ceiling fan for your salt air location. Call: 1-800-201-1193.

Ceiling Fans Question - Hunter Model 23856

View model 23856
23856 - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/hunter/model.asp?ProdNo=23856

is oil already in 23856

Answer: The Hunter Original ceiling fans do NOT come with the oil already in the oil bath. The oil is in the box in a tube and needs to be added after the fan has been is installed. The way the fan is designed, the oil would spill out if it was put in at the factory. A word of caution...when removing a hunter original fan from the ceiling, always keep it in an upright position, otherwise the oil will in fact spill out and make quite a mess.

whe4re are these ceiling fans, or fan motors made? mexico? if not, which country, thank you, i prefer not to buy "made in china", whenever possible.

Answer: Virtually ALL ceiling fans are made in China...including the Emerson fans and motors. I understand your desire to NOT purchase products made in China, I have the same concern. Unfortunately, there are simply no good choices for fans that are not made in China, with a few exceptions found in the above below. Although I am fairly certain that quality is not your only concern or reason for not wanting to buy a fan that is made in China, I can assure you that the Emerson Carrera Grande ceiling fans are top of the line and built to last a lifetime with superb quiet performance and maximum airflow. They are among the best ceiling fans on the market today.

Ceiling Fans Question - Casablanca Model C45G45B

View model C45G45B
C45G45B - http://www.hansenwholesale.com/ceilingfans/casablanca/model.asp?ProdNo=C45G45B

Can I change the halogen to CFL bulb? Enough room? I may need an adapter.

Answer: You cannot change the halogen bulb to a CFL bulb, there is not enough room nor was it designed for use with CFL bulbs. The reason Casablanca uses a halogen bulb instead of a fluorescent bulb is that the halogen is dimmable. The DC Stealth competes directly with the Emerson Midway Eco, which is currently the top selling DC ceiling fan on the market. The Emerson Midway Eco uses a Fluorescent bulb which is NOT dimmable. So for consumers who really want the ability to dim the lights, they are more likely to purchase the Stealth. So if you prefer to have a fluorescent light, you may want to consider the Emerson Midway Eco. Here is a link to it on our site: Emerson Midway Eco
