Ceiling Fan Styles and Types
Choosing the right ceiling fans for your home is probably best approached by first selecting an appropriate style or type because you certainly want your ceiling fan to fit in with your decor. So each of our ceiling fans is grouped by style or type. We have also subcategorized some of our fans into Fan Themes which are listed further below on this page.
If your fan will be installed outdoors or in a damp or wet location, you are going to want a fan that is UL listed for use outdoors. Damp rated fans cannot be exposed directly to rain, whereas wet rated fans can. A covered patio would normally use a damp rated fan, where a gazebo would use a wet rated fan. You can use a wet rated fan in a damp location, but you cannot use a damp rated fan in a wet location. You can also use any outdoor rated fan indoors...as many people do simply because they like a particular style. View All of our Outdoor Fans here!.
Also, unlike other websites, most of the fans we supply can be further customized to fit your taste by selecting from various motor and blade finish combinations and light fixture options. You'll also find various remote controls or wall controls as well as downrods and angled ceiling adapters for most of our fans. We are here to help you select your fan, so please do not hesitate to call.

How do you know which ceiling fans are the best?
Not all ceiling fans move the same amount of air. As a matter of fact, the difference between various models is quite dramatic. Some ceiling fans have large powerful fan motors with a steep blade pitch while others have much smaller motors with blades that are nearly flat. So ceiling fans with the most powerful motors will move substantially more air. The reason there is such differences is simply because some ceiling fans are made to be inexpensive, while others are made to meet the needs of those who will spend the money for something better.
Hansen Wholesale was the very first site to create a ceiling fan rating system that enables you to determine the performance leval of any ceiling fan at a glance. We have rated all of the fans on our site from 1 to 5 with 5 being the ultimate best. In general, the ceiling fans that have the most powerful motors and steepest blade pitch get the top ratings, although there are other factors we take into account in our rating system that affect overall performance.
Ceiling Fan Airflow Rating Chart...

We always recommend fans with an airflow rating of at least 3, but you will be the most satisfied with top of the line ceiling fans that have a rating of 4 or 5. Ceiling fans with the highest ratings will usually cost more due to the hi-performance parts used to make them, so it's possible your budget will dictate how comfortable you end up feeling.
