If you are looking for a sleek and powerful outdoor ceiling fan that is designed to handle harsh invironments, move enough air to keep you cool and ward of pesky bugs...while not costing a small fortune to operate, then the Cyclone from Monte Carlo is your fan. The powerful Cyclone motor moves over 6600 CFM, which may not mean anything to you, but when compared to other fans, it simply moves a lot of air. But what is even more exciting about this fan is that it has is an Energy Star qualified ceiling fan, which means it is both powerful and efficient. Plus, since the Cyclone is not just rated for use in damp locations, it is rated for Wet locations as well, which is the ultimate choice for outdoor ceiling fans since you can leave it out in the rain without any worries. Not only that, when you want to clean it, you can simply hose it down. It is no wonder that the Cyclone is among our top 5 best selling outdoor ceiling fans ever.

Minimum Ceiling Height Requirement: This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.14" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 94.14" then you may need to add a flushmount adapter or close to ceiling dowrod if one is available for the fan (see below). If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives.

How long of a downrod do I need?

Building codes require ceiling fans to be installed with the blades no lower than 7 feet from the floor in residential applications (industrial fans may require more distnace). The closer you are to the fan blades, the more cooling effect you will feel, so 7 feet is the optimal distance from the floor for most residential ceiling fans to get the most benefit. Any light fixture you choose to add to this fan is allowed to be less than 7 feet from the floor, so just make sure you have enough headroom to walk under it if need be.

The standard size downrod for the Montecarlo Cyclone ceiling fan is 4", which puts the blades 10.14" from the ceiling. Here are the Minimum Ceiling Heights required for each downrod available for this fan. Each length will put the fan blades 7 feet from the floor, so if you want your fan blades higher than 7 feet, choose a shorter downrod to fit your needs.

• 12" Downrod for 8.51' ceilings (blades 18.14" from ceiling)
• 18" Downrod for 9.01' ceilings (blades 24.14" from ceiling)
• 24" Downrod for 9.51' ceilings (blades 30.14" from ceiling)
• 36" Downrod for 10.51' ceilings (blades 42.14" from ceiling)
• 48" Downrod for 11.51' ceilings (blades 54.14" from ceiling)
• 60" Downrod for 12.51' ceilings (blades 66.14" from ceiling)
• 72" Downrod for 13.51' ceilings (blades 78.14" from ceiling)

About Angled Ceilings

This fan will hange from flat ceilings and ceilings angled up to 30 degrees using the hardware that comes in the box. If your ceiling is over 30 degrees, you can by an Angled Ceiling Adapter that will allow you to install the fan on a ceiling angled up to 45.

Ceiling Angle Calculator

Rise =

Inches 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

How to measure Rise:

Rise is the vertical distance your ceiling rises for every horizontal foot. Rise per foot is called Pitch. A roof with a 4/12 pitch rises 4 inches vertically for every 12 inches horizontal.

Our calculator uses roof pitch to calculate the angle of your ceiling. Since we already know the horizontal measurement is 12", we only need you to enter in the vertical rise to make the calculation.

To measure the rise of your ceiling: Hold a 12" ruler ruler horizontally (using a level) with one corner touching the ceiling. Then take measure the vertical distance from the other end of the ruler to the ceiling. This is the rise. Select your dimensions in the form above to calculate the angle of your ceiling. Most ceiling fans (except for hugger fans) can hang on ceilings angled up to 30 degrees without the need for an angled ceiling adapter. 30 degrees is slightly less than a 7/12 pitch. Most angled ceiling adapters will allow your fan to hang up to 45 degress...which is a 12/12 pitch.

How does the Montecarlo Cyclone Compare to the Average Ceiling Fan?

Quality = 5 (average is 3)
With a Quality Rating of 5, this fan is among the finest quality ceiling fans made. It will run smooth and quiet without wobbling or making noise and you can let it run 24 hours a day for years on end without any worries of the motor burning out.

CFM Airflow = 6672 (average is 5755)
6672 CFM is a good amount of aiflow and is above average. We highly recommend ceiling fans that move at least this amount of air in order to provide enough wind chill effect to keep you cool. Fans like this will allow you to raise your thermostat by several degrees, which will help you save additional money on your cooling bills.

Efficiency = 94 (average is about 76)
An Efficiency Rating of 94 is pretty close to average. Efficiency is defined by the EPA as the amount of airflow a fan produces (CFM) divided by the amount of electricity (Watts) it uses on high speed without any lights on. Efficiency is less important than Airflow because more CFMs allow you to raise your thermostat higher...which is where you will save the most energy. Efficiency becomes more important if you expect to operate several ceiling fans at the same time. (see calculator below)

Watts = 71 (average is about 76)
71 Watts per hour is pretty close to average, so it will cost about the same to operate this fan as the average ceiling fan. Use the calculator below to estimate just how much it will cost to operate this fan in "Your home".

How to use our Ceiling Fan Cost Calculator

Basic Help: Our cost usage calculator shows you how much it will cost to operate the Montecarlo Cyclone ceiling fan. By default, the calculator assumes that you will leave your fan running 24 hours a day for the entire year (which is not very likely to be accurate), so you will want to change the hours and days to be more in line with how often you think you will use the fan. The calculator also defaults to the average cost per kWh of electricity in the USA. You can change this to use the average cost of electricity in your state, although this may vary widely from city to city. For the most accurate calculation, manually enter the actual cost/kWh shown on your utility bill. The wattage of the fan is already included (if it is known), but you can change it if you wish to see how the wattage affects the cost.

Fans with lights: Calculations are performed without lights by default. If you add a light fixture to the fan, you can add the wattage of the fixture to the wattage of the fan to perform calculations with the lights on. In some cases, when a light fixture of known wattage is included with the fan, the option to calculate with or without lights will show automatically. The light fixture on a ceiling fan almost always uses substantially more electricity than the fan motor, so it is very important to take that into account when comparing the overall operational cost between various ceiling fans

CFM -vs- Efficiency: CFM is KING! It is more important to buy a fan with higher CFMs than it is to buy a fan that uses less electricity. The highest wattage consumed by the most energy guzzling ceiling fan on our website is about 120 watts. So if you input 120 as the fan watts and run our calculator, you will see that it still costs less than 2 cents per hour to operate the most energy guzzling ceiling fan in most states. You will get more savings with a higher CFM fan than a lower Wattage fan because if your fan moves more air you will be able to raise your thermostat to a higher degree. Raising your thermostat by 10 degrees can save you up to 40% on your cooling bills. Choosing a less powerful fan because it uses less electricity can be the worst mistake you can make because it will not cool you off enough to allow you to raise your thermostat to a high enough level without becoming uncomfortable. This is why CFM is so much more important to consider than Wattage.

The average kWh by state used by our calculator is derived from information published by the US Government Department of Energy as of May 2009. Your actual cost may differ from this. Again, refer to your utility bill for your most recent kWh cost.

"NA" means that the data was not available at the time this information was published or the manufacturer simply does not test for the data that is missing.
