There are many obvious reasons for needing a ceiling fan. Most often, it’s because your old ceiling fan isn’t worth fixing. But there are many other, non-obvious reasons to need a ceiling fan, and Steve has heard over 20 years of excuses.

The Best Ceiling Fan Blades for Keeping the Bugs Away (and everything else)

May 19th, 2017

I was just visiting my Mother for Mother’s Day. Everyone else went on vacation to some island, and that means I got to go to Texas to take care of Mom.

I’m kidding. I love my Mom, she’s a wonderful, beautiful woman. Texas wasn’t bad, vacation was good, and my Mom was great.

You know what’s not great? Texas bugs. Some of those flies could down a Cessna 152.

One night I wanted to cook some of my legendary barbecue for Momma. She has an outdoor ceiling fan. Travesty of travesties, her Ceiling Fan Expert Son hadn’t made sure she had the right ceiling fan or ceiling fan blades to keep the bugs away!

So let me help you fix that, Mom. And everyone else.

First of all - and this may seem silly - but it’s important to get a ceiling fan with blades! Many of our competito

After months of planning, listening to customers, trying new things, testing, re-testing, and testing more, we launched the new HansenWholesale.com.

Though Hansen Wholesale has been a successful company since 1976, HansenWholesale.com had been around in various iterations since 1994. It was the culmination of a lot of work, testing, and constant improvement.

But, it was aging. The platform was old, and it seemed everything was taking too long.

So we opted for a complete redesign. The first thing you will probably notice is that the new site is considerably faster - up to 5 times faster. And that start makes everything better.

It also works better on phones and tablets. It is what we call in the trade a responsive design - a shift that was overdue. So let's have a look around. I'll show you how easy it is to find everything.

Just like the old site, the page is very long.

When Shopping Ceiling Fans Online, Always Call!

May 5th, 2017

During my years at Hansen Wholesale, I’ve prevented a lot of catastrophic mistakes of people shopping ceiling fans online. I’ve also heard from customers who didn’t call first and then wished they had. A lot of people shop ceiling fans online, but few know to call. I always do my best to help you get what you really want and need.

I’m an expert based here in the United States. I’m available over the phone (extension 110) to help you get exactly the right fan for the best price.

Many of our phone calls come from customers who simply got the wrong thing. They bought a great product, but it’s not right for their situation.

This isn’t their fault! They don’t know. They’re not a ceiling fan expert.

I am. I am a ce
