The Ceiling Fan Buying Guide



First you'll need to determine what blade width you'll need based on the square footage of your room.
Here's how to measure the blade span of ceiling fans.

 BLADE SPAN: this is the diameter created by the ceiling fan's blades when it's rotating
With an odd number of blades, measure the distance from the center of the fan to the blade tip. Then multiply that number by 2.With an even number of blades, you will have to measure the distance from one blade tip to it's opposing blade tip.
RECOMMENDED BLADE SPAN
room length x room width = square feet



Hanging your ceiling fan at the appropriate height ensures that friends and family members won’t hit their heads on low hanging ceiling fans. It also guarantees that they'll be able to feel the airflow the fan produces since fans cool people, not rooms. There should be a 7-foot minimum distance between your ceiling fan’s blades and the floor. If you have low ceilings, or if you have regular size ceilings and you just happen to be really tall, install a low profile ceiling fan.  
The right size ceiling fan will do more than just keep you cool, it can also save you money. Ceiling fans only cost pennies to run compared to air conditioners, allowing you to increase the temperature on your thermostat and save money on your monthly electric bill.
Selecting the right size ceiling fan for your room secures the fan's performance and longevity as well as the comfort and safety of the room occupants. A small ceiling fan in a large room will have to work twice as hard to cool you off, which will result in the motor burning out quickly. A large ceiling fan in a small room will create an uncomfortable amount of airflow. Unless you like replacing your ceiling fan every few months or feeling as if you’re in a tornado, choose a ceiling fan that is proportionate to the room size.
