FAQ - Everything You Need to Know About Ceiling Fans

Metropolitan Electrical Contractors has all the information you need to know about ceiling fans and ceiling fan installation.

Are 3 or 4 blade ceiling fans better?

Fewer blades will create a faster spinning motion, and more blades will result in a quieter fan.

If you’re after a strong wind chill effect, opt for 3 blade fans. For a gentle breeze, 4 or even 5 blades is the best option.

What ceiling fan size do I need?

It might seem obvious, but small rooms require small fans, and large rooms require large fans.

Most lounge rooms and living rooms will be suited to 52” and 56” fans, while bedrooms will be suited to 48”and 52” fans. Rooms that are smaller or larger than the average will need a different sized fan as appropriate.

You’ll also need to consider your ceiling height. For ceilings over 2.7 metres high, opt for a ceiling fan with a longer downrod. If your ceiling is any lower than 2.4 metres, you’ll want to install a fan with a short downrod. For especially low ceilings you can get flush mounted ceiling fans.

Why does my ceiling fan shake?

Ceiling fans tend to shake or wobble because:

Fan blades or blade holders are imbalanced
Blades are misaligned
There’s excess dust
Loose blade holder mounting screws

You’ll want to find the cause and fix it promptly to avoid wearing down the parts. You can purchase fan balancing kits from your local hardware store, or contact your local electrician.
