Ceiling Fan Installation

Outdoor Ceiling Fan

Outdoor ceiling fans are becoming more popular in Aussie homes as they provide the only effective appliance for keeping cool outside. It’s all thanks to the simple yet innovative way in which they operate.

Ceiling fans don’t cool a room or space like an air conditioner. Instead, they create a wind chill effect. The fast airflow helps lower skin and body temperature, making the heat feel more bearable. So they can help while entertaining on the back deck.

Outdoor ceiling fans are further enhanced by IP ratings, adding protection against the elements with waterproof seals and resistance to dust, dirt, and moisture. Outdoor fans are often crafted from aluminium and ABS, a tougher plastic resistant to heat.

Have a chat with our team regarding outdoor ceiling fans, and we can advise on the best positioning and blade size to meet your needs.

Keep cool outdoors. Contact Metropolitan today!

Install Ceiling Fan Cost

Ceiling fan installation cost varies from job to job depending on many factors, including the height of the roof, position of the wall switch and current state of your meter box. Get in touch with our team, and we’ll send out a qualified electrician to provide a fixed price quote for the work at hand.

Should you accept the quote, we can commence the install right away or begin sourcing your new fans immediately. During fan installation, our electricians will:

Ensure the placement of your fan is correct for the room and your preferences
Install the fan correctly so that the fan operates quietly and is well balanced
Conceal wiring and upgrade meter box if required
Meet proper Australian standards and provide electrical compliance certificates
Give advice if installation requires additional work

There are many benefits to installing ceiling fans. If you equip ones that change direction, there’s potential for them to create updrafts in winter, pulling cold air away and circulating the warm air trapped at the ceiling. This helps make a room feel warmer and means the fans can be used year round.

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, 4, 5 or 6-blade ceiling fans better?

Traditional 3 and 4-blade fans require less energy for rotation but create a stronger wind chill effect and are slightly louder.

5 and 6-blade fans are aesthetically pleasing and quieter but can consume more energy for less wind chill. The best fan is ultimately the one that meets your requirements.

What ceiling fan size do I need?

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

Bedrooms: Ceiling fan diameter – 80cm – 120cm
Living rooms: Ceiling fan diameter – 121cm – 200cm
Outdoor areas: Ceiling fan diameter – 201cm – 300cm+

Do ceiling fans work on high ceilings?

The ceiling fan suits very high ceilings, but you will need to consider using an extension rod. A fan will do little if it’s too far from occupants. an extension rod brings the fan lower to just above head height to provide the best possible airflow and wind chill effect.
