Ceiling fans are conventional items used to cool you off. You’d find them in any and every households and offices. However, the trend is changing and the Split Air-conditioners are replacing them, making them obsolete. But if you are persistent on possessing a ceiling fan for economic reasons, then you should keep in mind some essential factors.

One of the essential factors considered while purchasing a ceiling fan is the size of your room. The fans work by pushing a fixed amount of cubic feet of air per minute, i.e. CFM. This depends on the motor capacity.

Other consideration is the fan blade span. A 100sqft area of room should have a fan with a blade span ranging from 30-45inches. A 400sqft would require a range of 50-54inches. Evidently, the larger the room, the bigger the blade span required. Another valid feature is the blade pitch and the number of blades attached.
