FAQs

Ceiling Fans — Frequently Asked Questions

What size ceiling fan do I need?

Fan blade span should match the room size: 900–1050mm for rooms up to 10m²; 1100–1300mm for 10–20m²; 1400mm+ for larger rooms. Fan blades should be at least 2.1m above the floor for safe airflow.

Can a ceiling fan be installed where there is no existing light fitting?

Yes, but it requires running new wiring and possibly installing a new switch, which requires a licensed electrician. We run concealed wiring where possible and match your existing switchplates for a tidy finish.

What is the difference between AC and DC ceiling fans?

DC fans use up to 70% less energy than traditional AC fans, are significantly quieter, and offer more speed settings (typically six). They are also compatible with smart home remotes. The upfront cost is higher but the running cost savings quickly offset this in Queensland's climate.

Do ceiling fans work in reverse?

Yes — most fans have a reverse switch. In summer, run anticlockwise (from below) to create a downward cooling breeze. In winter, run clockwise to push warm air from the ceiling back down, reducing heating costs.

Can I install an outdoor ceiling fan?

Outdoor ceiling fans must be rated for the exposure level (typically IP45 or IP55 for covered outdoor areas). Standard indoor fans are not safe for outdoor use. We install outdoor-rated fans with weatherproof cabling and switches.

Can the ceiling fan be on the same switch as the light?

We recommend separate switches for the fan and light for maximum convenience. We can add a double switch where only a single exists. Remote or smart controls are another option that avoids additional wall wiring.

How long does a ceiling fan installation take?

Installing a fan where a light fitting already exists takes about 45–60 minutes. If new wiring is required, allow two to three hours. We test the fan at all speeds before leaving.
