1. Will ceiling fans help me save energy and money?
A ceiling fan saves energy all year long. In warmer weather it can make a room feel up to seven degrees cooler by creating a "wind chill" effect. You can set your thermostat higher and save up to 40% on air conditioning bills. In the winter, you can run the fan in reverse to recirculation the hot air trapped near the ceiling. You can set your thermostat lower and save on heating cost as the fan provides even, comfortable temperatures throughout the room. Either way, you conserve valuable energy, making a ceiling fan a wise investment for you and the environment. Look to Lighting and Ceiling Fans, the world's leader in ceiling fans, to deliver maximum savings on your heating and cooling bills. Lighting and Ceiling Fans will assure you that your fan will provide maximum comfort and savings when compared home air conditioning. A ceiling fan is an energy saving appliance. And remember, saving energy helps protect the environment and helps save your money!
2. How high should my ceiling fan hang?
A ceiling fan should hang 8 or 9 feet from the floor. A longer down rod may be necessary to achieve this height. Fan manufactures have optional down rods to make this possible.
3. Can I hang a ceiling fan from a plastic junction box?
A ceiling fan must always be hung from a metal junction box. A plastic box will eventually crack with the vibration of a ceiling fan and can be fatal.
4. If I hang a ceiling fan from a sloped ceiling will it hang straight?
If the slope of your ceiling is less than 30 degrees the fan will hang straight. Be sure that the placement of the fan on the slope will allow adequate room for the blades. A down rod of at least 18 inches usually takes care of this issue. Most manufacturers stock an optional sloped ceiling adapter for ceilings that have a steeper slope.
5. What size ceiling fan do I need?
For maximum efficiency choose a fan to fit the size of your room. For a room up to 75 square feet which is like a bathroom, choose a 29 inch to 36 inch of total blade span fan. Medium sized rooms up to 144 square feet can fit ceiling fans from 36 inches to 42 inches in total blade span. The larger bedrooms and family rooms around 225 square feet work most efficiently with fans that are 50 inches to 54 inches in total blade span. In some cases you may want to include two or more fans to accommodate the ceiling space.
6. Which direction should my fan turn in the summer?
In the summer your fan should turn forward (counter clockwise) and in the winter it should be in reverse (clockwise). Lamp shades 15 inches wide or more supply the most ample light for reading
7. Can I use any ceiling fan outdoors?
You should always use an outdoor ceiling fan if it will be hung outside or in a damp area. The motor of an outdoor ceiling fan is sealed from moisture and dirt. The blades are made of ABS instead of wood to prevent warping.

8. Do I need an outdoor light for an outdoor fan?
Yes, an outdoor light is sealed to keep out moisture and dirt.
9. My fan is wobbling, how do I make it stop?
A wobbling fan is a direct result of an incorrect assemble of the junction box. Please follow the steps below to secure the problem:

There are several reasons to why your remote isn't working, here are some solutions to fit the problem:

  • Once new batteries are in place, check the indicator light. If the indicator light is not working, then the remote need to be reprogrammed.
  • Check the dipswitches in both the remote and the receiver to make sure both are in the same position.
  • If the switches are in the correct position and the remote is not functioning, the alternative cause could be the receiver in the fan.
  • Check the wall switch by flipping it on and off, then retry.
  • If all fails, please check the accesories page or give us a call with the item number to replace the remote.

13. Will wall control fit into a standard receptacle?
Yes. The wall remote is designed to fit into a standard wall receptacle.
14. I have a remote control fan and it turns on and off on its own, what could be wrong?
The remote controls are designed to use radio frequency to control the fan and lights. The cause of your remote turning on and off on its own may be because it is picking up another radio frenquency. They are designed to pick up any range up to 40ft. If you have multiple fans in your home using different remotes, you will need to change the individual remotes to different frequencies.
