Determine the size fan you need
Choosing the Right Size Ceiling Fan for your Room
Follow these steps to ensure you choose the right size fan and install it at the right height:
Determine the square footage of your room
Measure the length of the room by the width and then multiply.
For example, 12 feet long x 10 feet wide = 120 total square footage
Have a tall or cathedral ceiling?
Many Kichler ceiling fans work with 8- or 9-foot ceilings. If your ceiling is higher, you’ll need a
downrod. The rule of thumb is that fans should have a minimum of 7-feet and a maximum of
9-feet of clearance between the bottom of the fan blades and the oor in order to circulate
the air efciently.
