Outdoor Ceiling Fan On Sale

Furthermore, main difference between indoor fans is that outdoor fans are generally made from plastic or resin as they have to be able to deal with weather conditions, while indoor fans can be made from soft wood and other materials that can easily be damaged.

Most outdoor ceiling fans also have overhead lights. These lights are as numerous as the fans themselves. They can imitate the reflected light of a chandelier or can be encased in the latest style of contemporary art. Whatever you want, it can be done is probably already available. The overhead light is especially useful in an outdoor setting. In fact, many people need outdoor lighting for their patio and realize the benefit of installing a light and a ceiling fan in tandem.

There are 2 basic types of outdoor ceiling fans. Those that are UL listed and approved for use in Wet Locations and those that are rated for Damp Locations.

Wet Rated Outdoor Ceiling Fans: Wet rated outdoor ceiling fans can be exposed directly to rain, so they are not only great for outdoor patios, but can be installed under a Gazeebo or Lanai...or a patio that is only partially covered.

Damp Rated Outdoor Ceiling Fans: Damp rated outdoor ceiling fans cannot be exposed directly to rain or water. They are designed to handle moisture and must be installed in a covered area such as a porch, bathroom, or indoor pool area. They cannot be installed in a Gazeebo or Lanai and should not be installed under a porch unless the porch is covered enough to protect the fan from direct exposure to rain.

When shopping for an outdoor ceiling fan, you need to consider what you want the fan to accomplish. If the area that you are trying to keep cool is directly above a seating area and you do not expect to need much breeze, then the average models will be sufficient. However, what many have found is that the higher quality models with larger motors will not only keep you more comfortable during those hot summer days, they will also keep the flies away, so this is something to consider when you make your purchase.

No matter what type of ceiling fan you purchase, make sure it is rated properly for use in the area you wish. Of course, personal preference always comes into play when choosing a ceiling fan. Always buy the proper type of fan for the proper place it is to go in, and make sure a trained professional installs it for you.
