Step 1 Take notice of the size and shape of the room. Floor space and ceiling height will be factors to consider when picking out the unit.
Step 2 Choose a dealer with a large selection. Fans come in many varieties, from turn-of-the-century styles to modern chic. Most models come with light fixtures or have kits available for adding lights.
Step 3 Consider your budget. Fans range in price from less than fifty dollars to several hundred dollars for specialized versions in custom colors with remote controls.
Step 4 Consider low-profile or ceiling-hugger fans for a ceiling of 7 feet or less (often in basements or attics). These models provide a little less air movement and generally do not accommodate light fixtures but are still very helpful with circulation.
Step 5 Use a fan with a small blade in a small room to avoid an overcrowded look.
Step 6 Think about the number of blades. More blades mean more air movement at lower speeds, which means less noise.
Step 7 Hire a professional electrician to install the fan if you have any doubts about your ability to do it yourself.
