Are 65 inch ceiling fans too big for typical rooms?

They can be brilliant in the right space, but they are not for every box room. Large fans suit bigger lounges, open plan kitchen diners and loft style spaces where the blades can breathe. As a rough guide, if the main seating area is at least four metres across, a 65 inch fan can work well. In smaller rooms you are usually better with a mid sized fan so it cools the space without dominating the whole ceiling.

What ceiling height do I need for a 60 inch fan in a UK home?

The main thing is to keep the blades well above head height so the fan feels comfortable, not intimidating. Aim for the blades to sit at least around two point one metres from the floor. If your ceilings are on the lower side, choose a low profile hugger style fan that sits close to the ceiling rather than on a long drop rod. Always measure from floor to ceiling, check the fan’s overall depth in the specifications, and make sure there is clear space above doors and tall furniture.

Will a large ceiling fan actually cool my room or just move hot air around?

Ceiling fans do not lower the actual temperature but they make the room feel cooler by moving air across your skin. A 60 inch fan on a gentle setting can keep a big lounge or open plan area comfortable in warm weather without a noisy portable unit on the floor. In winter, many models have a reverse mode that pushes warm air down from the ceiling, helping your radiators work more evenly at a lower thermostat setting.

Are big ceiling fans noisy in everyday use?

A good quality large fan should be very quiet on its lower speeds, with only a soft whoosh of air. Cheap or badly installed fans can wobble and hum, which is annoying in a UK lounge or bedroom. Look for balanced blades, a decent motor and clear speed ratings. When it is fitted, ask the installer to double check fixings and alignment. If a fan clacks or vibrates from day one, something usually needs adjusting.

Can I fit a large ceiling fan myself or should I use an electrician?

For big fans it is much wiser to use an electrician. A 60 inch fan is heavier than a normal pendant and needs a solid fixing into joists rather than just the plasterboard and an old ceiling rose. The wiring, wall control or remote receiver also need to be connected safely. A professional install reduces the chance of wobbles, buzzing and tripped circuits and gives peace of mind that the fan spinning above your head is properly supported and wired.
