What About Ceiling Height?

Be sure there is at least 7 foot of clearance under your ceiling fan blades. The standard 4"-6" downrod should work in most 8 ft. ceiling installations. This will position the blades far enough from the ceiling to have enough “supply” air above the blades to provide good air movement. If greater floor to fan clearance is needed, most fans can be mounted “close-up” without using any downrod. However, air movement is reduced using the close-up mounting. This chart shows recommended downrod lengths for various ceiling heights.
