Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Fan performance and energy savings depend on proper installation and use. Follow these tips for efficient performance:

Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location

Install fans in the center of the room, at least 10 feet from the floor to the blades and 18 inches from the wall to the blades.

Turn Off When Not in the Room

Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. Turn off the fan when the room is unoccupied to save energy.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round

• Summer Season: Use the fan clockwise. Airflow creates a wind-chill effect, making you feel cooler. Select a fan speed for a comfortable breeze; lower speeds use less energy.
• Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operate at low speed counter-clockwise. This produces an updraft, pushing warm ceiling air down. Adjust your thermostat accordingly to save energy and money.

Electrical and Structural Requirements

Your fan requires a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp Circuit. Use a fan-rated outlet box, labeled as such, capable of supporting at least 35 lbs (15.9 kg). Ensure the box rating meets fan requirements. Figures 1, 2, and 3 illustrate mounting configurations.

Low-profile use (Figure 1)

Deep-profile use (Figure 2)

A 2-1/4-inch deep box attaches to blocking between joists and accommodates multiple cables.

Brace use (Figure 3)

This hanger spans between two joists and replaces wooden blocking, used with a deep box.

⚠️ WARNING: Mount fan to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less. Use screws supplied with the outlet box. Most standard light fixture boxes are not acceptable for fan support and may need replacement. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

If replacing an existing light fixture, turn off power at the main fuse box and remove the fixture.

⚠️ WARNING: Turning off the wall switch is insufficient. Turn off power at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must comply with National and Local codes. The fan must be properly grounded.

⚠️ WARNING: Follow all wiring instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not operate this fan with a variable (rheostat) wall controller or dimmer switch, as it may damage the fan.
