It does help keep you cooler in the kitchen, but creates air currents that can interfere with effectiveness of the exhaust hood. The fan can also get gunky with greasy dust. Since you have your kitchen gutted, I would make sure you have adequate AC registers in your kitchen. This would provide a cleaner look.

Can the fan be installed in a bedroom?

Thanks Mmilos,

My bedrooms' ceilings are all too low to have a ceiling fan. I don't have central AC, so it would actually be nice to have some air movement with the oven and/or stove in use.

an electrician would be the best person to tell you how big of a deal it would be to put the fan in the living room. but no, don't use it in the kitchen.

Function should come first. I would go ahead and install it in the kitchen since you don't have AC.

I have a ceiling fan in my kitchen and I love it. My former kitchen had only one window, no fan, and even with air conditioning, would become impossibly hot and uncomfortable. When we remodeled, we added the ceiling fan, a really good exhaust hood, and now have 5 windows. The room is much more comfortable to cook in now, but I have to be careful using it when I use the gas range, since it can tend to blow out the flames.

Sounds like a beautiful fan, but glossy blades and glass fixtures are going to need wiping down frequently in the kitchen. (I just got done cleaning my gunky glass pendant lights.) Don't know how high the ceiling is, but I'd make sure you can get to it pretty easily cause you'll need to.

Had to stop using my ceiling fan when I switched to gas stove. Before that, I used it a lot when I was canning.

I would love a ceiling fan in the kitchen but my husband is going to put up the Tiffany light I purchased instead. I do use a floor fan that we bring down from my bedroom when I cook so I do not get too hot.
