Perhaps your ceiling fan needs a little update — or maybe certain parts aren’t functioning like they should. In either case, you’ve lucked out; ceiling fan parts are readily interchangeable, making it relatively simple to upgrade your fixture.

How do I decide which type of ceiling fan blades to purchase?


Your fan blades are one of the most visible parts of your fixture, so they should complement the style of your home and be functional as well. Thankfully, the days of one blade shape in a few different wood textures and colors are gone. Nowadays you can choose from multiple finishes, textures, colors and even shapes. While these choices are all up to your personal preferences, the size of your fan blades should be based on the dimensions of the room where your fixture will go. Here are a few different room dimensions, along with suggested fan sizes, to give you an idea of what to look for:
• Up to 75 square feet: A set of 29- to 36-inch blades is recommended.
• 76 to 144 square feet: 36 to 42 inches
• 144 to 225 square feet: 44 inches
• 225 to 400 square feet: 50 to 54 inches
• Fan blade positioning: The blade tips should be at least 30 inches from your walls or other obstructions, and the bottom edges should be at least 7 feet above your floor.

Also note that the number of blades may be a consideration. While this also boils down mainly to your personal tastes, it’s worth noting that having more blades means quieter operation but less circulated air and more strain on the motor. More than likely you won’t notice a difference, but if efficiency and maximum air circulation are important to you, this might be something worth noting.

How do I install new ceiling fan lights?


The easiest way to update your ceiling fan light is to use a light kit. Ceiling fan light kits include all the parts as well as instructions for installing new lights and shades. Don’t forget to ensure that the power is off while handling the electrical components of your fixture, and follow all safety precautions and instructions included with your kit.
