1. Choose a location for your fan.
Location is important when selecting the size and design of ceiling fan for your room.
- Indoors - An indoor fan, which is sometimes referred to as a dry-rated, fan makes an ideal fit for a living room or bedroom.
- Outdoors - When choosing a ceiling fan for an outdoor space, select a model that satisfies the requirements of Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Many of Sofucors' fans can be used both indoors and outdoors, but be aware that some fans can only be used indoors.
2. Choose the right ceiling fan size
The diameter of the room affects how much air a ceiling fan circulates. Fans with bigger diameters are needed in larger rooms, and smaller spaces call for smaller fans.
- Small - Rooms that are no more than 8' x 10' should have ceiling fan sizes between 21" and 40" in diameter. Small rooms include dens and kitchen nooks.
- Medium - If your room is up to 12' x 14', stick with a fan that is 42" - 54" in diameter. Medium rooms include bedrooms and dining rooms.
- Large - A room that is up to 18' x 20' should feature ceiling fan sizes 52" - 60" in diameter. This includes family rooms and large bedrooms.
- Great - Great rooms are more than 18' x 20' and should include a fan more that is larger than 60" in diameter. Great rooms are characterized by open floorplans and large foyers.

4. Choose whether you want a fan with or without lights
- Fans without lights - If you want to place your fan in a space with plenty of natural light or light from other sources, a ceiling fan without lights is a smart choice.
- Fans with lights - If you plan to install your new fan in a room with limited natural lighting, a ceiling fan with lights is a good choice. Most of our fans with lights have adjustable brightness.
5. Pick which mount-type works best for your space
The mounting system selection should take into account the height and slope of the room's ceiling. Here are two common mount types for our ceiling fans.
- Flush-Mount / Low-Profile - This mount type has the ceiling fan connected directly to the ceiling. We recommend a flush mount if your ceiling is under 8' high.
- Downrod Mount - A downrod mount has a long pole that connects the fan to the ceiling. We recommend a flush mount if your ceiling is over 8' high.
6. Decide how you want to control your fan
Following are two types of control we can provide.
- Remote control - All our fans can be controlled remotely,allowing you to control the fan's direction and speed from anywhere in the room, as well as dim the lights.

7. Pick the airflow/efficiency you need
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and refers to the measurement of how much air is moved by a ceiling fan.Compared to standard fans, our energy-efficient ceiling fans can provide more airflow with less energy consumption.
