1. Size of the Room -
One of the first things you notice when shopping for ceiling fans is that they’re sorted by. This refers to the diameter of the circle, the rotating blades. The bigger the room, the bigger the fan you want.
Small room, such as a bathroom or laundry room, less than 80 sq. Feet. : 24-42″ blade span.
Medium room, such as a guest bedroom or office, 100-150 sq. Feet. : 44-50″ blade span.
Standard room, such as a bedroom or living room, 150-300 sq. Feet. : 52-60″ blade span.
Large room, such as a great room, 300 sq. Feet. or more: 62″ blade span.

2. The material of the Blades -
Choosing the material of the sharp fan edge is vital. The conventional materials utilized for making roof fans are metal, wood, or plastic.
You can pick the one which goes with the dignity of the space to give it a smooth and cleaned look. Be that as it may, in the event that you are purchasing roof fans for dampness inclined rooms, for example, kitchen and washrooms, select edges with powder covering.

3. The Number of Blades on The Ceiling Fan -
Many individuals assume that if a roof fan has more cutting edges, it will create more wind stream. Nonetheless, this isn’t valid, and instead, it just hangs overwhelming and does not work well. The best roof fan is the one with three sharp edges. The design of the fan — be it traditional or contemporary has nothing to do with its functions. The number and the angle of the blades are what make the difference.

4. Energy Efficiency
-If you are searching for an outdoor ceiling fan for your balcony, you will need a good-quality ceiling fan, which does not get damaged due to outside forces such as rain or wind. If you are selecting the fan for your bedroom or any other indoor room, make sure it is energy-efficient and high quality to provide the extra silence often needed for restful sleep.

BEE has a star rating system for ceiling fans with 1200mm span and a minimum of 210 CMM. It is a trusted, government-backed system that rates the fans according to its service value.

The following are the star rating guidelines from the BEE website.
SERVICE VALUE STAR RATING
greater than or equal to 3.2 to lesser than 3.4 1 Star
greater than or equal to 3.4 to Lesser than 3.6 3 Star
greater than or equal to 3.6 to 3 Lesser than 3.8 3 Star
greater than or equal to 8 to Lesser than 4.0 4 Star
greater than or equal to 4.0 5 Star

A. CFM -
The number next to this acronym, which represents cubic feet of airflow per minute, is important. CFM represents the wind chill effect that makes people feel cooler. You generally want the highest CFM you can find for your appropriate fan so you can turn down the thermostat and save energy. A higher CFM may be the result of a bigger motor that requires more energy to run, but this is a minimal expense compared to the cost of running your air conditioner. Look for at least 6,000-7,000 CFM for the best results.

B. Motor -
While fans are not as big an investment as a new air conditioner, you don’t want to waste money. However, it’s worth the expense to spend more money on a fan with higher CFM and a better motor. A bigger, better-performing motor can help boost the CFM but also reduce noise and wobbling. Since this is a device that may be running for several hours a day, you want something pretty quiet. DC motors are considered the latest and most efficient in ceiling fan motor technology – and also the most expensive. Motors larger than 200 mm are more affordable but still regarded as good quality.

Installation
After buying the best ceiling fans, call up your electrician to install the ceiling fan. If you have good knowledge and experience, then you can do it on your own but then get the help of a user manual to go with the flow chart of installation and avoid mishaps.
