FAQ's

Measure your room's floor area in square metres. For small rooms (up to 9m²), choose a 105cm (42”) or 122cm (48") fan. Medium rooms (up to 20m²) need a 132cm (52") fan, while large open spaces benefit from 142cm (56") or larger models. Ensure blades sit at least 2.1m above the floor.

DC motor ceiling fans are up to 70% more energy-efficient than a comparable AC motor ceiling fan, virtually silent, and offer more speed options (usually 5 to 6) alongside remote controls.

Yes. Most modern fans feature a winter reverse mode. Switching the fan to clockwise rotation pushes trapped warm air down from the ceiling without creating a cooling breeze. This redistributes heat evenly throughout the room and can significantly lower your winter heating costs.

Yes. In New Zealand, all mains-wired ceiling fans must be installed by a licensed electrician. This ensures compliance with local electrical safety standards, validates your manufacturer warranty, and protects your home insurance policy.

Yes, depending on the model. Typically most ceiling fans suspended by a downrod can be installed on sloped ceilings up to 15–20 degrees using the standard ball-joint mounting bracket included with the fan. If your ceiling slope exceeds the fan's maximum angle, a wedge is required. Additionally, depending on the ceiling height, you may need an extension downrod to ensure blade clearance and optimal airflow. We recommend you check the fans specifications before purchasing.

An integrated LED ceiling fan features a built-in LED light kit rather than standard screw-in bulbs. These sleek, low-profile designs are highly energy-efficient and often feature 3CCT (Three Correlated Colour Temperatures), allowing you to switch between warm, cool, or daylight options via your remote or wall switch.

For safety and optimal airflow, the blades must be at least 2.1m above the floor and 50cm away from any walls or doors. If you have low ceilings, look for flush-mount hugger ceiling fans designed specifically to maximise vertical clearance safely.

Ceiling fans generally operate between 30 to 50 dB (decibels)—equivalent to a soft whisper or a quiet library.

  • DC Motor Fans (30–40 dB): Virtually silent on low to medium speeds. They use direct current motors that run cooler and quieter than traditional AC fans, making them ideal for bedrooms.

  • AC Motor Fans (40–50 dB): You may hear a soft electrical hum alongside the sound of moving air, but they remain unobtrusive for general living spaces.
