How it works

  1. 1Band by room size (ENERGY STAR, 1 in = 2.54 cm)
  2. 212 m² ≈ 129 sq ft → 112 cm (44-44 in)
  3. 3Downrod = ceiling − 2.6 m = 0.10 m (downrod needed)

Bands: ≤6 m²→30-36 in / 6-9.5→36-42 / 9.5-13.5→44 / 13.5-21→50-54 / 21+→56 in+. In large rooms, two mid-size fans beat one giant.

Blades must sit ≥2.2 m above the floor and ≥0.6 m from beds or furniture. For ceilings ≥3 m, drop 30-60 cm on a downrod.

Run forward in summer to push air down, reverse on low in winter to pull warm air off the ceiling. Compare CFM and noise (≤55 dB), not just diameter.
