Fan Size vs Room Size

The right size fan keeps you comfortable, protects the motor, and can save you money.
A fan that is too small for a large room will feel weak and underwhelming, while a fan that's too large for a small room can feel overpowering

Things to consider

• Keep fan blades at least 2.1 metres above the floor.
• Ensure blades clear cupboard doors when in use.
• Blades should never cross a light source to avoid light flicker.
• Always keep fans well clear of bunk beds.
• Make sure the fan is mounted to a secure, stable fixing point.

Rule of numbers

At Zebbies, our motors are carefully selected to handle each fans' blade count with ease.
Instead of focusing on the motor, choose your fan based on its size, style, and intended location.

All Zebbies fans are factory-balanced, but we also include a balancing kit should you need it.
Every Zebbies fan comes with a 2-year warranty, and we carry spare parts for all models.

Ceiling fans in summer

The summer setting, found on the motor or fan remote, sets the fan to rotate counter-clockwise when viewed from below.
This pushes air downward, speeding up sweat evaporation and helping you feel up to 8°C cooler. The overall room temperature feels a few degrees lower as well, allowing you to reduce air conditioning use and potentially cut cooling costs by up to 40%.

Ceiling fans in winter

The winter setting, found on the motor or fan remote, sets the fan to rotate clockwise.

When run at a low speed, this setting pulls warm air down from the ceiling, gently redistributing heat without creating a chilly breeze. Depending on your fan and room size, this can help reduce heating costs by up to 15%.
