FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can wet-rated or damp-rated outdoor fans be used inside?

Yes! Outdoor fans can be used inside, but indoor fans cannot be used outside. For indoor spaces that are prone to moisture, like laundry rooms or bathrooms, we suggest using a damp-rated fan so you won't have to worry about corrosion or moisture damage.

Can an indoor fan be used in carports or covered porches?

Nope – even if your outdoor space is partially enclosed or screened, an indoor ceiling fan won't be rated or approved to handle even the slightest amount of moisture. In fact, using an indoor fan outdoors can be downright dangerous – if damaged from the elements, the fan can short and cause an electrical fire.

Do I need an outdoor-rated ceiling fan downrod?

If your ceiling is more than 8 feet high, you should use a low-profile outdoor ceiling fan that doesn’t require a downrod. If your ceiling is higher than 9-feet or higher - Yes, you’re going to use an outdoor-rated downrod. with the appropriate rating. We carry a variety of downrods in multiple sizes to ensure the right fit for the height of your ceiling.

What size fan is best for a large patio?

For patios over 400 square feet, we recommend large outdoor ceiling fans with a blade span of 60 inches or more. These fans provide optimal airflow across vast, open spaces. You can also use multiple medium-sized fans for large rectangular areas.

What are the best ceiling fans for outdoor use?

The best outdoor fans offer strong airflow, weather resistance, and a design that complements your space. Hunter’s outdoor ceiling fans are engineered for durability and include features like corrosion-resistant finishes, energy-efficient LED lighting, and high-performance motors.

install a ceiling fan on a pergola or gazebo? Yes—if the fan is wet-rated. Wet-rated fans are safe for direct exposure to rain and can be mounted in open-air structures like gazebos and pergolas. Be sure the fan is installed securely and the electrical connections are protected.
