Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Fans

Fans designed for either indoor or outdoor settings are a win-win proposition, offering versatility and a seamless segue between indoor and outdoor decor. Stylish designs, like the Maverick Outdoor Ceiling Fan from Monte Carlo Fans—boasting a sophisticated modern silhouette and 60-inch blade sweep, with optimal air floor for indoor and outdoor spaces—are sure to be a hit. The Fanimation Hydra Ceiling Fan—wet-rated for outdoor use, with a 120-inch blade sweep and ultra-efficient motor that moves massive amounts of air with minimal amount of energy use—makes fan shopping a breeze.

Energy Efficient Ceiling Fans

One of the four types of ceiling fans include energy efficient fans. Ceiling fans are a smart choice for the warmer months for their breezy ambiance, yes, but most importantly, for their energy efficiency. Standard fans use less energy that central air conditioning, but Energy Star rated ceiling fans, like the Odyn Ceiling Fan by Fanimation, and the Akova Ceiling Fan by Monte Carlo Fans are built for maximum efficiency, using up to 70% less energy than conventional fans. Don't be fooled by the sleek and stylish good looks of the Fanimation Spitfire Ceiling Fan, above, and the refined, barely-there Ball Ceiling Fan by Modern Fan. Both cool things off nicely, while barely working up a sweat.

Fan Lighting

Modern ceiling fans with built-in lighting are a two-in-one proposition that's hard to resist. And when fan lighting is as illuminating as designs from Monte Carlo Fans, Fanimation, and Modern Fan, why bother resisting? The Marin LED Ceiling Fan is a nautical beauty with a central LED light source and a super efficient and quiet DC motor, while the Melody Ceiling Fan by Monte Carlo Fans boats a curved, 3-blade composition and integrated LED light with frosted glass shade. The IC/Air 2 Blade Fan by Modern Fan is a sleek, refined composition that makes do with fewer blades, but leaves room for an energy-efficient LED light.
