The big ones are 52 inches. That's 26 inches from the center to the outer edge. Many people fear that the big one won't fit in their bedroom or bathroom, but they never check, and end up buying the smaller one. Man, they coulda had the big one! Make sure that the blades won't hit any shower curtains, dresser mirrors, or wall-mounted TVs.

Small fan. Big mistake. |

If you have a low ceiling, don't buy a fan with a down rod. Many have a down rod but also allow mounting up against the ceiling. You don't need a down rod unless you have a cathedral ceiling.

When I take down the old fan, you will see a dirty mark.
So buy a fan with a BIGGER footprint. Otherwise you will have to touch up your paint, and the paint you saved doesn't match the old ceiling paint anymore.

If I am replacing a ceiling light fixture, do not install a fan without a light kit. You will really miss that light.
If I am replacing an old fan, the box in the ceiling is probably strong enough to hold the new fan.
If I am replacing an old light fixture, the box may or may not be strong enough. Your light weighs one pound. Your fan can weigh up to 50 pounds. Plus, it's a moving object. I might have to reinforce your box.
If your ceiling has no fixture, I'll have to install one. I'll need attic access.
I'll give you a free estimate. The rate depends on where you live and on some specifics about your job.
