Selecting Features

Ceiling fans offer a wide variety of fun features. Familiarize yourself with the features below to decide which ones are most important for your new ceiling fan.

To light or not to light

Whether you prefer to have as many layers of lighting as possible or no overhead lighting, there are ceiling fan options for you. Some people like the comfort of a ceiling fan but don’t like the bulk of the added light kit. If sleek and simplistic is your desire we have a selection of no-light ceiling fans as well as integrated light ceiling fans from which to choose. Many ceiling fans can also be installed without the light kit. Many people prefer a ceiling fan with lights for the added comfort and illumination. Prominence Home ceiling fans offer a vast array of styles and levels of brightness. From unique, powerful LED ring lights to vintage-style Edison bulbs, there is a ceiling fan perfect for whatever your lighting needs.

Controls

Choosing a control system that is convenient and fits your lifestyle is key when it comes to ceiling fans.

Pull Chains

Most people grew up with a basic ceiling fan that turns the fan functions off and on utilizing a wall switch and then adjusts the motor speed and lighting using pull chains.

For those who have used this type of fan their whole life, they will gravitate towards pull chain controlled ceiling fans due to simplicity and familiarity.

Remote Controls

Prominence Home’s advanced ceiling fans have all the comfort of the pull chain ceiling fan but with the added convenience of a remote control. Control the power, the 3 speed settings and the light from the convenience of an easy to use remote (*batteries are included with remotes).

Remotes are typically handheld, but often include a wall mount to store the remote when not in use.

Smart Fans

Smart fans are the newest innovation in ceiling fans. The Prominence Home Smart Fan Collection powered by FansIO combines state-of-the-art technology with luxurious comfort and style!

This line of smart fans also works with home automation applications such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant giving you the option to use your voice to control the fan functions. Additionally, the unit can be controlled via the included FansIO smart ceiling fan remote as well as the FansIO app which is downloadable at the App Store and Google Play. Being smart has never been so cool!

Airflow

Ceiling fans do not actually cool the air - they create air circulation. This air movement can make your space feel up to 10 degrees cooler in the summer. During the cooler months, adjust your ceiling fan to run clockwise on the lowest speed setting to push down the warm air from above and recirculate it keeping your house warmer. Every fan includes a reverse switch to control the direction of blade rotation.

 

CFM (cubic feet per minute) measures the amount of air moved by a ceiling fan. The higher the CFM, the more air the fan will move. Checking the Energy Guide will give you an idea of the average airflow.

Many factors contribute to the CFM:

  • Motor size
  • Motor speed
  • Blade shape
  • Blade arm pitch
  • Distance from blades to ceiling
  • Number of blades
