Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an outdoor ceiling fan different from an indoor fan?
Outdoor fans are built to withstand weather conditions like moisture, humidity, and dust. They’re typically constructed with durable materials and weather-resistant finishes, and are UL-rated for damp or wet locations. Indoor fans, on the other hand, are not designed for exposure to the elements and may rust or malfunction if used outside.
Can I use an outdoor ceiling fan in a covered patio or veranda?
Absolutely! Outdoor fans are ideal for covered patios, verandas, pergolas, and gazebos. For covered but not fully enclosed spaces, look for a damp-rated fan. If the space is open to rain or heavy moisture, go with a wet-rated fan like the Haiku Coastal, which is built to handle direct exposure to the elements.
Do outdoor fans help keep bugs away?
Yes, to some extent. While they don’t eliminate insects, outdoor fans create air movement that makes it harder for mosquitoes and flies to hover around. The breeze helps disrupt their flight patterns, making your outdoor space less appealing to them.
Can outdoor ceiling fans be controlled remotely or through smart home systems?
Many modern outdoor fans, like the Haiku Coastal, come with smart features. With built-in SenseME™ technology, the fan can automatically adjust speed based on temperature, humidity, and occupancy. They can also connect to smart home systems like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit for hands-free control.
Are outdoor ceiling fans energy efficient?
Yes. Outdoor fans are a low-energy way to enhance comfort. They help improve air circulation, reducing the need for outdoor heating or cooling systems. Smart models can also adjust their settings automatically, using only as much energy as needed—great for your comfort and your power bill.
Why choose large outdoor ceiling fans for spacious areas?
Large outdoor ceiling fans are ideal for bigger patios, decks, and alfresco spaces where wider airflow coverage is needed. With longer blades and powerful motors, these fans can circulate air more effectively over large open areas, keeping everyone cool and comfortable. They’re especially useful in commercial or industrial settings, where airflow consistency and design impact matter.
A note from our biggest fans
“Brought one for my back room and was impressed. I’m an electrician and found it easy to install all parts required were there and beautifully engineered. Did have an issue with the batteries in the remote going flat quickly so called and had a new remote in days. I have just installed a 2nd in a bedroom that is ideal with the high ceilings as they are quiet and circulate air well. thumbs up.”
– David Farrington
