Imagine lounging right outside on your home patio with friends, family, and other loved ones. Sharing a fun and relaxing time with those that you love the most has everything to do the warmth, feel, and character of the room. To capture the essence of modern styling, you add contemporary furniture to your beautiful patio, but many people forget to adorn these outdoor dwellings with equally modern and contemporary home accessories.

Many homes across America are adorned with beautiful ceiling fans indoors, but why might you consider one outdoors – on your patio, covered porch, terrace, or gazebo? These lighting fixtures and cooling devices are not necessarily designed to cool down rooms or remove humidity, but they are relatively inexpensive items which are designed to keep you cool. The extra breeze increases your comfort level. And for that reason, many home remodeling projects are incorporating outdoor ceiling fans into their designs.

While it may be tempting to just head straight out to Home Depot or Lowe’s and pick up the model that you like, an experienced salesperson will advise you to choose from a selection and take inventory of your specific feature needs. Why the distinction? Outdoor models are specially designed to withstand outdoor humidity conditions. You will these fans rated as either damp or wet, depending on the conditions of the environment. It is important to select carefully because doing otherwise may lead to damaging the motor, or worse, electrical wiring problems! Generally, outdoor ceiling fans are easy to install, and for many home remodeling projects, this addition ends up being a do-it-yourself assignment. So make sure to do your research on which features are best for your outdoor patio.

Many people associate ceiling fans with an Old Southern Charm or “Country Living”-type feel. If this is not the particular style you are going for, rest assured that there are many options for consumers. Manufacturers have recognized the increased demand for more modern or contemporary styles by featuring sleek, beautiful outdoor ceiling fans. Designing the perfect outdoor patio for you has just gotten a whole lot easier! For this reason alone, many more people are adding contemporary outdoor ceiling fans to your patio redesign or home remodeling projects.

Why don’t most people bother to install ceiling fans properly?

I’ve noticed that most people think that you can just simply install a ceiling fan to an existing fixture box and expect it to work, and more importantly, be safe. They seldom replace the ceiling box with one designed to support fans, and they leave the existing 14/2 cable powered by a single switch. If wired this way, then the switch controls the whole unit, and pull-chains must be used. If the box isn’t changed, then the fan will be too heavy for it, and it can literally pull the box down out of the ceiling with the wiring.

Why don’t they is your question? A) They don’t know what you know and so just wire and hang the fixture the best they can. 2) They take the easy way out to get the fan up and running as fast as they can. Also, running a 14/3 in place of a 14/2 can be a major undertaking in many situations.

What floors me is when a “Pro” takes the easy way out to get the job done.
