Frequently Asked Questions
Buying & Sizing
Fan size depends on your room’s square footage. Smaller rooms typically need smaller blade spans, while larger or open spaces benefit from larger fans for better airflow.
- Small to medium-sized rooms between 100 -130 square feet: A fandelier with a diameter of 22 inches is ideal for these spaces. Consider the Auri, Jaxon, Kaiti, Maribel, or Santiago models.
- Medium to large-sized rooms between 175 - 300 square feet: A ceiling fan with a diameter of 52 inches is ideal for these spaces. Consider the 52" Cormac Low-Profile Ceiling Fan or 52" Ravian Ceiling Fan models.
- Large-sized rooms between 300 - 450 square feet: A ceiling fan with a diameter of 60 inches is ideal for these spaces. Consider the 60" Ravian Ceiling Fan model.
- Extra Large-sized rooms between 400 - 600 square feet: A ceiling fan with a diameter of 72 inches is ideal for these spaces. Consider the 72" Ravian Ceiling Fan model.
Each Arranmore fan includes recommended room size details to make choosing easy.
A fandelier (fan + chandelier) combines the decorative look of a chandelier with the comfort and functionality of a ceiling fan. It’s a great choice when you want a statement-making fixture that delivers both style and air movement, often with an elevated, designer-forward appearance.
A standard ceiling fan is typically defined by a more classic or straightforward fan-forward look, designed to complement the room while focusing on comfort, airflow, and (in many cases) integrated lighting.
Choosing the right downrod length is essential because it determines how low your ceiling fan hangs, which affects air circulation, safety, and the overall look of the room. A downrod is the metal pipe that connects the fan motor to the mounting bracket and helps position the fan at the ideal height.
The goal is to keep fan blades about 7–9 feet above the floor—too high reduces airflow, and too low becomes a safety hazard. Downrods range from as short as 4 inches to over 72 inches, making them suitable for both standard and tall ceilings.
To calculate the correct length, use this formula:
Downrod length = Ceiling height − Fan height − Desired hanging height
Example: A 12-foot ceiling with a 12-inch-tall fan and an 8-foot hanging height needs a 36-inch downrod.
Key factors include ceiling height, fan height, and desired hanging height, with additional considerations like vaulted/angled ceilings, style preferences, manufacturer compatibility, and choosing the right downrod diameter for the fan’s weight.
For ceilings under 8 feet, a downrod may not be appropriate—flush mount fans are often a better option.
For low ceilings, the best choice is typically a flush-mount (hugger) ceiling fan that keeps the profile close to the ceiling while still delivering comfortable airflow. In most spaces with 8–9 ft ceilings, a small to medium fan (about 44–52") works well—just make sure you maintain safe clearance below the blades (generally at least 7 feet from the floor) so the room feels open, comfortable, and properly proportioned.
Jaxon and Cormac are wonderful flush-mount options and perfect for lower ceilings.
The best ceiling fan style is the one that matches your space and how you want the fan to feel in the room—either like a standout design piece or a subtle upgrade. Start by choosing a style that complements your finishes (hardware, lighting, furniture, and trim), then decide whether you prefer a statement fan (like a fandelier or open-cage design) or a clean, minimalist fan that blends in.
If you’re unsure, a modern/neutral finish is the easiest “go-with-anything” option, while farmhouse, coastal, or glam styles work best when they match the rest of your décor for a cohesive look.
Yes — as long as the fan is rated for outdoor use. All Arranmore ceiling fans are suitable for covered outdoor spaces except Maribel, which is indoor-only.
For patios, porches, and screened-in areas, we recommend a damp-rated fan designed to handle humidity and moisture in the air. Outdoor fans should always be installed in a protected location, not directly exposed to rain or snow, unless specifically rated for wet conditions.
AC and DC ceiling fans both move air beautifully—but they do it a little differently. AC-motor fans are the classic choice, often more budget-friendly and typically paired with standard wall controls, while DC-motor fans are known for their quieter operation, energy-efficient performance, and more precise control (often with more speeds and a remote). If you want a fan that feels sleek, smooth, and exceptionally efficient—especially for bedrooms and everyday comfort—DC is the upgrade you’ll notice.
Installation
Yes — Arranmore ceiling fans can be installed on sloped or vaulted ceilings using the included mounting hardware. However, sloped-ceiling installation is supported only up to a maximum ceiling angle, depending on the model.
Most Arranmore fandeliers are compatible with slopes up to 15.5°, while the standard ceiling fan models can accommodate slopes up to 19°.
For safe installation and optimal airflow, the fan should be mounted with at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the blades, and at least 18 inches of clearance from any wall.
Yes! In in most cases, you can install an Arranmore ceiling fan in place of an existing light fixture, as long as the electrical box and ceiling structure are suitable for supporting a ceiling fan.
Before installation:
Check the ceiling box: A standard lighting-only electrical box is often not strong enough for a fan’s weight and vibration. Ceiling fans require a fan-rated box or a support brace that’s properly secured to a ceiling joist or beam.
Verify support: If the current box is not fan-rated, you’ll need to replace it with a fan-rated box or install additional support so the fan is safely anchored.
Electrical compatibility: Most ceiling fans are designed to replace a standard junction box for power and control wiring, so the existing wiring can typically be used with the fan’s canopy and canopy screws.
Once the support and wiring are confirmed, the fan can be mounted where the light fixture was, replacing the old fixture with the new ceiling fan.
No — professional installation is not required. Most Arranmore ceiling fans are designed for straightforward installation and can be installed by many homeowners using the included instructions.
If you’re comfortable with basic household wiring and mounting a fixture to a fan-rated ceiling box, you can typically install the fan yourself. The manual does note that if you don’t have enough electrical experience or are unsure about the wiring, it’s always a good idea to consult a licensed electrician for safety.
Professional installation may be helpful in situations like very high or sloped ceilings, replacing a non–fan-rated electrical box, or anytime you want extra peace of mind.
Installing an Arranmore ceiling fan typically requires a few basic tools that most DIYers already have on hand.
According to the manual and standard installation practices, you’ll want the following:
🛠 Basic Tools
Screwdrivers — both flat-head and Phillips
Adjustable wrench or socket set — for securing nuts and bolts
Pliers — needle-nose or standard
Wire cutters / strippers — to trim and prepare electrical wires
Electrical tape — for securing wire connections
📏 Layout & Safety Tools
Tape measure — to confirm clearances and downrod length
Level — to make sure the fan hangs straight
Pencil — for marking mounting points
📌 Installation Support
Ladder or step stool — to reach the ceiling safely
Fan-rated electrical box (existing or new) — a secure ceiling box is required to support your fan
These tools will help with mounting the fan bracket, wiring the fan to your ceiling box, and securing the canopy and blades. Arranmore ceiling fans come with all the necessary screws, hardware, and instructions you need — you just supply the basic tools above.
If you’re missing anything or unsure about electrical work, you can always have a friend help or consult a professional for peace of mind.
Controls & Smart Features
1. Make sure the fan direction is set correctly
Fan direction affects airflow depending on the season.
Summer: Run the fan so it pushes air downward for a cooling breeze
Winter: Reverse the motor at low speed to circulate warm air
2. Check installation height and placement
Ceiling fans perform best when they’re installed centered in the room with proper clearance below the blades. Make sure the fan is mounted at least 7 feet above the floor, or closer to 8 feet when possible for the strongest, most comfortable airflow.
3. Consider using a longer downrod (if applicable)
If your ceiling is high, a longer downrod can improve airflow by positioning the fan closer to the living space.
4. Confirm the reverse switch isn’t in neutral
If the reversing switch is stuck in the middle, airflow may be reduced or the fan may not run properly.
Make sure the switch is pushed fully to one side.

Remote Control Included
Yes! Arranmore ceiling fans include a handheld remote control for convenient operation of both the fan and light.
What Can the Remote Control Do?
The included remote allows you to control:
Fan speed (1–6)
Fan on/off
Light on/off and dimming
Forward/reverse rotation
Sleep timer settings
Natural Breeze and Vacation Mode features
What if I have an existing wall switch?
Arranmore ceiling fans are designed to be operated with the included remote control system. Your existing wall switch can still be used to turn power on and off to the fan, but it should remain a simple ON/OFF switch so the remote receiver has constant power.
We do not recommend using dimmer switches or variable speed wall controls, as they can interfere with or damage the remote receiver
Questions About Your Remote?
If you need help with pairing or replacement, contact our support team:
Yes — while Arranmore ceiling fans are designed to be operated primarily with the included remote control, you can also add a compatible in-wall control for convenient wall-mounted operation.
Arranmore offers a variety of wall control options for both DC motor and AC motor standard ceiling fans and fandeliers. These controls are designed to work with the fan’s receiver system and provide an alternative to a handheld remote.
You can view all available wall remote and control options here:
https://arranmorelighting.com/collections/fan-remote-controls
Important: Do not install a standard dimmer or variable-speed wall control, as these can interfere with or damage the fan’s remote receiver. Always use an approved Arranmore wall control for safe, reliable performance.
Yes! Arranmore ceiling fans with integrated or optional light kits include dimmable lighting. Brightness can be adjusted using the included remote control.
To ensure compatibility and prevent damage, dimming should always be done through the remote system, as wall dimmer switches are not recommended for Arranmore fans.
Yes! Arranmore ceiling fans differ depending on the lighting system used. Modern ceiling fans like the Cormac and Ravian, feature integrated LED light kits, allow you to adjust the LED color temperature directly with the included remote, cycling through multiple settings from warm white to daylight (2700K–5000K).
In contrast, Arranmore fandeliers use standard replaceable LED bulbs rather than an adjustable LED module.
Because of this, fandeliers do not offer remote-controlled warm/cool switching, but you can still customize the light color by choosing bulbs in your preferred color temperature, as long as they meet the fixture’s specifications.
Arranmore ceiling fans do not currently include built-in smart home connectivity, so they cannot be directly connected to Alexa, Google Home, or other smart home apps. These fans are operated using the included remote control system.
If you’d like smart control, one alternative is to use an aftermarket hub such as the Bond Bridge (sold separately). Bond Bridge can allow customers to connect Arranmore fans to their existing smart home system for voice commands and app-based control.
Troubleshooting & Support
1. A small amount of wobble is normal
Ceiling fans may have slight movement during operation, and this is not usually a defect.
2. Check the downrod set screws
Wobbling is often caused by loose set screws in the downrod support.
Tighten both set screws securely in the downrod support
Tighten the set screw in the hanger ball assembly
3. Make sure the hanger ball is seated correctly
If the groove in the hanger ball isn’t aligned with the tab in the mounting bracket, the fan can wobble.
Rehang the fan so the tab fits securely into the groove.
4. Confirm the mounting bracket and outlet box are secure
A loose ceiling outlet box or bracket is a common cause of excessive wobble.
Tighten the hanger bracket screws and ensure the outlet box is firmly fastened.
5. Still wobbling? Consider a longer downrod
If possible, using a longer downrod can improve stability and airflow in certain spaces.

1. Check for loose screws
Most fan noise comes from screws that have loosened over time.
Make sure all screws in the motor housing are snug (do not overtighten).
2. Inspect wire connectors inside the housing
Sometimes wire connectors can rattle against each other or the interior of the switch housing.
Turn power off and ensure connectors are secure and not vibrating.
3. Avoid incompatible wall controls
Some fan motors are sensitive to solid-state or variable speed controls, which can create noise.
Solid-state controls are not recommended—use an alternative control method such as the included remote.
4. Confirm installation is secure
Noise can also occur if mounting hardware is loose.
Check that the hanger bracket and outlet box are firmly fastened to prevent vibration.
