 Differences Between The Commercial and Home Ceiling Fan
 

There are several very distinctive differences between the ceiling fan for commercial use and the fan for domestic use. The ceiling fan for commercial use is larger and more powerful as it generally has to deal with larger spaces such as office floors, restaurants, shops and so on. The commercial ceiling fan was installed with a quieter motor and a more powerful power option. The ceiling fan for the home is a lot smaller and less complicated because it doesn’t need to be as powerful.

 

The commercial ceiling fan can sometimes be described as an industrial ceiling fan depending on its characteristics. Industrial ceiling fans have fewer blades than a domestic one but are stronger and more powerful. The blades on these types of fans are thick and curved and have airflow patterns to maximize the air being distributed around the area. The blades on a ceiling fan for home use are a lot thinner and smaller because they do not need to be as powerful as the area that they cover in a home is smaller. An industrial fan can only be fixed onto a ceiling that is more than 10 feet tall; a domestic ceiling fan can only be placed on a ceiling that is above 6 feet. These height restrictions are put into place for the safety of the people in the house. If a person was to accidently walk or fall into the fan the blades could seriously hurt the person, especially with an industrial fan when the blades are often made from metal materials.

 

Just as the home ceiling fan is used to cool the area and heat it up the commercial ceiling fan acts the same way. The cooling feature can keep areas feel lighter and cooler whereas in the colder months the fan can disperse hot air around the building.
