What are the advantages of outdoor ceiling fans that are UL listed?

UL listed outdoor ceiling fans have many advantages that will withstand the elements so that they will have a longer life while outdoors. These types of ceiling fans have features such as sealed/moisture resistant motors, rust resistant housing, stainless steel hardware, and all weather blades, all to help serve your patio needs.

What types of UL-ratings should I look for when purchasing an outdoor ceiling fan?

Before investing in an outdoor ceiling fan make sure that it is UL rated for wet and damp locations. For example wet locations are usually areas that experience direct contact with water or rain. Damp locations are areas like your covered patio or screened off areas.

Can you suggest outdoor ceiling fans that are both decorative and UL listed?

A good start to steer you away from the traditional outdoor ceiling fan types are with our Fanimation and Monte Carlo Fan lines. Their tropical ceiling fan, Cozumel ceiling fan, twig ceiling fan and Mandalay ceiling fan are all UL listed options that will definitely add interest to your outdoor patio.

Can I use an indoor ceiling fan for my covered patio/porch?

"Indoor" ceiling fans are made specifically for indoor use only. "Indoor" ceiling fans are not manufactured for usage in areas that might undergo the elements of nature. Also keep in mind using an indoor ceiling fan for the outdoors would also void any warranty that it might have.
