Hampton Bay Ceiling Fans For Design, Style and Price
A lifetime warranty, fantastic price and incredible choices!

Hampton Bay is the store brand of Home Depot and generally has a high customer satisfaction rating. There are some issues, that if resolved, could increase that rating from a 4.7- 5.0 easily. The downfall is it does not come with an initial battery so you need to purchase 12v garage door battery before installation due to the fact you cannot check operation without it. This is a small issue to contend with since the satisfaction with the product itself is very high. It just a "pain" when you don't realize you need the battery until you "need" it, then have to run out to the store and buy one. However, this is such a small issue since most individuals are really pleased with the fan.

There are some really great innovations by Hampton Bay which makes installing the fan much easier. For instance, they offer the Quick Connect installation which simplifies the assembling and installing the fan unit with less screws and much faster saving time on the installation process. Also, the Gossamer Wind high efficiency blade design was first marketed by Hampton Bay. The Gossamer Wind is a sculpted type blade set of molded plastic and designed to move air throughout the room more efficiently. Hampton Bay offers competitive features such as thermostatic remotes and uplights.

Hampton Bay offers fans which are stylish in their designs and popular notwithstanding the fact that these fans are priced a lot less than fans showcased in other stores. Hampton Bay offers something for everyone from price to size to design. The finishes include antique copper, pewter, bronze and brushed nickel. The blades are also unique and are canvas, natural wood, palm leaves and glass.

Since Hampton Bay has a lifetime warranty, and they are the house brand of Home Depot, you need only to return the fan to Home Depot for a full replacement under warranty. If it's parts you need to repair the fan, replacement parts are available.

Before purchasing a fan, here are some suggestions to consider:

1. Ceiling fans are only appropriate in rooms with ceilings at least eight feet high. Fans work best when the blades are 7–9 feet above the floor and 10–12 inches below the ceiling. Fans should be installed so their blades are no closer than 8 inches from the ceiling and 18 inches from the walls.

2. Larger ceiling fans can move more air than smaller fans. A 36- or 44-inch diameter fan will cool rooms up to 225 square feet, while fans that are 52 inches or more should be used in larger rooms. Multiple fans work best in rooms longer than 18 feet. Small- and medium-sized fans will provide efficient cooling in a 4- to 6-foot diameter area, while larger fans are effective up to 10 feet.

3. A larger blade will also provide comparable cooling at a lower velocity than a smaller blade. This may be important in areas where loose papers or other objects will be disturbed by a strong breeze. The fan should also be fitted to the aesthetics of the room—a large fan may appear overpowering in a small room.

4. A more expensive fan that operates quietly and smoothly will probably offer more trouble-free service than cheaper units. Check the noise ratings, and, if possible, listen to your fan in operation before you buy it.

Hampton Bay ceiling fans can lessen your dependence on running air-conditioning during the summer months and, when the blades are reversed, can help pull the air down to the living area during the cold, winter days and night.
