Will a bigger ceiling fan cool a room?
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.
What size fan for 20×20 room?
Select a fan with the appropriate span: 36 inches for rooms up to 100 square feet, 42 inches for up to 200 square feet, 52 inches for up to 400 square feet, and either one 60-inch fan or two 52- or 56-inch fans for rooms larger than 400 square feet.
Is a 52 inch fan too big for a bedroom?
Medium: If your room is up to 12′ x 14′, stick with a fan that is 42″ – 54″ in diameter. Medium rooms include bedrooms and dining rooms. Large: A room that is up to 18′ x 20′ should feature ceiling fan sizes 52″ – 60″ in diameter. This includes family rooms and large bedrooms.
Is it okay to put a big ceiling fan in a small room?
A large ceiling fan in a small room will create a massive amount of airflow and will ultimately be unsafe. So choose a ceiling fan that is proportional to the room size.
