Matthews Fan Company Molly Ceiling Fan

To determine the fan size, you need to find the diameter of the fan.

We recommend turning the fan off before you measure the fan to ensure an accurate measurement.

Once the fan is off, use a ladder to reach the fan.

Use a tape measure and hold it from the end of the fan blade to the middle of the fan.

For fans with an even number of blades, measure from one end of one fan blade to the opposite end of another blade. This measures the full diameter of the fan.

For fans with an odd number of blades, measure from the tip of the blade to the center of the fan. This measures the radius of the fan. Once you have the radius, multiply by two to get the diameter of the fan.

Yes, you can leave ceiling fans running 24/7. However, we do not recommend running them that long because they only circulate one room at a time. Ceiling fans only provide cooling effects for occupants in the room. It is also important to note that leaving the ceiling fans on all day can waste electricity and add to the wear and tear of the fan’s motor. When a room isn’t occupied, the fan running is a waste of energy and money.
