Get the Most From Your Fan With Ceiling Fan Accessories
When you’re installing a new ceiling fan, you need the right ceiling fan mounting hardware and accessories. Before purchasing a ceiling fan mounting bracket, consider the ceiling where you’re installing the fan: Is it flat or sloped? How high is it? For a flat ceiling, a flush mount fan kit is probably all you’ll need. In areas like a great room or a bedroom with a vaulted or sloped ceiling, you’ll need to purchase an angled ceiling fan mount.
Pay attention to how high your ceiling is. Lowe’s carries kits, specifically designed for close-to-the-ceiling installation, that are perfect for low ceilings. For some ceilings, you’ll need a downrod to get the most benefit from your fan. If you have particularly high ceilings, you can use a ceiling fan downrod coupler to connect two downrods and bring your fan closer for better comfort.
Now think about convenience. Some fans come with a remote, but if yours doesn’t, you can get a universal ceiling fan remote and control your fan from the comfort of your chair or couch. Look for added features, such as light control, a timer and a dimmer, which you’ll find on some Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remotes.
Upgrade the look of your fan with a decorative ceiling fan pull chain. Different colors, finishes and medallions make it easy to accent your décor or create a unique look.
And, if the switch on your fan ever fails, you can pick up an easy-to-install ceiling fan switch. Find models to replace either the fan switch or light switch — whichever suits your need.
