Once you decide to have a ceiling fan installed in your house, you must choose one you like. These fans can be simple to luxurious in function and price. It’s up to you and your budget how fancy you want to get with your fans.  Here is a quick guide to the costs:

• Powder-coated – The least expensive of all types of ceiling fans are those with powder-coated metal blades. These are good enough for general use, but they aren’t particularly attractive.
• Decorative fans – Decorative ceiling fans are the most attractive and range in price from moderate to high depending on your personal preferences. Most are well within the affordable range for the average income earner. Fans with lighting fixtures built-in, are more expensive but are also quite popular.
• Stainless steel – Fans with stainless steel blades are ideal in areas where salty air tends to corrode the cheap blades. 
• Timber blades – Ceiling fans with timber blades are one of the most expensive types, but they are quite attractive. They are also quieter when in operation and are ideal for the bedroom so as not to disturb your sleep.
