Our Top Ceiling Fan Picks for Summer 2024

Last year we brought you our best seller list. This year, we bring our top ceiling fan picks for this coming summer! And, not surprisingly, there isn’t a lot of difference between the two, with our best selling brands and designs still topping the list this year! So, if you have been thinking ceiling fans, but aren’t quite sure where to start, or haven’t yet landed on a style or brand, this post is for you!

What are the benefits of installing ceiling fans?

Just in case you need a little more information as to why ceiling fans are a good investment, here are some of our top reasons.

• They are a relatively inexpensive choice for helping to cool and heat your
  home;
• They are extremely energy efficient;
• They help to reduce cooling and heating costs in your home by working in
  conjunction with other forms of cooling and heating;
• They are environmentally friendly, helping to reduce your energy footprint;
  They are low maintenance; and
• They can be an added design feature in your home.

Our Top Ceiling Fan Picks for Summer 2024

Hunter Pacific Polar

The Polar fan from Hunter Pacific has topped our best selling ceiling fans list for a number of years, and we expect it to be no different this summer, and there are a number of good reasons for this.

• It has a powerful energy efficient DC motor that produces 13,860m3/hr on high speed
• It has 3 aerodynamic wedge compression ABS polymer blades
• Like all Hunter Pacific fans, it is made with high grade copper windings and silicone steel stator to ensure quiet operation and long life
• It is suitable for installation in indoor or outdoor covered locations
• It is reversible for summer and winter modes
• It is a stylish, yet affordable DC fan option. This will be important this summer, where living costs have never been higher. The Polar range ticks the style, and the function, boxes, all within an affordable price range.

Hunter Pacific have also covered a range of size and finish options with the Polar range, as well as with or without 18W tri-colour dimmable LED light. The full range includes:

• 48″ in matt black or matt white
• 48″ in matt black or matt white with 18W LED light
• 56″ in matt black or matt white
• 56″ in matt black or matt white with 18W LED light

Hunter Pacific Next Creation

It’s another Hunter Pacific design, and another one that has consistently been at the top of our best seller lists. One of the reasons it has been such a popular choice, and we think will again be popular this summer is it’s classic 4 blade design. The Next Creation range embraces it’s traditional fan look, while still giving all the functionality we love in modern ceiling fans.

The Next Creation range includes a 52″ matt white or matt black fan, either with or without 18W LED light. Other features include:

• Powerful and energy efficient DC motor
• Quiet operation
• Fully reversible for summer and winter use
• 9 speed remote control
• Installation in indoor or enclosed alfresco areas

Eglo Surf

Another range of ceiling fans that meet that value for money criteria, is the Surf range from Eglo. The range has been specifically created to bridge the gap between affordability and designer fans. With a distinct wave blade design, and all the functionality we have come to expect from a DC ceiling fan, the Surf range is the perfect all-rounder! It was hard to get in 2023, but we think it will hit the best seller list this summer!

The range includes:

• 48″, 52″ or 60″ sizes in matt white or matt black, with or without light
• 48″, 52″ or 60″ sizes in matt white with oak blades, with or without light
• 48″, 52″ or 60″ in matt black with Burmese teak blades, with or without light

Features of the Surf range include:

• 40W DC motor
• 3 moulded ABS, UV resistant blades
• 6 speed remote control with night mode function included
• 1220mm (48″) blade span
• Airflow: 13,130m3/h on high speed (Speed 6)
• 20W LED tri colour light options

Martec Quantum

It’s a brand new release from Martec, so much so, that on writing this post, we are still a couple of weeks away from getting stock on the shelves! Despite that, we think it will be up there with the best sellers this summer! Why? It’s a DC ceiling fan with an RRP below $200!

Outside this, the Quantum also includes these features:

• 36W DC motor
• 48″ blade span
• 24W CCT LED light
• 6 speed remote control with timer
• Reversible for summer and winter mode from remote
• Unique comfort sleep and breeze mode
• Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor applications

Other ceiling fans to consider this summer

While, they may not top the best seller list this summer, there are some other great ceiling fan designs that will be popular this summer depending on your needs. These include:

• The Hunter Pacific Aqua range – their uniquely Hunter Pacific waterproof title makes the Aqua range perfect for outdoor use;
• The Eglo Noosa range – while they can be at the higher end of the DC fan budget, they remain an ever popular choice for their design aesthetic;
• The Ventair Spinika II – new to our range, the Spinika II has combined their unique “True Spin Technology” with glass fibre composite blades to produce outstanding airflow. Combined with their Quick Connect wiring and fixing assembly, and their mid price point, we think this will be a popular recommendation amongst electricians.
