Placement Guidance

Choose any reliable 1200mm (48") BLDC ceiling fan.

Use one centrally mounted fan for this room.

Compare air delivery in CMM, BEE rating, warranty, noise, and service availability before buying.

Common questions

What fan size is best for a 12×12 room?

A 12×12 ft room is 144 sq.ft. At a 10 ft ceiling without AC, this calculator suggests one 1400mm fan under its coverage assumptions. Enter your actual ceiling height and AC use, then check the chosen model's air delivery and installation requirements; the calculator does not measure CMM.

What is the difference between 1200mm and 1400mm fans?

The nominal sweep differs by 200mm: 1200mm is commonly called 48-inch, and 1400mm 56-inch. Larger sweep does not establish a particular model's CMM, noise, or efficiency. Compare rated airflow and power for the models you shortlist.

How do I choose the right ceiling fan size?

Enter room width, length, ceiling height, and AC use above. The calculator compares 900mm, 1200mm, and 1400mm options using planning coverage and room-shape assumptions. Then compare the rated air delivery of actual models and ask an installer to confirm placement and clearance.

What is CMM in a ceiling fan?

CMM means cubic metres per minute, a fan's rated air delivery under test conditions. Compare CMM between fans of the same sweep, along with watts and service value (CMM divided by watts). This calculator does not take a model's CMM as input.

What fan size suits a hall or drawing room?

Measure the hall's width and length. A long room or separate seating and dining zones may need more than one fan, and the calculator considers both area and the longest side. Have a qualified installer check mounting and clearances for the exact model.
