Within this category you will find an unparalleled combination of form, function, and design. From classic to contemporary styling, all Minka Aire fans have been engineered for superior performance and to provide maximum comfort in even the largest rooms. Something for every décor and budget
The architectural trend toward Great Rooms has lead Minka Aire to redesign some of their most popular styles with enlarged bodies and longer blades to circulate more air and complement the spaciousness of these rooms.
As demonstrated with their Outdoor Series of ceiling fans, an al fresco lifestyle no longer has to mean comfort at the expense of style. Your patio or gazebo can now be as attractive and welcoming as your living room.
Whatever your lifestyle or style preference, Minka Aire offers something for every application in your home.
1. My remote control is not working correctly. What should I do?
• Please check the following possible reasons & solutions before you contact your local distributor: o Check your batteries to see if it needs to be replaced. o Check the dipswitches in both the remote and the receiver to make sure both are in the same position. o If the switches are in the correct position and the remote is not functioning, the alternative cause could be the receiver in the fan. o Check the wall switch by flipping it on and off, then retry. o If all fails, please contact us to replace the remote.
2. My fan is wobbling. How do I make it stop?
• Minka fans are designed to operate smoothly and effectively. A wobbling fan is a direct result of an incorrect assembly of the junction box. • Please follow the steps below to secure the problem: o Make sure that the “J” box is directly secured to the ceiling joist. o If wobbling persists, use the balancing kit to help secure the fan. o Check all assembly screws to make sure all are properly tightened.
3. My fan is making a clicking sound. How do I make it stop?
• Check to see if a screw or nut is loose. • Check the fan pole mounts to make sure it's secured. • Check the mounting bracket located under the canopy to make sure it's secured. • Make sure that all your screws and nuts are tightened
4. What size downrod should I buy and where do I get them?
• To determine the downrod size, you must determine how long the blade is from the top of the housing. Then, measure from the ceiling to the floor and subtract 7ft from your measurement. • Ceiling fans should not be more than 7ft from the floor. • Subtract 1ft from the blade to the housing measurement which will equal the measurement for the downrod size. • Example: 12ft (ceiling) – 7ft = 5ft – 1ft = 4ft downrod • If you have a standard ceiling that is 8ft high, the purchased fan should include a 3 ½ downrod for installation (does not include the San Francisco fan and Flyte fan). • Downrods can be purchased here at LightingDirect.
5. How low should a ceiling fan hang?
• Ceiling fans should not hang any lower than 7ft from the floor.
6. How close to a wall can I put a ceiling fan?
• A ceiling fan should be placed no closer than 18” to the wall.
7. My fan sounds like it is grinding or humming, What is wrong?
• Follow the steps below: • Check the wall switch to see if there is a regular dimmer on the wall. This may create a restrictive power to the fan causing the motor to not operate properly. • Check the glass where the dimmer attaches to the light kit. Make sure it is tightened. • Check the light bulb to see if it is touching the glass.
8. Can a fan remote wall control be mounted in a multiple gang junction box?
• Yes. The wall remote is designed to fit into a standard wall receptacle.
9. I have a remote control fan and it turns on and off on its own. What is wrong?
• The remote controls are designed to use radio frequency to control the fan and lights. The cause of your remote turning on and off on its own may be because it is picking up another radio frequency. They are designed to pick up any range up to 40ft. If you have multiple fans in your home using different remotes, you will need to change the individual remotes to different frequencies.
10. Do I need to purchase an outdoor light kit for my outdoor fan?
• If your outdoor fan is located in a wet or damp environment, YES, you will need to purchase a compatible outdoor light kit. • If your outdoor fan is located in a dry location where moisture will not be an issue, NO, you will not need to purchase an outdoor light kit.
11. What is the difference between damp and wet locations?
• Damp: Area where moisture is present but not direct. For example: bathrooms. • Wet: Area where moisture is direct. i.e. exposed to rain elements
12. Can I hang a ceiling fan from a plastic junction box?
• It is NOT recommended that a ceiling fan be hung from a plastic junction box. The “J” box should be metal and rated as a ceiling fan “J” box. These items can be purchased at your local hardware store.
13. How close can I mount the (F528) San Francisco ceiling fan?
• The San Francisco fan includes a 12” pre-wired downbridge hanging system. The closest you can hang the fan is 14-3/16”.
14. What is the smallest ceiling fan that Minka Aire makes?
• The smallest ceiling fan that we make is the Supra 32” fan. It comes with 6 blades and a 22 degree blade pitch for maximum air movement in small places.
15. Can the fan/lights work independently of each other with a remote?
• Yes. Each of our fan/light controls are designed to operate separately.
