Hot days and nights are here. Instead of cranking up the AC (and your electric bill), why not buy a new energy-saving ceiling fan instead?

You'll love the fresh breeze from these top-rated ceiling fan models from Wayfair, Lamps Plus and more.


Top products in this article:

Artemis IV soft brass DC large modern fan, $760

Bexley LED propeller ceiling fan light kit, $870 (regularly $920)

Wynd ceiling fan, $375 (reduced from $480)


When it comes to buying a new ceiling fan, consider this: Do you only want a fan, or a fan attached to a light? What style is your room? Does the fan you've picked fit in? How do you want to control your fan -- with a remote or through a switch on the wall? And one more question: How will you tackle installation? (Unless you're handy with wires, you'll likely want to hire someone to install your new fan.)

Below are the best ceiling fans for your home from Lamps Plus, Wayfair, All Modern and more. We found good-looking ceiling fan options for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
