About CeilingFans.com.au
Your trusted Australian resource for ceiling fan expertise
Our Story
CeilingFans.com.au was founded in 2024 by a group of home improvement enthusiasts who noticed a significant gap in the Australian market: there was no dedicated, comprehensive resource helping homeowners navigate the sometimes overwhelming world of ceiling fan selection. Having spent years renovating our own Queensland and New South Wales homes, we understood firsthand the difference a well-chosen ceiling fan makes to comfort, energy bills, and home aesthetics.
What started as a weekend project to document our research has grown into Australia's most comprehensive ceiling fan resource. Our team has collectively tested and researched over 200 ceiling fan models, from compact 76cm units perfect for inner-city apartments to massive 152cm commercial-grade fans for warehouse conversions and large open-plan living spaces. We've measured airflow rates, recorded decibel levels during sleep-mode operation, assessed build quality, and evaluated the real-world energy consumption of DC versus AC motor technologies.
Living in Australia means dealing with extreme heat, and we believe every Australian home deserves effective, efficient cooling. Ceiling fans remain one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain comfort throughout our scorching summers, using up to 90% less electricity than air conditioning systems. Our mission is to help you find the perfect fan for your specific needs, whether you're looking for a whisper-quiet bedroom fan, a statement piece for your living room, or a robust outdoor fan for your covered patio or alfresco area.
We take pride in our independence and objectivity. While we do earn a small commission from Amazon when you purchase through our links (at no extra cost to you), our recommendations are based purely on our research, testing, and the real-world experiences of Australian homeowners. We never accept payment for positive reviews, and we're not afraid to point out when a fan doesn't live up to its marketing promises.
