How far down (from the ceiling) does the fan hang?

You have two choices. I believe you can hang with or without the extention rod if length is an issue.

Im not sure whether you can hang it low enough but you can always invest 1 or 2 dollars for chain extension, which is probably safer since the lower the fan is the closer it is to head and raised hands. I have a small bedroom and find this fan to be more than adequate.

It hangs down more than 12 inches. I would say more like 18 inches, it is a big unit. Can't remember if it had the option to mount flush to the ceiling....if it did I think we would have done it that way. We love this heater fan and are very glad we put it in. If you can make it fit, you will be very happy.

The room (kitchen) where I have the fan is a 12' slanted ceiling. We used the rod. The light/fan looks like it could hang 6 to 8" from the ceiling and have the fan effective. I am "most" happy with the Fanaway! Have had it for almost a year now--Get it....You will love it!

It hangs from a short tube that's included with the parts. Altogether, the lowest part of the fan assembly is about 9" below the ceiling. We have an 8' ceiling in the room so it is comfortably out of the way. I don't know it can be flush mounted any higher, but one of the other answerers says there is a separate adaptor available to do this.

I hung mine in the dinning room and I have a very high ceiling. It should be hanging about another foot lower. However, it does look beautiful. It CANNOT be extended since it is not a regular electrical cord.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

My fan is not flush mounted and I also didn't use an extra 2 inch extension that came with it. My fan measures approx. 18.5 inches from ceiling to bottom of the light fixture. Hope this helps.

Hang it from the ceiling, but be sure to use springs at the attachment points, because of the vibration from the cheap out of balance fans they use.

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!

The fan hangs 8 1/2 inches down to the housing for the electrical or optional lighting. It is flush with the ceiling. I have it in my guest room, and the person using this room is 6'3" tall. The fan is quiet, does not shake and it is efficient. It looks great and works out perfectly. Hope this helps, we are happy we made the purchase

I don't think this is possible. I have the smallest down rod and the top of the fan hangs 5 1/2 inches from the ceiling. It is a beautiful fan but I would not try to flush mount it. I often try to make things work and I could see getting a rod that is an inch or so shorter but that is as far as I would go.

My fan is not flush with the ceiling. It has about an 8-10inch drop. The shade sits about another 3-4inces from the blades, which gives me an overall drop of nearly the 15inches you are looking for. I'm pleased with the look of mine. Hope this helps.

The Metropolitan ceiling fan comes with a 12" and 6" down-rod standard. With a 6" down-rod and the motors oriented downward the fan hangs 16 1/2" down from ceiling (ceiling to bottom point of the fan).Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

1. The specs probably give exact measures. Mine is about 14 to 15 inches from light to ceiling.2. Not sure if there is an optional shorter extension. 3. It fairly quiet and air flow is fine. It is a higher quality fan.

i hangs down about 5", there are fans that are quieter and a lower profile.

I have around 10 foot ceilings and the fans drop down between 1 1/2 to 2 ft off wall. These are great fans and I bought four with no problems.
