Is this ceiling fan/heater rated for outdoor (enclosed porch spa) use?

I believe it is as I am using mine on a screened outdoor porch. We absolutely love ours.

I don't believe that this fan is rated for outdoor use, but that is not where I was installing this fan.

This is a terrible fan. The heater is useless; does not heat my12x13 room at all. Also, if you lose the remote its a pain. Wish I had returned it.

I am not sure - we have a newly built 14x16 ft. three season room and live in the Midwest. This past winter we used it to see how warm it would get the room and it seemed that whatever the room temp was the fan raised it by about 10 degrees, so we were happy. But we also invested in insulated windows and door in the initial build too. Hope this helps!

Hi Susan, thank you for the question. The Minka Aire Light Wave is UL Listed for Indoor use only, so it is not designed to be exposed to moisture or harsh elements. Do not install this fan outside your house, or any damp locations. We hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to one of our experts. They are sitting right next to their phones right now, literally. And they know everything :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

It is rated for Wet indoor/outdoor applications. I installed four of them in a shower with no issues.

From the way I interpret the specs is that the fan is suitable for damp locations. I have installed them on a screen porch that is exposed to high humidity. The fans look and work great, and I think that they would look just a good indoors. The fact that they are rated for damp locations does not preclude their installation indoors.

I am currently using outside on my porch without issues. Temp rated 40C to -25C on the box.

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

I am not sure but usually if something went wrong and if the warranty covered it, it would be through the manufacturer not Amazon. Broan makes a good quality built bath fan. I did not hesitate replacing my +20 year old Broan fan with another more powerful and quieter new Broan fan during my remodel project. There are not many fan/light with heater to pick from, this one is working great.

I don't know about the actual rating; but, mine is on a small porch where sometimes it does get wet. Haven't had any problems. The thing to know about this beautiful porch light is that it gives off very little light, more like a glow through the glass. It works for a small porch, but if you want it for outdoor lighting say a sidewalk, then this isn't the one. It is soft, pretty lighting for a small entrance or area. Hope that helps.

If you have a covered porch you could probably put it outdoors, but you will have to make sure it never gets hit by rain. I think you would be better off buying a fan that is specifically made for outdoor use. This one is not.

This fan is wet rated. It is meant for outdoor use. One of the few you could actually use on a perrgola.

I use my fan in my garage. I am located in Southeast Georgia, and relative humidity is always very high. I have not had any problems with its operation or with it rusting. I am glad I bought this fan, and I think you will be happy with the performance and the esthetics. I would recommend it for under a porch awning.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

No. This fan is design for a residential, light commercial installation and is resistant to humidity, only.You should search for an industrial ventilation fan ( or fume hood) and sit down before you check the price. Hope this helps.

This fan is only rated for indoor use as the motors are not sealed for damp us and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

We have not installed it yet, but have looked at it and it's great quality! Ours will be a bathroom chandelier. Manuf. would better be able to respond about an outdoor porch and the elements. I'm sure it would look great, though!

After receiving them and upon inspection, I wouldn't use it for outdoors. The bezel and the pivoting feature includes a gap which moisture and condensation can collect. Please find an sealed outdoor or shower rated type.
