In which locations is ceiling fan installation typically discouraged?

Ceiling fan installation is typically discouraged in enclosed or low-ceiling areas primarily due to safety and effectiveness concerns. In low-ceiling spaces, ceiling fans can pose a risk for head injuries, as they may be too close to occupants' heads, especially in rooms with lower heights. Additionally, in enclosed areas where air circulation is limited, a ceiling fan may not function effectively, as the fan's ability to move air can be hindered.

In contrast, ceiling fans are generally appropriate in spaces like living rooms and bedrooms where they can improve airflow and comfort. They can also be beneficial in outdoor patios, provided they are rated for wet or damp conditions. In spacious halls, the higher ceiling allows for safe installation and effective circulation, making them suitable locations for ceiling fans.
