Information on Hampton Bay Fans

Warranty

• Hampton Bay fans are made in China for Home Depot and come with a lifetime warranty on the motor. If you have a problem with your fan, you can return it to your nearest Home Depot for repair or replacement. Of course, the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, or problems unrelated to the motor. Parts are available online if you opt to repair a malfunctioning fan yourself.

Cost

• Hampton Bay fans range in price from under $50 to over $300, as of 2011. This difference in price is associated mainly with the size, quality and design of the fan. Other factors that influence price include special features, such as a remote control device for the fan.

Function and Style

• Hampton Bay fans are known for silent, efficient operation. Most have a control that reverses the flow of air to send warm air downward during cold weather. Installation is fairly simple and the fans have two installation options -- one for flat ceilings and one for vaulted or sloped ceilings. The fans come in several sizes and modern or traditional styles. Blades may have painted, metal or wood finishes.

Consumer Reviews

• Consumer reviews for Hampton Bay fans are largely favorable, regardless of the price or style of the fan. Consumers appreciate the fans' looks, quiet operation, and ease of installation. A few consumers noted problems with inoperable lights after a few months of service, but overall reviews are positive.
