Is there a minimum height for a ceiling fan to be installed from the floor? Is it in the NEC? Or any other codes say anything about that?
Thanks

The lowest I`ve seen them was 8ft. From the floor to the blades. I don`t know if this is code or not.

Well if it's going over a dining room table or any table for that matter, most people use the extension to being it closer to the people sitting down. If not, and the ceiling is 8ft., they don't use the extension. Then if the ceiling is higher than 8ft. extension should be used.

I've seen manufacturers instructions that set the minimum at 7'6".

How about 6" about the head of the tallest person in the house?

Funny you should ask, I was failed at final today for 4 fans that were 6 feet 11 inches from AFF. The inspector said they had to be 7 feet min from the lowest point on the blade to the finished floor. But I don't see it in the code.

useally most mobile home most fan are useally are " hugger" kind or low profile fans but from the floor to fan blade hieght it should be at least 7 feet off from the floor level but if have light kit it can compund it unless you have one of low profile light kit to keep the height better but for reguar resdentail home useally 7 feet or more [ with or with out light kit]
merci , marc
p.s. some local code will set up at higher hieght also so check it out i know i rather keep at least 8 feet for safety reason
