The Fan Connection

Fan Connection was created to make choosing a ceiling fan as easy as loving how it looks. We curate fans by style, size, and ceiling height so you get options that actually fit your room and your design vision. Every fan we carry is selected for quiet performance, reliable airflow, and long-term value—not just looks. Whether you’re a homeowner, designer, or builder, we’re here to help you quickly find the right fan, with clear guidance and friendly support at every step.

We started in 1979. We know a thing about ceiling fans. Unlike most department stores this is our specialty. With our Jaqcueline, Trooper, and Tony. You are in good hands. One thing that always supprises me is customers from 20 years ago will come in saying they bought a fan from us and they need help. They still ask for George (Founder) and Jaqueline (Current Owner).
My Personal Favrite Fan

  • 5/5 None N.

    Stopped in today 9/30/2022 needed a fan switch due to having a broken switch and let me just say you will be taken care of. The owners are very helpful,polite, and knowledgeable. If you need a mom and pop shop that will give you a hometown feel this is your place. No attitude or big box I don't see you there shenanigans just good how may I help you service. Their shop is small and easily over looked from just driving by, but let me tell you make the u-turn if you want solid customer service. Also say hello to the sweet pupper they have there. This is a great fan store. Forget about the big guys set your feet into old school you matter treatment.

    Stopped in for a living room ceiling fan. Very helpful, attended to me promptly and steered me right to what I was looking for, a reasonably priced, quality, white indoor ceiling fan with LED and remote, which they had sitting on the showroom floor, in stock. Thanks again! Great local fan shop!

    We purchased several fans for our new house and Jacqueline couldn’t have been more helpful. We highly recommend anyone searching for a fan, or lighting to go with it, to give The Fan Connection an opportunity. You won’t be disappointed.
