where is your a/c return?

I don't think that's the place to put one to circulate the air. It will circulate it up top, but won't make a difference to the bottom.

Ceiling fan in a foyer? Never seen one before either. Sounds like a terrible idea.

Personally, I agree. I have ceiling fans throughout the house, but in general I don't like them. They are aesthetically distracting. Unless you're planning on doing a very unique fan that you love, I wouldn't put it a location that will give the first impression of your home.

Anyone has experienced in what specs to look for in a ceiling fan.? I have a two_storied foyer (cathedral ceiling). Need a ceiling fan to circulate air. Please comment if you have experience w purchasing a ceiling fan.
