This one is not. Hunter makes one that is. Google hunter outdoor ceiling fan.

We live in Michigan & bought our fan a year ago. It stayed outside, uncovered but next to the house throughout the worst winter ever and it stil works just fine. My only regret is not to have bought 2 fans.... Good luck!

Yes the fan can be used out doors. If you are concerned about moisture effecting the blades spray some clear shellac.

If you are wanting an outdoor fan look for "Wet" or "Damp" listed fan options! Let us know if you would like some options! :)

Hi Dianna, thanks for the question. It's a good one. This fan has been designed and built to withstand outdoor elements. Most fans are meant for indoor use, and therefore are not built with the Oil-Bath Lubrication System, weather-resistant blades, stainless steel hardware, indestructible cast-iron housing, and the Hunter Original Motor-the most powerful motor available. All of this is factored into not only the value of the fan, but the pricing as well. We hope this helps Dianna. Please, if you have any other questions, reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

I have this fan installed on my front porch. It actually does a decent job on the 2 highest settings. The lowest setting is more for looks.

Yes. This fan is rated for direct contact with insulation. Being a fluorescent bulb, it does not generate very much heat...

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

Yes. It is a very good fan. I use it under my carport. I live in Louisiana with lots of heat and humidity and it does really well. Good purchase.

The power cable is fairly robust and well-insulated, but I would be worried about water getting into the speed control if it rains. As other have said, if the fan is used in an outdoor area that is covered then you should be okay.

I certainly wouldn't want a fan such as this outside in rain just like most electrical appliances. I don't even see certification for use outside be it under covered conditions like patio even. I have use one for inside protected garage tho and its much hard on them. Nickel coating isn't like stainless or hard chrome for that usage.

I would say yes. It's certainly not an industrial fan, but it blows a pretty strong breeze. We've used our on our deck in the summer.
