Energy Star define hugger ceiling fans as those with only the option of being installed against the ceiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-central-palette-1-background-color has-background\">This point of differentiation would factor in when trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/flush-mount-ceiling-fan-sloped-ceilings\/\">install a flush mount fan on a sloped ceiling<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this may be one reason for the different terms. However, the most likely reason is manufacturer preference, which explains why one brand will almost exclusively use one term and another brand the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/where-hunter-ceiling-fans-made\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17155\">Hunter<\/a>, a very well-known and popular brand, sell <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/flush%20mount%20ceiling%20fan\" target=\"_blank\">flush mount ceiling fans<\/a> but if you look for a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hunterfan.com\/search?q=hugger\" target=\"_blank\">hugger fan<\/a>, you will not find one because they have opted to use flush mount to describe their fans that sit up against the ceiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it happens, searching their site for hugger ceiling fans actually brings up results for &lsquo;Low Profile&rsquo; fans, which is yet another term for these types of installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title='Hunter Fan Company 59248 Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 52\", Fresh White Finish' href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01CDG0BHU?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/316+9TqnqZL._SL500_.jpg\" alt='Hunter Fan Company 59248 Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 52\", Fresh White Finish' title='Hunter Fan Company 59248 Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 52\", Fresh White Finish'><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/316+9TqnqZL._SL500_.jpg\" alt='Hunter Fan Company 59248 Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 52\", Fresh White Finish' title='Hunter Fan Company 59248 Dempsey Indoor Low Profile Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 52\", Fresh White Finish' data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason relating to manufacturer preference could be company marketing strategies, as the term &lsquo;hugger&rsquo; sounds cozy and may help convey that a certain fan is suitable for small spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Flush Mount of Hugger Ceiling Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flush mount or hugger ceiling fans are ideal for rooms with a low ceiling.

Flush mount\/hugger fans can look more minimalistic, tidier, and appropriate in smaller spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks of Flush Mount or Hugger Ceiling Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant limitation of flush mount or hugger ceiling fans is their decreased efficiency. Because they are so close to the ceiling, they aren&rsquo;t able to circulate as much air as downrod fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans circulate air by collecting air by scooping it along the blades and pushing it down. Flush mount or hugger fans have less area above them to collect air from, which decreases circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, these fans shouldn&rsquo;t be used in rooms with high ceilings, as they won&rsquo;t produce enough airflow to fill the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fans can also be noisy as they are too close to the ceiling and turbulence is created as air bounces between the fan and the ceiling. This turbulence can cause wobbling or at least greater vibrations, which create noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears.jpg\" alt=\"Noisy white hugger or flush mount ceiling fan with woman covering her ears\" class=\"wp-image-19406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Noisy white hugger or flush mount ceiling fan with woman covering her ears\" class=\"wp-image-19406 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Noisy-white-hugger-or-flush-mount-ceiling-fan-with-woman-convering-her-ears.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the motor can cause noise because manufacturers may use an inexpensive, less powerful motor to combat the air turbulence.
