The Westinghouse Widespan 7224900 is a 100-inch indoor ceiling fan for high-clearance spaces, with six speeds and direct structural mounting.
What works
- Six-speed remote control with reverse and timer functions
- Manufacturer documents high-speed airflow and power
What doesn't
- Requires at least ten feet of floor-to-blade clearance
- Large span and structural mounting limit suitable locations
Who it's for
Good fit
- Large indoor spaces with appropriate structural support and blade clearance
- Keeping floor space free while circulating air
Look elsewhere if
- Standard ceiling-box replacement without structural planning
- Low ceilings or outdoor exposure
Check the ceiling before the CFM
The practical first decision is whether this fan fits the building. Westinghouse's product page specifies indoor use, downrod installation, and direct attachment to the structure. It includes a 24-inch downrod and a six-speed remote.
The owner's manual requires a minimum ten feet between the floor and blade edge, plus unobstructed rotation and qualified installation. Ten feet is a blade-clearance requirement, not the minimum ceiling height. Allow for the fan's drop as well as its 100-inch span. The manual gives a net weight of 39.20 pounds.
Read the rating in context
The 7224900 specification sheet lists high-speed airflow of 20,483 CFM, 75 RPM, 1.55 amps, and 115 watts. Those are high-speed values, not a measured average for your room or every remote setting. The operating-cost estimate below uses the documented wattage; change the usage assumptions to explore your schedule.
The sheet gives a 33-inch canopy-to-bottom-of-blade dimension. That is a defined drawing measurement, so we do not relabel it as the overall assembled height. Check the full drawing and installation configuration before ordering.
Choosing an alternative
A permanent overhead fan can preserve usable floor area. That advantage only helps when structural access, clearance, and a suitable electrical installation are available. If those are uncertain, compare other ceiling fans or a portable floor format before committing to this span.
Use the calculator's circulation view to understand the distinction between moving indoor air and replacing it outdoors. This is a documentation-based assessment; we have not measured this fan's noise, occupied-zone airspeed, or room coverage.
Verdict
Shortlist the Widespan after confirming the mounting structure and available clearance. Its large span and remote controls suit a permanent circulation layout; a smaller fan may fit where this installation cannot.
Questions people ask
- Can the 7224900 use a standard ceiling-fan box?
- Westinghouse specifies mounting directly to the building structure. Have a qualified installer assess the support and follow the exact-model manual.
- Is the warranty fifteen years?
- The current manufacturer documentation states a limited lifetime motor warranty and a two-year warranty on all other parts. It is not a single fifteen-year warranty.
- Does 20,483 CFM provide fresh air?
- That is the documented high-speed circulation rating. A ceiling fan moves indoor air; the number does not establish outdoor-air ventilation.

Put 20,483 CFM in context
The Westinghouse Widespan 7224900 100-Inch Ceiling Fan has a listed airflow of 20,483 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.
| Room | Size | Nominal room volumes / hour | Nominal pass interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-car garage | 22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³ | 517× | 7 s |
| Two-car garage | 22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³ | 310× | 12 s |
| Workshop | 40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³ | 85× | 42 s |
| Warehouse bay | 100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³ | 15× | 3.9 min |
A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.
Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.
