The light in our old one, installed before we bought the house ten

high speed for the whole ten years, too.

My husband actually knows how to install one! He has installed three
others in the house.

My question is, what are the factors I should consider when buying
one? We plan to pick one up later today or tomorrow. They seem pretty
cheap, so we could actually get a pretty nice one if there is a
reason to spring for one of the better models.

Hunter *originals* (they sell cheaper ones too) are among the more expensive
fans but it will be the last fine you'll ever need to buy (as long as you
keep oil in the reservoir). Any fan may shake or shimmy unless/until you
balance the blades.
