Key Facts — Westinghouse Urban Gale 72021 Ceiling Fan
- Brand: Westinghouse
- Model: Urban Gale 72021
- Type: Ceiling fan without light, with wall control
- Blade span: 132 cm
- Power: max 56 W
- Speeds: 4, two rotation directions
- Room size: up to 30 m²
The Westinghouse Urban Gale is a white ceiling fan with a 132 cm blade span for rooms up to 30 m². Three ABS blades move air at up to 220 rpm, and the fan draws at most 56 W — a fraction of what air conditioning uses to make a hot day feel cooler.
The fan has four speeds and two rotation directions. In summer it pushes air downward for a cooling breeze; in winter the direction reverses so the warm air gathered under the ceiling is gently pushed back down into the room, evening out temperature and potentially lowering heating costs. Speed and direction are set from the included wall control.
Both housing and blades are white, and the model has no light, giving a clean, understated look on the ceiling. The fan is 45 cm high, weighs 5.1 kg and carries CE and GS marking.
When does the Westinghouse Urban Gale make the most sense?
In rooms that already have other lighting, where the fan has one job: moving air. Without a light kit the Urban Gale keeps a lower profile and suits living rooms, bedrooms, offices and premises where ceiling lights sit elsewhere. The wall control means it operates like an ordinary switch, with no remote to lose.
Applications for the ceiling fan
The ceiling fan is used in living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens up to 30 m², in offices, reception areas and smaller shops, and in holiday homes without air conditioning. Winter mode also makes it useful in rooms with high ceilings, a wood stove or an air-source heat pump, where heat otherwise stays trapped under the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What ceiling height does the Westinghouse Urban Gale ceiling fan need?
The fan drops 45 cm from the ceiling, and for safety the blades should sit at least 2.3 m above the floor. That means a ceiling height of roughly 2.75 m or more. In rooms with a standard 2.4–2.5 m ceiling the blades end up too low. The wall control requires fixed electrical installation, to be carried out by a qualified electrician. The ceiling fixing must carry the fan's 5.1 kg plus the vibration generated in operation.
How does winter mode work on the Westinghouse Urban Gale?
The rotation direction is reversed from the wall control so the blades draw air upward instead of blowing down. Warm air collected under the ceiling is then pushed out along the walls and down into the room without creating a draught. Run the fan on a low speed in winter mode. The effect is greatest in rooms with a high ceiling or a heat source such as a wood stove or air-source heat pump.
What separates the Westinghouse Urban Gale from a floor fan or air conditioning?
A floor fan takes up floor space and blows in one direction, while the Urban Gale sits on the ceiling and distributes air through the whole room with its 132 cm blade span. Compared with air conditioning, the fan does not lower temperature, but the air movement makes the room feel cooler — at a maximum of 56 W. The ceiling fan also works year-round thanks to winter mode, which neither a floor fan nor most air conditioners offer.
