"I am very happy with the service we received from Mr. Electric. We replaced all of our old smoke detectors, installed a new ceiling fan, repaired a bad breaker and got an overdue tune-up on our breaker panel. They are easy to schedule an appointment with and they arrived on time! They are very professional. We will definitely use them again."

"Project required mounting a ceiling fan from a 22’ vaulted ceiling. Our two technicians did a great job with the install and were careful to not damage the flooring or walls with the huge ladder required for the job. Both were very professional and polite. I definitely recommend these pros."

"Sammy came out and moved our dryer outlet from near the floor to a space higher up for better access, and to get it out of the way of our dryer vent hose so our dryer would fit in the cabinet. The original outside-the-wall receptacle was removed and a new junction box added into the wall in its place. A conduit was run from that junction box up inside the wall to another junction box with the new receptacle. This took approximately 2 hours.
Sammy found that the wall in the w/d closet was disintegrating near the floor, but managed to use a bit of wood to secure the junction box at the floor.
Also had Sammy connect our overhead light and fan in our living room to the appropriate switch in that room. The overhead is run via a conduit up the wall and along the ceiling, outside the wall. It starts at a junction box in the wall that contains an outlet. The junction box already had a switch loop connection, so this was a pretty simple fix. This took about 5 minutes.

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.

There are many types of ceiling fans available, each designed for different spaces and needs. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type and work well in most rooms. Low-profile ceiling fans are better suited for rooms with low ceilings. Smart ceiling fans can be controlled with a smartphone or voice commands. For larger spaces with ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, large ceiling fans are ideal. Dual-motor fans have two motors to produce more airflow in multiple directions. You can also find energy-efficient or Energy-Star models that can be up to 60% more efficient, as well as fans with built-in lights or retractable blades.
