"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

Generally, a ceiling fan should be mounted at least seven feet from the floor in the center of your room with a wall clearance of around 18 inches. If your ceiling is more than eight feet high, it’s recommended by experts that the ceiling fan be mounted around eight to nine feet from the ground. This helps ensure a better quality of circulated airflow.

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.

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.

The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. 

During summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This will push cooler air downward in a column and help lower your room’s air temperature. In the winter, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise and at the lowest speed setting. This will pull cool air upwards, displacing the warm air that pools towards the top of your ceiling and bringing it down towards the floor.

To convert a ceiling fan to wireless, you’ll need to install a canopy module to access the lighting and fan controls. Many options are available, all of which help you control specific elements of your ceiling fan, so you have plenty of choices depending on your needs.
