"We had collected nine different electrical projects, and Tommy's crew of five did them all in less than four hours! They installed a ceiling fan, three ceiling fixtures, put in a new outlet for my pantry, installed two exterior GFI outlets for lighting in the back yard, fixed the front doorbell and ran a CAT5 cable to my husband's "man cave" adjacent to the house. They were totally delightful to work with, did everything quickly and professionally, and cleaned up afterwards. We're definitely going to hire them again!"

"Great business. Victor was prompt with an answer as soon as I contacted him. An appointment was made for a few days after our talk. Victor arrived exactly on time. The work he did was outstanding. I own a newer home and the lights he replaced in my kitchen look so much better now than what had originally been installed by the builder. The LED lights that were suggested by Victor are an upgrade as well. Victor performed the job quickly and efficiently. He was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommended to anyone who needs an electrician to not hesitate to call Tower Power Electric. I will be using Tower Power again. Thank you Victor!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

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. 

The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.

Whether you can install a ceiling fan yourself depends on if you're replacing an existing fixture or installing one where no wiring exists. If you are replacing an existing fan, an experienced DIYer may be able to do the job, which can save on labor costs. This work typically doesn’t require a permit, but there’s always a safety risk when dealing with electrical components, so hiring a pro is still a good idea, especially if you aren't handy. Keep in mind you may need a special ladder for high or vaulted ceilings. However, if you are installing a new ceiling fan where there is no current fixture, you must hire a licensed electrician. In most areas, it is required by law that a professional runs new wiring and pulls the necessary permits. Attempting to install wiring yourself can be dangerous and a code violation.

The more surface area that a ceiling fan blade has, the more effective it will be at producing airflow. Therefore, a longer ceiling fan blade is the better option if you’re looking for more wind. However, a longer blade will consume more energy than a shorter blade.
