"Quick to respond. Did a great job trouble shooting issues with light installation and bathroom fan installation and solved a mystery of why my outside electrical plug wasn?t working. In one day he took care of a collection of little to moderate jobs in a kind, curious and professional manner."

"Fernando did an excellent job and I am keeping his contact info for future needs. He is very professional and shows up on time. He made wonderful suggestions on adding power for outdoor lighting and repair and improvement of a switch. Hi recommendation involved hiding the wiring by hooking the 2 devices up to a double switch on an inside wall. Other bidders suggested attaching almost 20 feet of wiring to the exterior of my house. He explained everything very clearly. He noticed an outdoor outlet that wasn't rain proof and suggested changing that out. Finally, his price was very fair and lower than other bids. I highly recommend FH Electric for any electric needs."

"I worked with Electrical Detectives to upgrade a 45-year-old panel, install pendant lights, upgrade some outlets to GFCI, and replace some existing ceiling fixtures. From estimate to job completion, Jason and his associate Phillip were a pleasure to work with. I was informed each step of the way, and I'm very happy with the end result. The pricing was very reasonable for the scope of work provided. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm for any electrical work."

"Even though I could have done the whole job myself, I wanted to hire a pro who was familiar with current electrical codes as I was very busy with other projects. So I do know a proper job when I see it and Pann of Enlighten Electric does a proper job. He came recommended to us by another friend he had done work for. He listened to what I wanted to do, and suggested better ways to do it in some cases. He is on time, and works diligently without a lot of time wasting or screwing around. He is a non-smoker/non-chewer which I appreciate, and he cleans up after his mess. The inspector passed his work quickly without drama and PG&E had no issues with hooking up the new drop to the new weatherhead. I flipped on the new 200 amp main breaker and we are happy campers (and now super-powered!). Highly recommended."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

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.
