"Originally hired last week to replace outdoorGFCI plug and fix kitchen plugs that stopped working. At that time I also asked Bill to assess why our Gable Vent fan didn't work. The motor was frozen and fan needed to be replaced. Was quoted a fair price. The electrician, Bill, returned today and replaced old fan with new fan that I purchased. I am very happy with Bill's attention to detail, to ensure my electrical problems were resolved. Will use this company again for any future electrical needs."

"I had Mister Sparky come out to install a ceiling fan at my house and the experience was great from start to finish. The technician was professional, showed up on time, and got everything installed quickly and cleanly. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. If you’re looking for a reliable electrical company that does quality work, I’d definitely recommend Mister Sparky."

"Excellent service. Excellent rates. Another company told us we would have to wait 3 months to replace our electrical power box but this company was able to do it in a few weeks. They were also much less expensive. They were even able to get my power up about 1.5 hours earlier than expected."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Many ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes tend to be made of metal. However, some electrical boxes may also be made of heavy-duty plastic that is reinforced with metal support structures. It may also have an attachment that connects directly to a ceiling joist. If you are ever ensure, consult with a licensed professional to get their insight on best practices and whether the installation is a safe one.

Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a difficult and potentially dangerous job that should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is recommended to hire a certified electrician to build the necessary electrical infrastructure. In some areas, building codes require this work to be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance. Due to the complexity, this type of installation is a significant job that could cost up to $2,000.

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 direction you want your ceiling fan to move in depends on the season you’re in. During summer, you want it to move counterclockwise to produce a cooling downdraft. During winter, you want it to move clockwise to circulate warm air throughout the room.

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.
