"Always on time; with their quote, came in the time agreed to to start the job. Did a great job on the ceiling can lights, the new fuse box and made minor cuts into the walls and ceiling. He also gave his suggestions when ever possible. I will call him in the future if another opportunity comes for electrical work."

"Friendly service, good responsiveness and communicativeness I had a mysterious issue with my bathroom fan. A number of contractors had inspected it, but they were not able to conclude anything. Thankfully Emelco Electric helped me with it. Scheduling was easy. Iraj communicated with me every step of the way. I had a lot of questions, and Iraj answered everything. When they visited, Amin did a great job inspecting and diagnosing my fan. He carefully inspected the fan, part of the ducting, and the attic. The only downside was he left some dust on the floor. In any case, I appreciate their service and I look forward to working with them again"

"Everything went fine with the exception of the fan install which was pretty tricky - we have some funky wiring done in the 80s by the old homeowner. Otherwise, great - Marcus got out to our house quickly and there were A LOT of lights/switches/exhaust fans to install which were taken care of quickly and at a reasonable price."

"Sepanta Electric – Exceptional Full House Rewire I hired Sepanta Electric for a complete home electrical rewire, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. Ben was a pleasure to work with — patient, communicative, and flexible through multiple change orders without ever making the process feel complicated. The scope of work was extensive: upgrading the main panel from 100A to 200A, installing 2 subpanels, and connecting a 28.8kW electric water heater. Despite the complexity, the project came in on time and on budget with zero delays. What really sets Ben apart is that he works hands-on alongside his team during the electrical work — a rarity that translates directly into savings for the customer and tighter quality control. After getting 6 competing quotes, Sepanta came in at a fair price without cutting corners. Highly recommend Ben and the Sepanta Electric team for any project, big or small."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope.

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.
