"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

There are many types of ceiling fans, from self-automated smart ceiling fans to outdoor ceiling fans that provide additional comfort to your patio. What you choose all comes down to function and personal taste.

Consider your ceiling height when selecting a ceiling fan. Rooms with ceilings under eight feet high will do well with low-profile ceiling fans, also known as flush-mount or hugger ceiling fans. If your home has cathedral ceilings or ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, you’ll need a large ceiling fan with a heavy-duty motor to get adequate air circulation.

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.

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.

Ceiling fans are very often worth the investment because they improve comfort in your living space and help reduce utility bills. In the late spring and early fall—and even in the summer in some areas—homeowners with ceiling fans can often get away with open windows and fans, which can cut down on cooling bills and also reduce wear and tear on the HVAC system. Over time, ceiling fans can pay for themselves by saving you money on electric bills and air conditioner repair and maintenance.

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.
