"Paul figured out why my ceiling fans were behaving badly, turning on when they were not supposed to and running at speeds of their own choosing. He also changed two old outlets. He was patient, pleasant, and professional. I will definitely call him again!"
Mr. Dove didn't do the work. It was two of his employees or subcontractors. The installation of the wiring, ceiling fan and ceiling light went fine, but the drywall repair wasn't that good. The texture they sprayed on the walls didn't even remotely match the existing wall texture, so their patch job was obvious. Also, they didn't reconnect something in one of the outlets so only the top socket worked. When I notified Mr. Dove, he came out the next day to fix it. I was impressed by Mr. Dove's professionalism, and would hire him again provided he did the work.

"It went very well! We had two ceiling fans installed, and Bryan brought a crew of 3 to work on fans simultaneously. We had dimmer switches that had to be replaced(ceiling fans don't work with dimmers), and they had the parts needed in their truck. The price was less than expected."
"I replaced two of my ceiling fans. I wish I was able to give this company and their staff 100 stars. I recommend them highly and will tell all of friends about my experience."
"Installed ceiling fan explaining option pertaining to electrical switches which I liked. Installed CFCI switch and replaced existing light fixture. I did supply the ceiling fan, light fixture and CFCI switch which was my choice. He did quote me $150 to $200 and we did get charged the $200. I think I should have clarified in the pricing prior to contract if the CFCI switch would have been included in pricing. Worked diligently for 3 hours and the time frame was 3-4 hrs."
"they made damage to the ceiling drywall, cracked it, poked holes in it, made larger holes than necessary for the lights and they just said that all they do is install the lights and don't do drywall work. how stupid and lazy - awful business mentality. craftsmen ship was horrible."
"I gave power systems electric a call and was greeted by a very polite woman. I explained the work I wanted to have done. 14 can lights and 5 ceiling fans in my brand new home. My house is brand new built this year (2014) single story with direct attic access. Every room has a pre-installed J-box in the center of the room with wiring to the wall switch. It's a very easy job with no old ceiling fan to remove or wires to run/fish. She gave me a retail cost of $89 per can light and $75 per ceiling fan. There is a small discount for Angie's list customers of 10% which is nice but not big enough to see a big price differential. I explained a large job of this sort should require bulk deal pricing and she disagreed although to be fair she attempted to "talk to her husband" to get a better price. After a reasonable amount of time she called back bu the answer was no. The company is reputable and pleasant to talk to but don't expect reasonable pricing regardless of the amount of work you have."
"Mark and the crew were always very reliable! My pond electrical has never failed, the kitchen and entry way lights are working fine years later as well as the ceiling fans and added/adjusted electrical outlets."
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.
The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example:
Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.
Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.
Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.
Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
Coffered ceilings often come with additional embellishments and accessories, including tin panels, medallions, trim, molding, recessed lights, and finials. Whether you’re looking for a simple grid pattern or want an elaborate, decorative ceiling with all the bells and whistles, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Since the cost of installing a ceiling fan is $250 for most homeowners, it might be beneficial to replace your existing fan if you are experiencing a significant repair issue, like a broken motor. However, for less expensive repairs, like a fan blade replacement, you’ll likely spend less on the repair than a complete fan replacement. Of course, if you’re looking for an upgrade or a new style fan, replacing it altogether is always an option.
If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.
