"I've hired Redstone Electric for two different jobs. I was very pleased with both projects. Josh is very professional (he knows what he's doing). He installed numerous LED ceiling lights inside and outside the house. Also replaced all my under counter kitchen cabinet lights with the new Led lights. Everything came out perfectly. Always did a neat and tidy job. Very happy!"

"Brian came two days after the tropical storm to ascertain the extent of water intrusion from the rain. He checked the breakers and found the source. I ordered new light fixture to replaced the flooded porch lamp and, while I had him there, fixed a bad overhead fan (not storm related.) Did the whole job at reasonable cost over two days. Highly recommend!"

"They needed to run power inside a 14 inches ceiling for two ceiling fans, with no attic space. I pictured a lot of holes in walls and ceilings, but it was amazing what they did with just a few cuts. Extremely careful, clean, courteous, and prompt. Scott S"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

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.

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.

In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.

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.
