"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

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.

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. 

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

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.
