"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

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.

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 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. 

Essential tools for ceiling fan installation include a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a circuit tester. If the ceiling is angled or features unique configurations, ensure the availability of a compatible mounting bracket.

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.
