"First, Silk City Electric wasn't the first electrician I hired but a previous electricians helper dropped the ball on showing up on time and he technically had three days (yes, during the Memorial Day weekend) to install 3 4-plug outlets for my network server room and still did not come out on Memorial Day morning like he offered. I couldn't even get him to answer the phone when I called earlier. With all this said Marty from Silk City Electric, LLC happened called me back to see if he could still come out and give me an estimate as promised earlier in the week. So since the previous electrician did not show in the time frame he told me, Marty was my guy! Marty offered to do the work on Memorial Day morning at the price the other electrician (helper) gave. Marty was very professional but very friendly with a great deal of personality. I like professionalism for sure but you will win me over with a great personality and disposition, let alone good work. He performed the work in the time frame he gave me (I think early) and even doubled checked his work before leaving to make sure I was happy with the end result. I will be calling Silk City Electric, LLC for ALL my electrical needs. Fan installation and burned out outlet next! Also should mention Marty has been in the business for over 25 years and given he just started his new company in January 2015, as a small business owner myself, I was happy to give him a shot and he met my expectations."

"They found a problem with the humidistat that was preventing the duct fan from turning on. All I was charged for was the $29 visit fee. The previous contractor that came out said we had a bad fan motor and humidistat (which they kept calling a thermostat - red flag) and quoted us $1500."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

There’s no reason why you can’t install a ceiling fan anywhere in your home, such as in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dining areas. Most bathrooms already have ventilation and don’t need a ceiling fan. For safety purposes, avoid installing a ceiling fan where the blades will be less than eight feet from the floor, near bunk beds, or anywhere else they may hit nearby objects.

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.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

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.
