"Great. Ian installed a new dimmer switch, rewired a ceiling fixture and installed a new fixture. Ian was nicely dressed. Used "booties" when walking thru house. Cleaned up any messes he made. He was very pleasant to talk to and explained what the problems were and how he would fix them."

"I am certain you can't find a more skilled, honest and fair electrician and tradesman than Gary Fisher and his team is wonderful. I received a quote from another electrician for over $20,000. Gary and his team actually did more work from me at about a third of that $20,000 price I got from a different electrician."

"Tom did an excellent job. We wanted a chandelier lift installed in our foyer that has an 18 foot ceiling. He explained in detail what he would do and answered all questions. He was on time for the installation and finished on schedule. He was meticulousl in the workspace. We are very happy with the result and plan to use Tom again for another project."

"Very rapid response to request for estimate. (almost immediate) Competent, rapid completion of bathroom fan & vanity light installation, vent to soffit, rewire switches. Clean installation (minimal damage to existing sheetrock). Price was a bit high but I did not try to negotiate. Worked on Columbus Day! so job was not delayed. Recommend as a professional and I will hire him again when needed."

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.

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 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.

Identifying the source of noises is your first step to soundproofing a room without overspending. Generally, sound comes from inside or outside of the house. Inside noises include creaking floors, living noises like TVs in the living room, cooking sounds, or kids being kids. External noises generally include incremental weather, disturbing neighbors, and street traffic. Inside noises require you to soundproof floors, ceilings, and doors, whereas outside noises may require you to soundproof your attic, windows, and walls facing the streets.

The direction you want your ceiling fan to move in depends on the season you’re in. During summer, you want it to move counterclockwise to produce a cooling downdraft. During winter, you want it to move clockwise to circulate warm air throughout the room.
