"Kevin was awesome! We had a long list of problems that needed to be addressed, from installing a vent/light in an upstairs bathroom to fixing two outdoor electrical outlets to repairing a ceiling fan that was improperly installed, among other things. He did everything we asked him to fix in one day at a very reasonable price. We would hire him again in an instant. We like to fix things ourselves, but when it comes to electrical work, we leave it to the pros, and Kevin is not only professional, but really easy to work with. Thanks, guys!!"

"Ken was vey professional and agreed to come out on a Saturday morning to do the work. Him and his assistant worked very fast and efficient and accomplished the entire project in an hour and half. He was careful and clean with installation of ceiling fans, working above the furniture. I want to have him come back and do some additional switches and outlets.

"Now that I have typed it up, looks like we hired electricians to change light bulbs for us.  But, we didn't know that when we called them, and they could have just as easily sold us on new sconces and an overhead light for the kitchen.  And, when they told me that they had to go to Home Depot to get supplies, I asked them, "Would you mind picking up something for me there?"  They quickly responded, "Of course." without even asking what it was first.  It could have been trash barrels and I think they would have done it.  Actually, it was the flood lights for the back yard.  One was burned out, and I wasn't sure on size, etc. 



The workman were considerate, didn't laugh that they were only changing light bulbs, and were generous with their time - not making me feel rushed in what all I needed to have done.



Since, then, I have purchased a condo and will be contacting them to change all of the indoor lights.  (Again, using electricians to change bulbs, but they know how to do it, and what to use so it will last a long time.)



My price also included a 5% Angie's List discount.

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Hiring an electrician to install a new ceiling fan may be the best course of action. Installing a ceiling fan requires basic electrical and mechanical knowledge. It also requires holding it up with one hand and in an awkward position, making the installation even more difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with these circumstances, your best bet is to hire a professional.

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.
