"On August 2025 I had two Hunter ceiling fans installed by Mike and was very pleased with the results. The installations were done efficiently and professionally, with both fans mounted in the second-floor loft and bedroom with 8’ ceilings. Communication was clear throughout the process, and he made sure everything was working perfectly, including the wall controls for each fan. I highly recommend their services for anyone needing reliable and quality electrical work."
"Zach came to convert two bedroom lights into ceiling fans for us in our daughter’s bedrooms. Not only did he do a great job with the installation, he mounted the remotes to the walls, cleaned up all residue from the work, and took away the new ceiling fan boxes, in an hour and a half. He was extremely friendly and professional, and extremely responsive leading up to the appointment. We will definitely be reaching out to him for future projects!"
"Dale provided excellent customer service! We were very pleased with the job he did for us. We are so pleased, we will be calling him back to put a ceiling fan in our living room. Did I mention how quickly and efficiently he worked?!! We highly recommend hiring Dale for your next project."
"We hired Michael in early 2023 for various jobs in our new home. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, out door flood lights, out door electric outlets and a whole house power surge upgraded from the builders model ( Schell Brothers). He is always prompt , polite, courteous ,funny and fair pricing for the work, We call Short Circuit for all our electrical needs. Highly Recommend!!"
"Klaus was the only pro who contacted us after 2 requests made in Angi. The job was at our Ocean City, Maryland beach condo that we were visiting for the weekend. Klaus responded quickly by phone and was able to come over the next day while we were still in town and listen to what we wanted done and talk us through how he would handle our project -- all without charging a fee. The following Monday after we returned to our DC metro area house, he emailed us a reasonable estimate and did not even require a partial payment upon our acceptance of his offer. Even though we would not be present for the installation, we felt comfortable with Klaus completing the job according to our wishes. He picked up the fans we had ordered at a local distributor and included the cost in our final bill. He kept in touch by phone during the installation and resolved a few unforeseen issues on the spot. Since we were not able to come back to inspect the work for a couple weeks, we offered to make a partial payment, but Klaus refused. It was refreshing to deal with a contractor based on mutual trust and get the desired result. A minor concern was that one of the fans had a slight wobble caused by a couple loose screws on the mounting stem, but we were able to quickly rectify the problem ourselves. We highly recommend Klaus due to his reliability, trustworthiness and completion of the project to our satisfaction."
"I've used Mike twice now for troubleshooting a lighting problem and then handing a ceiling fan. I plan to bring him back to install lighting on my deck. He is very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. I highly recommend Mike!!"

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.
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.

The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.
No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.
