What is the lifespan of a ceiling fan?

• <div><p>Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.</p></div>

Can I replace my own ceiling fan if the ceiling isn’t already wired?

• <div><p>In most parts of the country, it’s required by law that a licensed electrician be the one to connect your ceiling fan if the ceiling hasn’t already been wired to support one. We strongly recommend going with a professional if you need to install wiring into your home to power a ceiling fan.</p></div>

Q: What type of ceiling fan mounting bracket is best?

• <div><p>When <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-ceiling-fan-mounting-brackets.htm">choosing a mounting bracket</a>, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to install these fans?

• <div><p>Installation generally takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the home structure, electrical characteristics, and attic access ease.</p></div>

Q: What is the most efficient ceiling fan height?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Very pleasant gentleman. Did a great job. He didn't rush, and even had to go out and get a part that was missing. I couldn't have been more pleased with the install. He measured to make sure the fan went in the exact spot on the ceiling that I asked. The price for his service was lower than...

"Wireone states they give you qoute before the service. When I asked how much GFCI outlet change would cost, call center agent gave me $ 69. Turns out this was just for sending an electrician and the price was $227. I don't think this was electrian's fault but be wary of wireone's deceptive marketing practice."
