"James was able to put up my ceilings fans the same day I contacted him. He was on time, very friendly and cleaned up after all the work. I had 4 ceiling fans replaced and he did a great job. I will definitely use him again and I highly recommend him."

"Mike did a great job in venting my bathroom fan. I really appreciated how instead of charging me hundreds of dollars to cut a hole in my roof like others had, he instead routed it out of an existing fan vent that worked just as well. It's great to have someone honest and willing to just do what's needed."

"I contacted dozens of contractors and electricians about replacing the ceiling fan on my 20 ft tall ceiling. Some gave me expensive quotes for $2-3K and didn't have the equipment to do the job. Some showed up with ladders not tall enough to even touch to fan. Jack came out to look at the job, explained why he planned to do it with scaffolding and went above and beyond to recruit a painter to help path a ceiling crack while he is doing the fan. The crew was professional and efficient. They know what they were doing. If you have a tricky job like ours, you can't go wrong with Jack."

"We've hired David Roesner a few times to come to our home to do electrical work, and he's been excellent every time! The biggest job was having him install a 240V subpanel so my wife could have an electric pottery kiln in our garage. He did a fantastic job, on time, and even under the estimated budget! David has also installed outlets and re-wired some of our home. He's our "go to" for electrical needs. Highly recommended!"

"Main job was removal of whole house fan, install drywall and insulation, and paint ceiling. Also replaced old smoke and CO detectors and patched as needed. Job was completed within the week of initial contact. Estimate for job was reasonable, especially compared wih other estimates received. I especially appreciated that John provided thorough explanation of everything to be done. Will definitely hire this contractor for future jobs!"

"My worker did a fantastic job. Installed a light and ceiling fan. The fan didn’t even need reenforcement. My worker assured me the electric box was very secure. So that saved him time to get to his next job. Also, saved me some money in not needing to be reinforced."

"Danny was awesome! Our 25 ft entrance desperately needed a new light fixture and he managed to replace it by himself, which was impressive. He also added a dimmer switch for us, and replaced 2 other fixtures/ ceiling fans, all in under 4 hours. Quality work done fast with excellent communication: 5 stars all around. Highly recommend."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.

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.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

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.
