"Mohamed got 1 of the 2 jobs done. I hired them to do (2) Fan installations. Upon starting, he found that one job couldn't be done due to old raggedy cloth wiring. He provided details on why it would be hazardous to install this modern fan on old wiring and we agreed on his assessment. He was honest, fair priced and cleaned up behind himself. I would use him again."

"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."

"Bart and his team did excellent work! Installed several fans, switches, and lights. Quick, responsive, and very professional. Bart even took the time to answer a few basic electrical questions I had about some of the wiring in my house. His rates were also the most reasonable I saw. I will absolutely call him again for every electrical project I have!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. 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.

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.
