Get matched with top ceiling fan pros in Waterloo, IL

Q: What size fan do you need?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">the size of attic fan you need</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What should I know before attempting to install a ceiling fan on my own?

• <div><p>Though possible, installing a ceiling fan yourself requires electrical knowledge and confidence working with home wiring. Following the manufacturer's instructions carefully and observing safety precautions are crucial components of a DIY installation.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a fan on a sloped ceiling?

• <div><p>Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope. </p></div>

Q: How do I know which type of ceiling fan to get?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-ceiling-fans-cool-down-your-home.htm">types of ceiling fans</a>, from self-automated smart ceiling fans to outdoor ceiling fans that provide additional comfort to your patio. What you choose all comes down to function and personal taste.</p><p>Consider your ceiling height when selecting a ceiling fan. Rooms with ceilings under eight feet high will do well with low-profile ceiling fans, also known as flush-mount or hugger ceiling fans. If your home has cathedral ceilings or ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, you&rsquo;ll need a large ceiling fan with a heavy-duty motor to get adequate air circulation.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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>

"We called Anytime Electric to fix a ceiling fan we had up (if possible) or to replace with a new one if needed. They gave us the option of both and were very honest about not being able to completely fix the problem due to how it was originally installed. We decided to have them install the new one and very much appreciated their honesty. Fan is up and working great !!! Eric and his team are top notch and they will be our first call next time we need a ceiling fan installed or any other electrical work !"
