Can ceiling fans be installed anywhere?

• <div><p>There’s no reason why you can’t install a ceiling fan anywhere in your home, such as in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dining areas. Most bathrooms already have ventilation and don’t need a ceiling fan. For safety purposes, avoid installing a ceiling fan where the blades will be less than eight feet from the floor, near bunk beds, or anywhere else they may hit nearby objects.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to wire my own ceiling fan?

• <div><p>If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it&rsquo;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&rsquo;s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.</p></div>

Q: When should I repair versus replace my ceiling fan?

• <div><p>Since the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-ceiling-fan-installation-cost.htm">cost of installing a ceiling fan</a> is <b>$250</b> for most homeowners, it might be beneficial to replace your existing fan if you are experiencing a significant repair issue, like a broken motor. However, for less expensive repairs, like a fan blade replacement, you&rsquo;ll likely spend less on the repair than a complete fan replacement. Of course, if you&rsquo;re looking for an upgrade or a new style fan, replacing it altogether is always an option. </p></div>

Q: Can you install a ceiling fan where a light fixture is?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where there is already a light fixture. The electrical wiring needed to install a ceiling fan is similar to that of a light fixture. Before you make the swap, consider whether you need an extension rod and whether your ceiling is on an angle. You will need a fan-rated electrical box to ensure that your ceiling is sturdy enough to handle a spinning fan.</p></div>

Q: Can ceiling fans be installed anywhere?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no reason why you can&rsquo;t install a ceiling fan anywhere in your home, such as in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dining areas. Most bathrooms already have ventilation and don&rsquo;t need a ceiling fan. For safety purposes, avoid installing a ceiling fan where the blades will be less than eight feet from the floor, near bunk beds, or anywhere else they may hit nearby objects.</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>

Brandon Turner did some roof repair work for us in 2017. We now have multiple ceiling leaks. We tried multiple times to contact him about our concerns and he would not respond. Think twice about hiring this company to do any work for you.
