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>

What size fan should I get?

• <div><p>The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example: </p><ul><li><p>Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.</p></li><li><p>Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.</p></li><li><p>Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.</p></li><li><p>Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you remove a ceiling fan without visible screws?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re removing a ceiling fan without visible screws, start by locating the fan canopy&mdash;a round cover placed above the fan blades and motor. There should be a thin ring that can be turned counterclockwise to remove the canopy and reveal the screws. After unscrewing the fan, you can disconnect the wires and remove the entire fan from the mounting hardware. For safety, make sure the fan switch is turned off before you remove the canopy. It may be easier to remove the fan blades first, too.</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: How long does fan installation take?

• <div><p>Most installations take 3-6 hours, but complex electrical wiring or additional attic ventilation work may extend the timeframe.</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.

"Had 100 amp breaker replaced with 200 amp and multiple new lines run to the garage and added 100 amp in the garage. They were thorough and efficient and did the work as expected. Very professional and kept us updated if any potential delays and when new issues were found. I highly recommend and would hire again."
