"As our house was in desperate need of a paint uplift, I went to Angie’s List and saw Heniff Painting and Remodeling was at the top of the list for exterior painting in our area. I requested his service and Mr. Timothy Heniff responded the same day. He came out the next day, told us what he could do and gave us a reasonable price! After looking at a few other companies, we decided that Tim would be the best choice for a number of reasons – he had numerous fantastic reviews on Angie’s List, a great personality and his price was fair. He gave us a starting date, showed up and began work as promised. We have a huge house constructed of white brick with a white brick chimney, white siding and many windows. He power washed the whole house and the white brick looked brand new. He took his time in painting the house white, one side at a time, which included painting the windows, door trimming and exterior surfaces of two doors in the contrasting color. Finally, he replaced two wood floorboards on the deck and then painted it in the matching contrast color. As the contrast color looked so pretty, we asked him to paint the flower planters in the same color which he did for a small extra charge. Tim is such a good professional painter that you can tell he takes pride in his work and I must add that there were no paint drippings or splatters any where around or on the house! We just want to say that Tim did an awesome job on our house and deck! Our neighbors are constantly commenting on how beautiful our home is now. You can be assured that any future paint jobs we may have will be assigned to Heniff Painting and Remodeling! If he has other jobs ahead of our request, we will just wait. His service is worth waiting for!!!!!!!!! We are totally pleased with his work!!!!!!!!!"

"Like clockwork! I provided the fan and wall switch and they did everything else. They arrived on time; preformed the work quickly; were neat and cleaned up after themselves. The fan and switch look like they have always been there. I am VERY happy!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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. 

In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.

Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.

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.

When choosing a mounting bracket, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.
