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: Is it difficult to install a ceiling fan without existing wiring?

• <div><p>Yes, adding wiring for a ceiling fan where there is none requires an electrician to build the electrical infrastructure. You should not attempt to do this job yourself, as electrical work can be dangerous without experience. All told, the job is a big one, and it might cost up to <b>$2,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: Do outdoor ceiling fans have different size requirements than indoor?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Which fan material is best?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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&rsquo;t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.</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.
