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>

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 should I add to my coffered ceiling?

• <div><p>Coffered ceilings often come with additional embellishments and accessories, including tin panels, medallions, trim, molding, recessed lights, and finials. Whether you’re looking for a simple grid pattern or want an elaborate, decorative ceiling with all the bells and whistles, there are plenty of options to choose from.</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 do I know if my ceiling box can support a fan?

• <div><p>The ceiling box should have an inscription stating that it supports the operation of the ceiling fan. If it&rsquo;s not included, you should purchase a fan-rated junction box and a fan brace so you can install the box between joists, where it&rsquo;ll provide the most support for the fan&rsquo;s weight.</p></div>

The service itself was good. There was no additional fresh scent of being clean. The biggest issue I had was that they said the person would use fans to help dry. The person that did the job did not use any at all. He told us it might take 3-4 hours, so we left for 6. Came back and most of it...
