"Paul was fantastic! He did an excellent job installing 4 ceiling fans for us. He kept me updated on what steps were needed in each location (e.g., removing existing track lighting, installing a fan box, extending the wiring, etc.) and worked efficiently. Paul was also kind enough to explain things to me, which I really appreciated. He has been in the field for a long time and is a wealth of knowledge. I will definitely reach out to Paul for future projects involving electrical!"

"Chris was extremely professional and qualified and very quick on the job and knew exactly what he was doing. Extremely polite gentleman, and went beyond expectations; worth every penny. Removed my broken ceiling fan and put together and installed my new one in incredibly rapid time. Was very informative and explained everything very clearly to me as I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to electrician projects. My new ceiling fan is working fantastically. 10/10"

"Jane and Brandon are outstanding people to work with and truly live up to their company's name. 
We made an appointment with Jane to meet us in our (one bathroom) condo which my sister had lived in for more than 30 years. Jane listened to what we wanted, which turned out to be a full remodel!  She took some measurements, and promised to get back to us in a few days with a plan and cost estimate. We were also concerned about losing the "bathroom functionality" as we had no back-up, but she assured us they could do something to keep us "going" while the renovation was going on.  Thanks to her advice, suggestions, and support, the bathroom was spot on in terms of the timing of the job, and, more importantly, cost. Her suggestions between the bathroom fixtures, cabinetry, paint, tile flooring, and accessories, were perfect for what we were looking for.  She also served as point person with neighbors and such as the work at times impacted other owners. 
Her partner, Brandon, and his team were meticulous in every aspect of the rework, both during and after the renovation.  They were perfectionists ... and this was especially evident in our small bathroom where every detail is so obvious.  Not to mention that he was so polite, respectful, and caring as he came in and out of the condo regularly. 
Our new bathroom is stunning!  We are very happy with it.  "

"Chris has been doing a rather extensive renovation project with me on an 117 year old house. We just passed rough inspection yesterday. His prices are VERY competetive, and he is extremely efficient and professional. He even removed wiring that was done incorrectly by the previous home-owner without charging extra just because "it needed to be done right." When another unexpected problem came up with the age of the house and previous wiring, he was able to fix it without charging. I also had interviewed 5 other electricians--many recommended by friends and neighbors--and he came out on top. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know."

Ceiling Fans FAQs, 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.

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 the size of attic fan you need 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.

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

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.
