"Chad did really good work with the exhaust fan that I had him install. He laid out all the work he was going to do, so I knew what I was getting for the price. Treated my home like his own, left everything like it was before he started the work. Highly recommended."

"Wilson brothers came out to look at the project and provide a bid. They scheduled the inspection with little delay and arrived on time. The man who came was friendly but was very critical of the duct work in my home, which had been installed in a major renovation two years prior by a different company. I'll describe that impact below. He went away promising to provide a bid in two days' time. A week later, I still hadn't heard word and contacted the company. They replied that they would not be able to provide a cost estimate as they were too busy to do the work for several months' time. They indicated that my project was more involved than most A/C installations and for that reason they were choosing not to bid during their high volume time. I was appreciative that they didn't string me along, though frustrated to have to wait a week and then get this answer. The conversation about my previous duct-work project was also worrisome. He described it as an unprofessional job and claimed that it was not up to the building code. The new ducts were flexible, insulated ducts which he stated the code did not permit beyond a run of 12 feet. (Many were much longer than this.) He also pointed out half a dozen places where he believed the ducts had been kinked due to a tight bend. This information obviously led to quite a bit of concern on my part, as well as surprise due to the good heating performance after the previous renovation. I both called the previous contractor and researched the building code on my own. I learned that the Wilson Bros. estimator was incorrect about the building code: flexible *connectors* are limited to 12 feet in length; flexible *ducts* such as what I had are not length-limited. Additionally, all but one of the ducts he had claimed were kinked were not -- the insulation was pinched, but the duct itself was not deformed. The previous contractor noted one kinked duct that they replaced. My suspicion is that the technician does not work with flexible ducts and this led to the competing information. I appreciated the information and it did lead to the repair of one kinked duct. I also appreciated the honesty regarding their ability to do the work in a timely manner, though I would have liked better communication on the topic rather than my having to chase them down."
Three of the five heads are marked by the numbers in the blue circle. On the inside of the house is where you will find the mounted units. The slim ducts run alongside the white arrows and will eventually be covered to match the exterior of the house.
The slim ducts in the basement ceiling that connect from the branch box all the way to the 5 different heating and cooling units. These will be covered by the ceiling tiles once the job is finished.

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. 

Many ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes tend to be made of metal. However, some electrical boxes may also be made of heavy-duty plastic that is reinforced with metal support structures. It may also have an attachment that connects directly to a ceiling joist. If you are ever ensure, consult with a licensed professional to get their insight on best practices and whether the installation is a safe one.

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.

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.

The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.
