"Eric was professional, competent and approachable. He visited on the first day to assess our leaking bathroom ceiling fan and to review our options. He then returned within an appropriate time frame and installed a new fan for us. Eric was polite, efficient, and skilled. We highly recommend him for all things electrical!"
"Jonathan did an excellent job. Replacing ceiling fan with a chandelier, installing a pendant light as well as replacing old bathroom fans were key parts of the job for which Jonathan was hired, along with other minor electrical issues that needed to be addressed. The chandelier was large and heavy and need to be hung in a room with tall ceilings. Jonathan planned it out and took a methodical approach - two ladders, who was going to do what, how, etc. and got it done. The next big part of the job was replacing bathroom fans. Jonathan did this well and efficiently as well. Jonathan went above and beyond to accommodate my request to install one additional bathroom fan which ended up being more work and time was running short. Jonathan is reliable and gets the job done and does it well! I highly recommend Jonathan."
"Paul has done many projects around our home, from installing outlets, installing a ceiling fan, adding outlets and hanging tvs, to wiring a garbage disposal and each time the work has been very high quality. He is always available to help and provides great service at a great price. I highly recommend Paul for all of your electrical needs!"
"I highly recommend Steven Papuchis as an expert electrician who was prompt, easy to reach, and very efficient. We had an exhaust fan installed which required outdoor as well as indoor work and Steven was excellent in every way. Our indoor fan is quiet and efficient and our new lights and switches are perfect for the respective rooms. Thank you, Steven!"
"The Upwire crew did an excellent job installing a couple of different light fixtures in my kitchen. This was my third experience with Jim's team over the years and each time I am very impressed - the work is top notch, performed at the time promised and fairly priced, the site is left impeccably finished and clean. I would not use anyone else."
"Carmen came right away when called, I wanted my electrical service to be upgraded to 200Amps. He was very professional, and the work came out phenomenal. I called him a week later to put in a Tesla charger station. I couldnâ  t be more happy with the outcome. HIGHLY recommended."
"I hired Bertie to repair some ceilings in my kitchen, living room, and bathroom. He did a really nice job and left the house tidy when it was all said and done. He was responsive to my calls, and very friendly and professional. The work looks great and I've already recommended him to a friend. He is definitely a plaster guy I'd call in the future."
"Daniel was professional, the inspector even said he did a great job. He was fair in his estimate and finished the job at estimated., which was less than others stated. I would hire him again without reservation"

Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts
A tripped circuit breaker, broken pull chain, faulty wiring, or a bad motor or capacitor are all common causes for a fan to stop working.
It is unlikely that a ceiling fan will fall, even if it develops a wobble. During a proper installation, ceiling fans are securely bolted to a ceiling joist, and the fasteners used for mounting are generally separate from the components related to balancing. A wobble is typically caused by an imbalance, which can be annoying and may lead to other issues, but is not usually dangerous on its own.
However, if a fan is wobbling because it was not installed correctly, it could be at risk of falling. For safety, it's always a good idea to ensure all mounting screws are tight and to address any wobbling or imbalance issues promptly.
Every municipality has its own codes. But generally speaking, all bathrooms must have some ventilation, whether it's a fan or a window. Check your local building codes before doing any bathroom fan installation to make sure you are meeting the code requirements. A reputable electrician or bathroom fan installer will be able to answer this question.
Regularly clean the blades, check for loose screws, and lubricate moving parts to prevent noise and wear.
Blower fans are better for preventing mold growth than dehumidifiers because they target the damaged areas and increase the rate of evaporation, which dries out the building materials. Ideally, you should run blower fans and a dehumidifier, as this will allow the fans to move dry air over your damaged building materials, drying out the space even more quickly.
