"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."
"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."
"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
When maintained and repaired when necessary, your whole-house fan can last between 10 and 20 years. Check your warranty when purchasing the unit, as it will typically only cover between 5 and 15 years. Its longevity will also depend on your local climate and how much you use the fan. Having a professional size your fan appropriately for your home size will also help ensure it doesn’t get overworked, which can limit its lifespan.
A blower and a fan serve different functions, so whether a blower versus a fan is better depends on what you need. If you need to heat or warm your home, it’s important that the HVAC blower is in good working condition. If you want to prevent an AC unit from overheating, make sure to keep up-to-date on condenser fan maintenance.
Whole-house fans cost significantly less to run than a window AC unit. You'll pay an average of $0.01 and $0.05 per hour to run a whole-house fan compared to $0.06 to $0.88 per hour for the cost to run a window AC, depending on its size and the size of your home. They also use far less electricity than traditional central AC units.
Most duct booster fans are not designed to run continuously, though some models can be programmed for constant operation. Typically, they are controlled by the user via a switch, controls on the unit itself, or by being wired to the HVAC system's thermostat. Wiring the fan to a thermostat allows it to run automatically only when heating or cooling is active, which saves energy and is an effective way to activate the fan only when needed to address issues like uneven room temperatures.
While it may seem like it makes sense to put a fan in the attic to cool it down, it won’t be as effective as installing attic fans. Ventilation installed near the peak of the roof, whether passive (just allowing heat to escape) or active (drawing the air up and out) will be more effective at cooling the attic.
