"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!"

"This is my 3rd (or 4th?) experience with Northern Lights Electric, and it certainly won't be my last. They arrived on time (7am), worked quickly and efficiently, and were done much sooner than I expected. They also cleaned up when they were done. Steven was also very willing to answer questions and explain some things, as well as give me information on some potential future services I was considering. I just requested an appointment for a ceiling fan installation and recessed lighting. Definitely my go-to for any electrical issues."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Though possible, installing a ceiling fan yourself requires electrical knowledge and confidence working with home wiring. Following the manufacturer's instructions carefully and observing safety precautions are crucial components of a DIY installation.

There are many types of ceiling fans, from self-automated smart ceiling fans to outdoor ceiling fans that provide additional comfort to your patio. What you choose all comes down to function and personal taste.

Consider your ceiling height when selecting a ceiling fan. Rooms with ceilings under eight feet high will do well with low-profile ceiling fans, also known as flush-mount or hugger ceiling fans. If your home has cathedral ceilings or ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, you’ll need a large ceiling fan with a heavy-duty motor to get adequate air circulation.

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.

Ceiling fans are very often worth the investment because they improve comfort in your living space and help reduce utility bills. In the late spring and early fall—and even in the summer in some areas—homeowners with ceiling fans can often get away with open windows and fans, which can cut down on cooling bills and also reduce wear and tear on the HVAC system. Over time, ceiling fans can pay for themselves by saving you money on electric bills and air conditioner repair and maintenance.

The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. 

During summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This will push cooler air downward in a column and help lower your room’s air temperature. In the winter, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise and at the lowest speed setting. This will pull cool air upwards, displacing the warm air that pools towards the top of your ceiling and bringing it down towards the floor.
