"Maynor did an excellent job running electricity to my gazebo and installing a much needed ceiling fan in time for the hot weather. I highly recommend this company."
"These guys want your business and they want to keep your business. Their sense of urgency meant for us that they quoted the same day and scheduled us within a couple days. And when any other job they had was postponed or cancelled they called to see if they could do the work for us sooner (as in that same day). We also had an extra task not already quoted, and they were glad to do that for us too. They re honest. E.g., I m not happy about the holes that will be put in our walls/ceiling for ceiling fans to be installed, but they re honest and up front about what to expect so that we could make an informed decision. And finally, they re personable. This makes them easy to relate to to explain the work to be done. Being good listeners and repeating it back... the customer gets what they want. My husband says I m supposed to give them 20 stars but this site only allows for 5."
"Linares Construction was able to complete my bathroom remodeling within 5 days. They were prompt and address all the concerns I had. I highly recommend them!"
"Chapin Handyman does excellent work! We needed our basement windows (which had just been replaced by another contractor) to have either a trim border or wallboard put around them and decided to get caught up on a few other tasks that we just weren't getting around to. Nestor was very responsive for giving us a price, broken out by project. Each worker who came through (a) knew what was asked for from Nestor and also (b) double-checked the needs with us. The windows look *amazing* and we're really happy to have the ceiling fans switched out, our towel rack back up in the master bath, and the installation of a proper basement light switch (after making a bad call on not putting it in when we finished it years ago.) We can't recommend them enough!"
"He was very nice and polite. He was prepared and had thought through our problems with the pictures sent. I think our gate problems have been resolved. I have asked to come back to fix a receptacle and replace place batteries in one of my cameras."
Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts
For a 12x12 room, a fan between 36" and 50" will work, as it falls in the range for spaces up to 144 square feet. These size fans provide adequate air circulation and ensure a comfortable environment without being overpowering. Even better, they come in a broad range of styles, offering aesthetics and functionality, making them suitable choices for maintaining an ideal room temperature and enhancing overall comfort.
You can easily clean an electric fan by wiping it with a damp cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or mild detergent. Ensure the fan is not plugged in or turned on while you’re cleaning it. Also, try to keep liquids out of the motor, which can lead to damage.
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.
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.
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.
