"The problem was the foyer layout. The ceiling was very high, but the ladder that they guys brought could not fit because of the way the foyer was designed. They tried several ladders and when those did not work, they went to back to the office. When the ladder they brought from the office, did not work they went to Home Depot and rented a ladder that would work for the space. They were determined to get this light up and for that I would hire them again. They were professional, clean and even though frustrating to finish the project because of the ladder situation, they made light of the situation and got the job done. Once the rented the ladder, they were able to put the light up in less than an hour. I found the cost to be high considering that it did not take them long to put up the light. However, considering their efforts to make sure the job was done, I didn't mind paying the fee and I would hire this company again."

"I hired them to come and install an exhaust fan as well as a thermostat. After realizing my hvac system also had a humidifier function that was incompatible with the thermostat I bought they were able to properly install my exhaust fan (I bought the wrong kind as well) and hung a chandelier under two hours. Very efficient and fair pricing."

"We needed to replace our deck dome light with a ceiling fan light because yellow jackets were able to get into the dome light to make two nests. Exterminator removed the nests, we bought the ceiling fan with light and called Haas and Son Electric. After explaining our issue, they gave us a next day appointment and Nick was here first thing this morning. He did a great job, had an electrical box on the truck that needed to hold the ceiling fan, and even applied silicone around the top to assure yellow jackets couldn't get in. We have used Haas Electric and Sons in the past and as senior citizens, we need a company we can trust and that is affordable. Highly recommend."

"The job was to reinstall the reflector on a recessed ceiling light. It was easy for the electrician, but difficult for me. The job took about five minutes. It is common practice to charge a standard amount for any service call so I was happy to pay for the expertise. Chris Haas is a very pleasant and competent fellow."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a difficult and potentially dangerous job that should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is recommended to hire a certified electrician to build the necessary electrical infrastructure. In some areas, building codes require this work to be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance. Due to the complexity, this type of installation is a significant job that could cost up to $2,000.

Whether you can install a ceiling fan yourself depends on if you're replacing an existing fixture or installing one where no wiring exists. If you are replacing an existing fan, an experienced DIYer may be able to do the job, which can save on labor costs. This work typically doesn’t require a permit, but there’s always a safety risk when dealing with electrical components, so hiring a pro is still a good idea, especially if you aren't handy. Keep in mind you may need a special ladder for high or vaulted ceilings. However, if you are installing a new ceiling fan where there is no current fixture, you must hire a licensed electrician. In most areas, it is required by law that a professional runs new wiring and pulls the necessary permits. Attempting to install wiring yourself can be dangerous and a code violation.

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. 

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.

Ceiling fans offer multiple benefits for your home. They improve air circulation to prevent stagnant environments and provide cost-effective temperature control, which can reduce reliance on your HVAC system and help lower utility bills. In addition to their functional advantages, ceiling fans can also enhance a room's aesthetic appeal with features like built-in lighting and modern styling.
