How do I know I need my ceiling fan repaired or replaced?

• <div><p>There are several telltale signs to let you know that your ceiling fan needs servicing or replacement. For instance, if it’s wobbling, rotating too slowly, or if your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-is-my-ceiling-fan-making-noise.htm">ceiling fan is making noise</a> such as squeaks, buzzes, and thumps, it’s time to have it looked at by a professional. Not only may it indicate a potential problem with the fan itself, but it could also signal a red flag that it’s improperly assembled or there’s an issue with the wiring. </p></div>

Which way should a ceiling fan spin?

• <div><p>The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Are ceiling fans worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ceiling-fan-buying-guide.htm">Ceiling fans</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of ceiling fans?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-ceiling-fans-cool-down-your-home.htm">types of ceiling fans</a>, each with their own purpose or advantage. A standard ceiling fan works for most spaces, but low-profile ceiling fans are better suited to rooms with low ceilings. You can also find ceiling fans with lights, energy-efficient ceiling fans, and retractable blade ceiling fans.</p></div>

Q: Is a longer ceiling fan blade better than a shorter blade?

• <div><p>The more surface area that a ceiling fan blade has, the more effective it will be at producing airflow. Therefore, a longer ceiling fan blade is the better option if you&rsquo;re looking for more wind. However, a longer blade will consume more energy than a shorter blade.</p></div>

Matt installed ceiling fans for me at a very reasonable cost. He showed up on time, completed the job in a very workmanlike manner, and cleaned up after himself. He is a very personable young man and I will hire him again if I have future electrical work. Highly recommend!
