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>

How far from the floor should a ceiling fan be mounted?

• <div><p>Generally, a ceiling fan should be mounted at least seven feet from the floor in the center of your room with a wall clearance of around 18 inches. If your ceiling is more than eight feet high, it’s recommended by experts that the ceiling fan be mounted around eight to nine feet from the ground. This helps ensure a better quality of circulated airflow.</p></div>

What should I add to my coffered ceiling?

• <div><p>Coffered ceilings often come with additional embellishments and accessories, including tin panels, medallions, trim, molding, recessed lights, and finials. Whether you’re looking for a simple grid pattern or want an elaborate, decorative ceiling with all the bells and whistles, there are plenty of options to choose from.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a fan on a sloped ceiling?

• <div><p>Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope. </p></div>

Q: Should I install a ceiling fan or an air conditioner?

• <div><p>Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.</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!

Folks got right to me,we set a date. Got my quote,received my email, and then in a week or so later, the job was being done. The installer was great. I left him to do his magic he sent me a picture of where the fan would be, and that was all there was to it.

Did not show when they were supposed to, overcharged us for services, did not use protective covering and got paint spray and paint all over our floor, new furniture, cabinets and counters. Ceiling replaced is noticeable and does not match.

He was very nice and came quickly but he vented the fan into the attic without venting it outside. I asked him how he vented this and he told me. I made sure, via research, that he shouldn’t have done this. He understood my concerns and said he would fix the issue but would charge me for...
