Q: How do I know if my ceiling box can support a fan?

• <div><p>To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a ceiling fan?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won&rsquo;t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">Building permits</a> are necessary in most municipalities if you&rsquo;re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you&rsquo;ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they&rsquo;ll typically file the paperwork for you.</p></div>

Q: Is a 52-inch fan too big for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>For a 12x12 room, a fan between 36&quot; and 50&quot; 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.</p></div>

Q: How do I know which type of ceiling fan to get?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-ceiling-fans-cool-down-your-home.htm">types of ceiling fans</a>, 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.</p><p>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&rsquo;ll need a large ceiling fan with a heavy-duty motor to get adequate air circulation.</p></div>

Q: What size fan do you need?

• <div><p>Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM. You can figure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">the size of attic fan you need</a> by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.</p></div>

"He was very prompt, well communicative and provided honest feedback. In this case, both exhaust fans can and will be installed but he was honest about the timing. With the brutal cold weather at the time he advised us waiting until Spring in order to avoid cracking and damage to external siding. I appreciated this although it meant that his ability to make money off of us on this trip is back in the open. He did not charge us for the hour he spent.

"The furnace took 4 days to get approved( not counting a Sunday) the others were quick but the water heater had to be ordered so without hot water for a week. One ceiling fan was easy but within a year their policy changed and They would not install the one I purchased and had to get a new one approved and then ordered online and took several weeks to get straightened out. Not sure who was at fault, AHS, installer or scheduling with renter. Fee is usually $75 per visit"
