"Although I had used him successfull in the past, his work on my new house was a disappointment. He is very experienced but he didn't want to install my infrared heat lamp in the bathroom. I have a feeling he did not want to go into the attic (too physically demanding or perhaps he didnt want to shimm up a ladder that high). He also did not install the bathroom fan there either but did put one outlet in for my towel warmer. That work was fine. As far as replacing the ceiling fan with a beautiful contemporary fan from Minke Aire.. I was not in the room at the time but when I came back in the room, he was almost done. I asked him what this part was stuck in the styrofoam in the box (it was the donut shaped light diffuser screen that softens the uplighting), he said, "Oh, you don't need that, it's just an optional part. I didn't have the heart to have him disconnect the fan and put it on, so I had another electrician come and do it when I had other work done. He also set the heavy fan down on my comforter and the glass pointed circle or one of the rods from the fan cut a circle in the bedding. When we got to the basement, we had a lot of trouble installing a flourescent light under the suspended ceiling.. There was alreadyy a box there from a light over a pool table from previous owner and now that I use the area for office I wanted more lighting. I had to help him with the install and it was almost comical.between the two of us. He eventuall bolted the light to the suspended ceiling and joist and it was secure but it never looked good and it made noise. I had that work redone also. (He should have told me not to do that or suggested better options). Nothing earth shattering, but overall a disappointment. NOTE******************* The electrician I use now is very responsive and goes in the attic all the time (to hook up a light, run new lines or hook up the roof fan that I bought) or he bops over to the big box store for parts or whatever is needed to get the job done."

"So I bought two ceiling fans last summer, I started to install the first one ran into problems the mount did not line up, did not know how to fix, eventually put them in the closet. I looked on Angies list and found a near by A rated company with experience installing ceiling fans. I made the appointment at my convenience and at 9:00 A.M. this morning Scott and Miles arrived. You cannot be more on time than that! They got right to work, they knew what to do, removed the mud ring, alerted me to a a couple minor quality issues with the fans (2 missing thumb screws, 1 globe with an internal crack), cleaned up and were done in less than 2 hours. The fans work great. Outstanding punctuality, outstanding service, got the job done and off my list, and very affordable. I would absolutely hire Westborn Electric again, actually I would not try installing a ceiling fan again, I'd just hire them to do it."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.

Many ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes tend to be made of metal. However, some electrical boxes may also be made of heavy-duty plastic that is reinforced with metal support structures. It may also have an attachment that connects directly to a ceiling joist. If you are ever ensure, consult with a licensed professional to get their insight on best practices and whether the installation is a safe one.

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.

When choosing a mounting bracket, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.
