"Friendly and helpful electrician. Ran into some issues as the fan I bought was too small, but able to send someone to the store to buy a kit that fit. Also replaced smoke detectors all in one visit."

"Tony at Plugz Electric was professional, knowledgeable, and so thorough. He helped us make the best choice for fan installation and ended up adding a third job to convert from fluorescent lighting to LED in our kitchen. The new fans and lighting had made a HUGE difference in our home and will be using Plugz Electric for future projects."

"I was prepared to spend $600 to install a new bathroom ceiling fan. Due to circumstances unique to my house and unknown to me, the final bill was around $1,900. While the service was good, the electrician polite and on time, the hefty price tag was a shocker. Wish I had gotten some estimates from other services before beginning the project."

"I had two exhaust fans put in the bathrooms, they gave me a price we talk about the job and agreed to a final price and they were able to do it that same day, and left the job site very clean. I would hire them again for any electrical job."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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 the size of attic fan you need 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.

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.

There are many types of ceiling fans available, each designed for different spaces and needs. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type and work well in most rooms. Low-profile ceiling fans are better suited for rooms with low ceilings. Smart ceiling fans can be controlled with a smartphone or voice commands. For larger spaces with ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, large ceiling fans are ideal. Dual-motor fans have two motors to produce more airflow in multiple directions. You can also find energy-efficient or Energy-Star models that can be up to 60% more efficient, as well as fans with built-in lights or retractable blades.

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example: 

  • Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.

  • Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.

  • Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.

  • Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
