"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."

"They called right away after submitting my request and came out the next business day. Had to put them on hold for 2 days as I was having tile installed in bathroom, which he was alright. Edison Electric came out today and installed all that we wanted and did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and personable and would highly recommend them."

"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."

"My experience is probably unique. and complicated. I was installing a new ceiling light in the dining room. There are 2 switches but when wiring the light, the main switch no longer would work as it had for the past 4 years. Two guys came out, checked out all the wiring, and after an hour, declared that the wiring in the box needed to be re-wired because some previous owner had the wiring all mixed up. It would now cost close to $1,000 to straighten out the wiring. So, I did not go forward with the work. I was charged $350 for the hour they were here and nothing changed or was fixed. I am not saying it was their fault but I paid $350 for nothing."

"Outstanding service. Dan Heidelberger from Knight Light Electric replaced a blown circuit for us. He diagnosed and corrected the initial cause of the problem and explained what we should do going forward to avoid a repeat. Dan is informed, pleasant prompt and courteous. Knight Light Electric is now our go-to electrician. We already recommended him to family and neighbors. Great Service and a great value all the way around. ,"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.

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.

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’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’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.
