"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

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.

The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. 

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.

There are many types of ceiling fans, 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.

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’ll need a large ceiling fan with a heavy-duty motor to get adequate air circulation.

Hiring an electrician to install a new ceiling fan may be the best course of action. Installing a ceiling fan requires basic electrical and mechanical knowledge. It also requires holding it up with one hand and in an awkward position, making the installation even more difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with these circumstances, your best bet is to hire a professional.

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.
