"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."

"They are efficient and professional. They are also very neat. The new electric panel and the ceiling fan are lovely. We will use them again when we change out the outlets and hang a few more lighting fixtures. Can't wait!"

"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."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

Ceiling fans are very often worth the investment because they improve comfort in your living space and help reduce utility bills. In the late spring and early fall—and even in the summer in some areas—homeowners with ceiling fans can often get away with open windows and fans, which can cut down on cooling bills and also reduce wear and tear on the HVAC system. Over time, ceiling fans can pay for themselves by saving you money on electric bills and air conditioner repair and maintenance.

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.

Whether you can install a ceiling fan yourself depends on if you're replacing an existing fixture or installing one where no wiring exists. If you are replacing an existing fan, an experienced DIYer may be able to do the job, which can save on labor costs. This work typically doesn’t require a permit, but there’s always a safety risk when dealing with electrical components, so hiring a pro is still a good idea, especially if you aren't handy. Keep in mind you may need a special ladder for high or vaulted ceilings. However, if you are installing a new ceiling fan where there is no current fixture, you must hire a licensed electrician. In most areas, it is required by law that a professional runs new wiring and pulls the necessary permits. Attempting to install wiring yourself can be dangerous and a code violation.

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.
