"These guys are fantastic. I called for them and they came within the hour. The foreman is very professional, thorough and courtesy. He noticed and immediately discussed things that needed correction. I had two fans installed in my great room and the price he gave me was extremely fair. He even changed my halogen bulbs from my high ceiling to LED. The explanation of each course of action was given in detail, and with enough comprehension for understanding. These gentlemen cleanup quickly. If you need to have electrical work done, Ohms electricians are trustworthy electricians."

"Chad did a great job installing my ceiling fan...twice! This was because the first fan was defective. He was willing to wait while I ran out to Lowes to get another one, then he installed it, quickly and efficiently. He also checked my smoke detectors at no additional cost. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs some electrical work done."

"Very friendly, professional, personable, and neat brothers. Jesse and Ryan installed recess lighting, added a new ceiling fan and switched out an old fan for a new one, (even played with my two dogs). Throughly cleaned up and moved all of my furniture back into place. My home looked as if these guys were never in my home. Awesome, Highly recommend, and will be calling soon for an outside project. **Great Pricing!!"

"Day 1 of hiring Peter I knew I made the right decision. He was responsive and very helpful in navigating what I would need to help complete the project. He provided recommendations for vendors and worked alongside me as a partner in completing our job. He communicated well and made it easy for me to understand when problems arose. Both Peter and Bob made great suggestions while they were completing the work- I felt like I was truly a part of the design process. We love our new bathroom and have received so many compliments on the work. Not to mention my two year old daughter regularly walks into the new bathroom and says “Peter Bob did this”, points and smiles. I am looking forward to working with Peter again for future projects in my home."

"After getting 3 estimates for work i needed done, i chose Scholz Electric. At the estimate appointment, he noticed that there was water in the electrical panel in the basement. He did a quick temporary fix until he could come back to do the work. Douglas arrived ontime and started work right away. He was very professional and polite. After the work was complete, I had a problem with one of the breakers tripping if I used the cable and washing machine at the same time. I left him a message and he came early the next morning to take care of it. I would highly recommned them and will call Doug again if I need electrical work done again."

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.

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.

To convert a ceiling fan to wireless, you’ll need to install a canopy module to access the lighting and fan controls. Many options are available, all of which help you control specific elements of your ceiling fan, so you have plenty of choices depending on your needs.

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.
