"We called PipeWorks for an emergency hot water heater replacement on a weekend. In approximately one hour, they had a technician, Pablo, at our house to assess the issue. Pablo was extremely professional and made safety during the COVID pandemic a top priority as he did his work. He was able to get us a replacement water heater and install it the same day and completed the job within a few hours of when he first arrived. He answered all of our questions, did a terrific job, and even called us later that evening when we had reached out through the main number with a follow-up question. We were so grateful for Pablo's expertise and professionalism."

"Called in the afternoon, and Ohms was able to meet me that same day after I got off work. Omar and Lloyd were waiting in my driveway when I got home from work. They were friendly, courteous, helpful and very knowledgable. After installing the ceiling fans, Omar followed me to my rental house to fix a bad outlet. They take the time to explain the work they are doing, and give helpful advice for preventative measures. Customer satisfaction seems a very high priority for Ohms, and they deliver on all fronts - quality of work, price, and great, friendly service. I called Ohms to replace an electrician I was not happy with, and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

There are several telltale signs to let you know that your ceiling fan needs servicing or replacement. For instance, if it’s wobbling, rotating too slowly, or if your ceiling fan is making noise such as squeaks, buzzes, and thumps, it’s time to have it looked at by a professional. Not only may it indicate a potential problem with the fan itself, but it could also signal a red flag that it’s improperly assembled or there’s an issue with the wiring.

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.

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 you want your ceiling fan to move in depends on the season you’re in. During summer, you want it to move counterclockwise to produce a cooling downdraft. During winter, you want it to move clockwise to circulate warm air throughout the room.

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.
