"Zack came into my home to install light fixtures and outlets as well as to do some wiring. He was quick and efficient, and friendly with my kids to boot! I am very happy with the finished product and will definitely be having him back for any other electrical work I need done around the house."

"We recently hired Soe to replace our kitchen light, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our setup involved very old recessed can lights, which made the replacement quite challenging and complex. However, Soe was incredibly patient throughout the entire process and successfully installed the new fixtures. Going above and beyond, Soe also helped patch up the old wall surface so the new light could be installed securely and look seamless. The level of care and attention to detail was truly impressive. Professional Expertise: Handled tricky, outdated recessed lighting with ease. Thoughtful Service: Went the extra mile to repair the wall before installation. Stunning Results: The finished look is clean, secure, and far beyond our expectations. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and will definitely be hiring Soe again for any future home projects. Highly recommended!"

"Cliff called within minutes of me submitting my request for an electrical panel upgrade and was able to come for an estimate same-day. He was polite, professional and punctual, and kept a clean workspace. Pricing was fair and he stayed true to his estimate - no hidden or additional charges - and he was able to do the job that same weekend. I'm very pleased with the work I received."

"The team that worked on our project is awesome! We had a pretty tricky ceiling fan situation where the previous fan was improperly installed and surrounding electrical was not grounded. These guys took extra care to make sure the new ceiling beam mount was safe and sturdy, the circuit was grounded and our new fan was installed and working. The new fan is also a “smart” fan that has an adapter to connect to Amazon Alexa/Google Home and these guys still made sure everything worked as we wanted. We will absolutely have these guys back for any future electrical needs. Thank you!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

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.

Essential tools for ceiling fan installation include a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a circuit tester. If the ceiling is angled or features unique configurations, ensure the availability of a compatible mounting bracket.

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.

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.
