"Josh & Seth added dedicated circuit for microwave and disconnected non-working whole house fan which was a hazard I was not aware of. I was very pleased and would use them again as well as recommend them to others"

"I like everything about them. The quality of their product is superior, their workmanship and everything from start to finish and from the salesman to the final installation, including the product was excellent, and I sent them a testimony of that. They are also expensive, but I got what I paid for. They will be doing work for me again in August."

"Installed a ceiling fan. The first one didn’t work for various reasons but they waited while my husband brought up a second new fan from basement (long story). They then installed that fan after working forever on the first one! No extra charge and they were patient. Great job."

"Pat did a fantastic Job installing a complete bathroom exhaust fan. The Attic environment with blown in insulatin was left intact the way he had found it. Pat also foam sealed around the electrical box to prevent any air leakage. Pat left the Jobsite clean, was prompt & professional. I would highly recommend."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

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.

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

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.
