"Jeff went about his business in a courteous and professional manner! Jeff installed the outlet's that I wanted to eliminate a power strip that had been living under my bed for years! He also installed outlet's for my pc and amp. Then he went into the living room and put in outlet's in back of the entertainment center and couch. My wife and I were very pleased!"

"This contractor is wonderful! Mr. Narine and his assistants were at my home within a week of when my husband contacted him. He installed the vent fan we wanted and was so professional and quick and neat cleaning up everything behind themselves. We could not have asked for anyone better!"

"Mark and his assistant Mike were great. Mark is very knowledgeable with just about everything home building and remodel related. He installed a new vanity and bathroom light/fan, which were a challenge. Do to the age of the home and previous DIY work, he was thrown a few curveballs, but always came up with a new game plan and completed the work without issue. He is a busy guy, but always communicated well informed me when he was available to do the work. I hope to work on future projects with Mark and crew- would highly recommend"

"Brian is highly skilled, creative, attention to detail problem solverâ he remodeled my 1980â s bathroom beautifully, bringing me into the 21st century! Love new flooring, recessed lighting, sleek fan, modern fixtures (bath/sink faucets), painted existing vanity, installed new toilet, new cabinet, new radiator cover! What a difference! Love my â new to meâ bathroom! Thanks Brian! PS: liked the transformation so much that I hired Brian to remodel second bathroom like first one but had him remove old tub & install gorgeous walk-in shower w glass doors! Very very happy!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

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.

In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.

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.
