"I needed to run wiring for some lights. While not an emergency, she arrived the next day! Fast, courteous, great work for a super-fair price! Highly recommended! A+"
I used this company last year to have a ceiling fan installed - they did a great job with that so when I found out I needed to get my electrical panel updated this was the first company I thought of using. Not only was Jason quick to respond to my request for a quote, the amount was very reasonable. They sent out 2 guys to do the work (one of which was the guy that did the work for me last year). They did a great job, explained everything and they were very professional.
"Honest, up-front people. Dave gave me the options, told me what I could and should not do, and let me make the decisions. They are diligent, hard working folks who really give you your money's worth. Would I call them again? I already did!"
"Jeff & Robbie were punctual & very professional. They worked quickly and efficiently. I couldn't be happier with the job they did. I'll definitely be using Koby Electric for any future electric work I need done."
Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a difficult and potentially dangerous job that should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is recommended to hire a certified electrician to build the necessary electrical infrastructure. In some areas, building codes require this work to be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance. Due to the complexity, this type of installation is a significant job that could cost up to $2,000.
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.
Fans not turning on, wobbling, noisy motors, or faulty remote controls are common issues requiring repair.
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.
The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example:
Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.
Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.
Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.
Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
