"Lloyd replaced 15 electrical receptacles that could no longer hold 2-prong electrical cords in place. He also replaced two bathroom exhaust fans that were 27 years old. No issues. We liked his work so much that we hope to hire Lloyd for a home lighting upgrade."
"Very professional and friendly from appointments to the bid and service. Helped us figure out the recessed lighting to go where we wanted while working carefully around pipes in the ceiling. Looks great!"

"Highly recommend Stephen! He was professional, communicative, and very knowledgeable. He did a fantastic job with several smaller projects for us?hanging curtains, a mirror, a coat rack, and putting in shower extenders. We are already planning to hire him again for some upcoming painting and wall decor projects!"
"Brandon was very helpful in saving us money for a EV charger install and troubleshooting our ceiling fan. He provided suggestions on how I can save money w/o calling in an electrician every time. Very personable fellow. He’s become our go-to electrician."
"Its rare to find this level of customer service anywhere these days. They came in a couple hours, were very courteous and respectful of our home, explained everything, and worked with the restoration company so they got here quickly. No one wants a blown water heater and floor damage, but if you need a plumber, hire 3 Mountains."
"Steve was on time very nice and thoroughly explained what he needed to do to complete the job. There were no surprises and I LOVE my new ceiling fan!"
"We had called about a specific problem and then the problem expanded as they realized that things that were not working since we moved in years ago could also be fixed in one fell swoop. Jeff was very efficient, tidy, and worked hard. Then, when the electrical work was done, he fixed two hanging shelves that were coming off the wall! We will hire them again. We highly recommend them! Jeff explained the work really well. Tyler made sure he sent the best person for the job. We do appreciate this company!"
"Good work. Very good communication!!!(Number 1 thing) Came on time to site and did great work. Added new lights to daylight basement and hallways and installed new outlets. Made sure all lights worked and functioned prior to leaving. Very professional. Doesn't do drywall work but left clean cuts for drywall repair. Would recommend for electrical work."
If you’re removing a ceiling fan without visible screws, start by locating the fan canopy—a round cover placed above the fan blades and motor. There should be a thin ring that can be turned counterclockwise to remove the canopy and reveal the screws. After unscrewing the fan, you can disconnect the wires and remove the entire fan from the mounting hardware. For safety, make sure the fan switch is turned off before you remove the canopy. It may be easier to remove the fan blades first, too.
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.
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.
The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.
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.
