"Lovely installation of three ceiling fans with lights in three of my bedrooms. They also installed a new 20 amp cable to my new microwave above the oven. Nice technicians too! I am impressed with their work!"
"Jusstin and Devon know their business--they're efficient, reliable, personable, and reasonably priced. Devon did a fantastic job of diagnosing problems with a patio lighting system in a place we'd just purchased, and about whose wiring we knew nothing. He figured it all out--chased down the problem, and fixed it! Wentzel Electric is all about code and certification, reassuring when we see what other less-qualified electricians and DIYers have installed in the past."
"I hired Juan to mount a TV on the wall at my house. He was prompt and very nice! He also helped me to install a new router and get my devices connected. Highly recommended for excellent service!"
"I hired MRA Electric to install a new electrical panel, new roof fan, and new wiring for a dryer I was moving. Nick is very professional, explained everything I needed done and was always on time. Lynne is the in-house support manager and I canâ t say enough good about her! I highly recommend the team of MRA and will be using them again."
"Glenn and his team were super awesome and professional throughout the process of installing 4 fans and 6 recess lights. They were punctual and respectful of my home... Cleaned up at the end of everyday. Price was below what others were charging for the same job and quality of work was beyond my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other electrical and wiring projects. Thank you Glen."

Ceiling fans require periodic cleaning of blades to avoid dust accumulation, checking screws and connections for firmness, and occasional lubrication for components, keeping the fan running smoothly and quietly over time.
To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.
Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.
There are many types of ceiling fans available, each designed for different spaces and needs. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type and work well in most rooms. Low-profile ceiling fans are better suited for rooms with low ceilings. Smart ceiling fans can be controlled with a smartphone or voice commands. For larger spaces with ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, large ceiling fans are ideal. Dual-motor fans have two motors to produce more airflow in multiple directions. You can also find energy-efficient or Energy-Star models that can be up to 60% more efficient, as well as fans with built-in lights or retractable blades.
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.
