"Ryan was able to give me a quote the next AM from when I reached out to Botelho Electric. I was visiting my daughter and needed someone to install a bathroom fan that was a bit above my pay grade. We ended up getting two fans replaced, overhead bedroom fan, new light fixture installed in the living room, an outdoor motion light out front and most importantly rewired the wiring in the upstairs bath. The guys arrived on time, very professional and it met my daughter's budget. Thanks!"

"Had a Tornado hit my house and ripped out my mains power. Figured I'd upgrade the panel while I was at it and have a generator outlet installed for when I lose power again. Nick was VERY professional - gave me a quote, showed up on time, answered all of my questions, and the price was exactly where I expected it to be. Job was very well done. When the power went back on, my fridge didn't have power. He helped me pull the fridge out to find a GFI outlet, and he helped me reset it. Was really just a huge help! The guy is clearly a hard worker who really knows what he's doing. What I love is that I didn't talk to a sales guy who then sent a couple of kids to do the job. I got a quote, and the guy I spoke to did the work. That's awesome. I can't recommend this guy highly enough! Will reach out for any and all electrical work in the future."
"Stand-up guy, honest and upfront from the first phone call. I have a really old house with lots of little projects that need doing. I would not hesitate to hire him again."
"Luis and his team did an outstanding job rewiring our entire home. I work from home, and they made sure to bring in an extension cord to hook up my router so that I never lost my internet connection. They were respectful of our home, and they cleaned up every evening so that we couldn't even tell they had been working on the house all day. They completed the entire job in only 3.5 days, which was significantly less time than we'd expected. They also fished the wires through the walls, leaving virtually no noticeable cosmetic damage to our drywall. We paid a very competitive price for the job and the exact number that Luis gave us in his estimate, even though I probably asked for a couple more new outlets than I'd originally been quoted for. Our new electrical system works great, and we feel like we have more peace of mind now. I would highly recommend LAD Electric to anyone looking for good, honest work at a fair price, and I will definitely be using them for any and all electrical work should I ever need anything down the line."
"Replaced two ceiling fans (living room & bedroom) and one ceiling light fixture (dining rm). This is an old house so one fan replacement needed a bit of upgrading. By using this company, I feel very secure that my family is safe. The two electricians were very courteous and on time both visits. I could go on-and-on----ALL GOOD"
"Jayron was the technician who performed the hardware troubleshooting. He was patient and quickly completed the job, improving the previous WiFi device installation."
"The KELCO team was fantastic! On time, pleasant, patient, and immaculate !! Being that I bought a â lemonâ Casablanca ceiling fan, ordering a second one, ( to find out that it was discontinued by Casablanca after 2 fan installs. ) And after a few trips later by the crew, AND the â ownerâ at KELCO overseeing that everything went perfect for me, I couldnâ t be more pleased with KELCO, their expertise, and my new ceiling fan! I would highly recommend KELCO by far, as the electrical company to hire! ;)"
Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts
On average, a bathroom fan lasts between five and ten years. The fan's lifespan depends on its quality, installation, and frequency of use. You can extend its life with regular cleaning and by promptly addressing any issues. Common signs that you need a new fan include mold growth, a burning smell, unusually loud noises during operation, or lingering odors in the bathroom. If your fan is no longer working as well as it once did, consider replacing it. The cost to install a new bathroom fan is typically between $240 and $550.
If your fan blades are spinning and there is no airflow, your blade pitch may be too flat, or your motor is failing. Adjusting the pitch is a simple DIY task if you have the tools. A failing motor is a bigger problem. You may need to replace your ceiling fan altogether. But fret not, we’ve got a guide for that!
It is unlikely that a ceiling fan will fall, even if it develops a wobble. During a proper installation, ceiling fans are securely bolted to a ceiling joist, and the fasteners used for mounting are generally separate from the components related to balancing. A wobble is typically caused by an imbalance, which can be annoying and may lead to other issues, but is not usually dangerous on its own.
However, if a fan is wobbling because it was not installed correctly, it could be at risk of falling. For safety, it's always a good idea to ensure all mounting screws are tight and to address any wobbling or imbalance issues promptly.
If you think your fan needs to be oiled, the first thing that you have to do is cut the power to the fan. The best and safest way to do this is by flipping the circuit breaker that leads to that room. Depending on the model of your fan, you may need to remove a cover. Look for a hole labeled oil. If there isn't one, check the manual or look for schematics online. Once located, use the recommended lubricant or spray.
There are many signs of a bad AC fan motor, including if the fan blades don’t spin when the AC kicks on or if they keep spinning when the AC is off. The AC fan cools down the condenser coil, so a faulty motor can also cause the system to overheat. Unusual noises in the exterior AC unit, including grinding or rattling sounds, may also be a sign that the AC fan motor is worn out.
