"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
The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option.
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.
It depends on your budget and cooling needs. Whole-house fans keep your home breezy by pulling in cool air and pushing out hot air. In places with milder climates, they can replace air conditioning. On the other hand, Attic fans focus on keeping your attic cool—not your entire house. Often, whole-house fans cost more than attic fans, with installation ranging from $600 to $3,600.
Your bathroom exhaust fan shouldn't be loud. However, bath fans come in a wide variety of models, price points, and loudness characteristics, and yours may be louder or quieter than others you notice. Economy models tend to be the noisiest, with levels of 4.0 sones or more, which is about the sound of an electric shaver, while some high-end models can be barely audible.
Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.
Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.
Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.
