"Ryan did a great job. Showed up when he said he would, took great care in cleaning up after installing the bathroom ceiling exhaust fan I had purchased. If I need any additional electrical work, I will be calling Ryan."
"They were professional, down to Earth, on time and I appreciated the time they took trying to diagnose an issue and with suggesting to call the electric company with the issue we were having."
"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."
"Outstanding experience from start to finish. The pro arrived on time, worked efficiently, and installed the ceiling fan with precision and care. The workmanship was excellent—everything is secure, balanced, and looks great. They also left the space clean and were courteous throughout. It’s clear they take pride in their work. I highly recommend them for any electrical or installation needs."
"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."
"After submitting my request via Home Advisor, I was contacted by Chris withing 30 minutes. He set up an appointment for a week later. The electricians were there at the scheduled time and completed several repairs and replacements (ceiling fans, smoke alarms), and new installations (cable outlet and plugs) efficiently and meticulously. I recommend them highly as their work was excellent throughout."
Bathroom Fan Installation FAQs, answered by experts
When choosing a mounting bracket, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.
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.
Depending on the thickness of the carpet, it can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours for carpet to dry with a fan. The humidity and temperature of the room also play a role in drying time, as added moisture in the air can result in longer drying time.
Duct fans in HVAC systems last an average of 15 to 20 years. Because these fans operate in relatively controlled environments, they can maintain their efficiency for a long period of time. To maximize the lifespan of your duct booster fan, have your HVAC system maintained regularly.
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.
