"It went great they replaced 3 ceiling fans and 1 wall fixture and it could not have a better experience. They were prompt and went right to work, they were pleasant and professional. The price was very fair. I could not complain about one thing if I wanted to. I highly recommend Griffin Electric for all of your electrical work."

"Great troubleshooting. Joseph found the real issue was with my light switch so the light fixture did not need replacing. He also replaced the bathroom exhaust fan, which included a trip to Lowes and going into the attic. Joseph is very efficient and professional and repaired everything I needed. Prices are very reasonable. I will call him again for future electrical needs."

"Our ceiling fan ceased working. Unfortunately, the electrician was not able to actually fix our problem, but he determined that the motor on our ceiling fan (which we had installed a few months ago) was defective so that we could return it and exchange it for a new one. While he was here, he installed a surge protector on our main breaker box. If we have other electrical problems in the future, I will definitely call Royal electric."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, ceiling fans come with a few other features that help with function, style, and convenience. Multi-speed fans can give you specialized control over the airflow. Consider getting one with an integrated light to save ceiling space. Some ceiling fans come with a remote control that enables you to change direction without climbing a ladder. Of course, you can also consider installing a wall switch to enjoy that convenience.

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.

Since the cost of installing a ceiling fan is $250 for most homeowners, it might be beneficial to replace your existing fan if you are experiencing a significant repair issue, like a broken motor. However, for less expensive repairs, like a fan blade replacement, you’ll likely spend less on the repair than a complete fan replacement. Of course, if you’re looking for an upgrade or a new style fan, replacing it altogether is always an option. 

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.
