"Victor called me immediately and came over to look at my electrical problem. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing. Even though he could not fix the problem we now know we have defective ceiling fans and it is definitely not an electrical problem."
"This was a large project for us, and we definitely slowed them down more than they did us (by taking time to make our choices and decisions and by adding a few things to the job). They were always accommodating and helpful. Their prices were not the cheapest, but they were always fair and reasonable, and there was never any sense that they were trying to pad the job in any way. We were not as clear as we should have been in the beginning about whose responsibility it would be to pay for repairing the sheet rock on the ceiling in the kitchen after changing out the lights, but I think that was our fault, not Mike's. Always in a job like this, there are repairs that need to be made that weren't anticipated in the bid and original plan, but they were all handled in a fair and timely way. The crews did quality work and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. Mike and Logan did a great job of making sure any problems were corrected and the job was completed to our satisfaction. All in all, a very professional job, a pleasure to deal with, and we would definitely hire them again if we need any more work done!
"The electrician was punctual and professional, although there was some confusion as to the pricing. Why am I choosing NOT to use them for additional work? Over the top pricing. Other chandeliers (requiring an electrical box in the ceiling) were priced at just under $800 per chandelier. This was substantially higher than anyone else's quote."
Though possible, installing a ceiling fan yourself requires electrical knowledge and confidence working with home wiring. Following the manufacturer's instructions carefully and observing safety precautions are crucial components of a DIY installation.
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.
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.
If you’re removing a ceiling fan without visible screws, start by locating the fan canopy—a round cover placed above the fan blades and motor. There should be a thin ring that can be turned counterclockwise to remove the canopy and reveal the screws. After unscrewing the fan, you can disconnect the wires and remove the entire fan from the mounting hardware. For safety, make sure the fan switch is turned off before you remove the canopy. It may be easier to remove the fan blades first, too.
The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs.
During summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This will push cooler air downward in a column and help lower your room’s air temperature. In the winter, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise and at the lowest speed setting. This will pull cool air upwards, displacing the warm air that pools towards the top of your ceiling and bringing it down towards the floor.
