"Charleston electric was great to work with. The staff who scheduled the appointment were very professional and helpful. Paul installed the fans and ring devices and he was awesome!

"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."
If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.
There are several telltale signs to let you know that your ceiling fan needs servicing or replacement. For instance, if it’s wobbling, rotating too slowly, or if your ceiling fan is making noise such as squeaks, buzzes, and thumps, it’s time to have it looked at by a professional. Not only may it indicate a potential problem with the fan itself, but it could also signal a red flag that it’s improperly assembled or there’s an issue with the wiring.
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.
In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.
Hiring an electrician to install a new ceiling fan may be the best course of action. Installing a ceiling fan requires basic electrical and mechanical knowledge. It also requires holding it up with one hand and in an awkward position, making the installation even more difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with these circumstances, your best bet is to hire a professional.
