"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."
"He was punctual, very nice and efficient. He had everything he needed and put together the fans quickly. After he installed both them and the remotes, he thoroughly explained how they worked, i.e. how to use the dimmer for the lights, etc. Very happy with the job he did. "
For a 12x12 room, a fan between 36" and 50" will work, as it falls in the range for spaces up to 144 square feet. These size fans provide adequate air circulation and ensure a comfortable environment without being overpowering. Even better, they come in a broad range of styles, offering aesthetics and functionality, making them suitable choices for maintaining an ideal room temperature and enhancing overall comfort.
Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM. You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.
Essential tools for ceiling fan installation include a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a circuit tester. If the ceiling is angled or features unique configurations, ensure the availability of a compatible mounting bracket.
Ceiling fans offer multiple benefits for your home. They improve air circulation to prevent stagnant environments and provide cost-effective temperature control, which can reduce reliance on your HVAC system and help lower utility bills. In addition to their functional advantages, ceiling fans can also enhance a room's aesthetic appeal with features like built-in lighting and modern styling.
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.
