"Our electrician, Chad, did a great job. He was prompt and courteous and went to work immediately to replace our hanging kitchen light with a ceiling fan. The ceiling at that point is 13 feet high. For our safety, he took the extra time to insure that the existing electrical box would handle the extra weight of the fan.  He tested our fan and cleaned up after the job. Really professional.
My only hiccup was the pricing.
After surveying the work to be done he wrote the quote of $148. on a plain piece of paper. When I asked about a seniors or Angie?s List discount he said that he couldn?t discount an already discounted price. (??).  I was expecting a price of ~$84. (with a fee for ceilings over 10? ? as advertised on Angie?s website).

"He was awesome. He was worried that the ceiling fan was "wobbling" due to ceiling imperfections. Neither my husband nor I could see a thing. I have 2 more ceiling fans that need to be replaced. I can't hold them up myself and I will call him to replace them.

"I got an Angie's Deal for 16 hours of painting services. (2 painters, one day - you supply the paint & some sundry items like rollers) The tricky thing was guessing how much could be done in that time. The Deal doesn't come with an estimate so you're on your own there. I did a bunch of prep work, which left painting the walls & ceilings. I had another project in the wings in case I had underestimated & they had time left over (which I had not so they finished right under the 8 hours). I was/am happy with the work, and was so glad not to have to do it myself! I probably won't do that Deal (or similar) again because of the uncertainty involved in working by the hour vs. by the project."

"JR and assistant were very professional. They installed 3 ceiling fans with lights and a dining room chandelier. He even installed my shower curtain rod without an extra fee. There was a small problem I noticed after they left. I called JR and he returned within a few days to correct the issue. I felt the price was fair and will definitely call them again."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Whether you can install a ceiling fan yourself depends on if you're replacing an existing fixture or installing one where no wiring exists. If you are replacing an existing fan, an experienced DIYer may be able to do the job, which can save on labor costs. This work typically doesn’t require a permit, but there’s always a safety risk when dealing with electrical components, so hiring a pro is still a good idea, especially if you aren't handy. Keep in mind you may need a special ladder for high or vaulted ceilings. However, if you are installing a new ceiling fan where there is no current fixture, you must hire a licensed electrician. In most areas, it is required by law that a professional runs new wiring and pulls the necessary permits. Attempting to install wiring yourself can be dangerous and a code violation.

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.
