Get matched with top ceiling fan pros in Covington, TN

Q: How far from the floor should a ceiling fan be mounted?

• <div><p>Generally, a ceiling fan should be mounted at least seven feet from the floor in the center of your room with a wall clearance of around 18 inches. If your ceiling is more than eight feet high, it&rsquo;s recommended by experts that the ceiling fan be mounted around eight to nine feet from the ground. This helps ensure a better quality of circulated airflow.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a fan on a sloped ceiling?

• <div><p>Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a ceiling fan myself?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t require a permit, but there&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Is a 52-inch fan too big for a 12x12 room?

• <div><p>For a 12x12 room, a fan between 36&quot; and 50&quot; 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.</p></div>

Q: What is the most efficient ceiling fan height?

• <div><p>The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.</p></div>

Someone had accidentally stepped through my ceiling from the attic. Penazola's did a great job at a fair price, even matched the aging, existing ceiling. Only took a couple of hours, and cleaned up well after. No muss, no fuss.

He responded fairly quickly and was easy to communicate with. The crew were a pleasure to hear their friendly chatting with each other. The ceiling looks fantastic! Can’t tell I fell through it. The circle of house paint left on lawn was disappointing. Otherwise it was a 5 star experience!

"The furnace took 4 days to get approved( not counting a Sunday) the others were quick but the water heater had to be ordered so without hot water for a week. One ceiling fan was easy but within a year their policy changed and They would not install the one I purchased and had to get a new one approved and then ordered online and took several weeks to get straightened out. Not sure who was at fault, AHS, installer or scheduling with renter. Fee is usually $75 per visit"
