"I engaged McBride to install two ceiling fans at my house. The installer, Justin, did an excellent job on both and I'm very pleased with Justin and the work he did for me. For my next electrical project I will be calling McBride."
"The fan was installed quickly and works great! I was impressed with John’s work and communication about the project. I will definitely hire him in the future."
"This was such a pleasant experience!! He looked at the job in hand and discussed the possible actions,. We chose the one we wanted. Job completed exactly as we wanted and with an excellent result. No other contractors were prepared to even think about repairing our fan . All they wanted to do was replace it."
"Phil quickly identified the problem I had in my main bathroom and one of my bedrooms. The bad receptacle in the bathroom prevented the electrical current from reaching the bedroom. The receptacle replacement was done quickly, connection was re-established, and not having electricity in my bedroom for WAY longer than necessary (years! for fear of the cost) was resolved, and at a VERY reasonable price. The experience cured me of my fear of price gouging so I hired them again to resolve the electrical issues in another bedroom (same issue, no electricity for YEARS for fear of pricing). Aaron came out, replaced all the receptacles, the wall switch and the ceiling fixture box for one that is ceiling fan rated since that is my plan in the future, ti replace with a ceiling fan, all at what I consider a fair price, and very quickly. Both gentlemen left a clean and tidy workspace and were very respectful of my time. There are a few more projects to go before I'm done correcting all the electrical issues in my house, and I will be hiring them again. Thank you, Gentlemen, for a job well done at a fair price."
"These guys are the real deal. They've exceeded my expectations multiple times from interior lighting jobs to breaker panel updates, I won't let anyone else work on my system."

"My 1950, 860 ft house had 20+ yr old dusty, pink insulation, that was even worse after the city revamped utility vaults & pushed rats into the neighborhood. I chose S.R Insulation to vacuum out, caulk open voids, and re-blow insulation. The owner set up an appointment quickly. On the day of service, he did call 15 minutes late to advise of an issue. The 3 person team arrived within an hour, set up the vacuum and bags, then removed insulation; original, wood-shingle slips; and ducting left by A/C techs. They worked between 3 to 4 hours and said they would return next business day. The two part installation, gave me an idea - I asked for an extension, so I could repair ceiling sheet rock while the attic was void. The owner agreed. He did not require partial payment. Three weeks later, I rescheduled. The install was even quicker, filling up to the stud height in white, blown insulation. He leaves behind a cardboard measuring stick to show you. The difference inside the house was immediate. I will not provide calculations, as I added front load washer/dryer to the electric usage at this same time. Later, I found my stove top vent fan blocked. I was able to pull out material from the duct, and the fan worked. Therefore I did not call the owner about this. I paid less than $1500, and thought it fair. I would use S.R. Insulation again and recommend them."
Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can oil an electric fan with machine or motor oil but don’t use cooking oil because it can become thick or seize up, damaging the fan. Before oiling your fan, turn it off and remove any dust and debris. Wipe away any excess lubricant after oiling.
While ceiling fans shouldn’t get loose over time, they still can—especially if they’re installed incorrectly. A wobbling or tilted ceiling fan can shift the screws out of place, causing it to loosen and become a fall risk. It’s important to tighten screws and balance blades as soon as you notice that they’re misaligned or uneven to prevent the ceiling fan from loosening further and becoming a hazard.
Some disadvantages of a blower cooler—a type of cooling device sometimes known as a swamp cooler—are its increased energy demand and its higher noise level. Blowers require more energy to run because they push air out at a higher pressure. This also means a blower cooler can be louder than a fan. Blower coolers are also not recommended for humid areas because humidity limits their cooling potential.
While wood stove fans are effective for improving heat distribution, they rely on the stove reaching a certain temperature to operate efficiently. If the stove does not generate enough heat, the fan may not start or may not move air effectively. Additionally, like any fan, wood stove fans cannot cool a stove or reduce its heat output—they only redistribute existing warmth.
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.
