What is the lifespan of a ceiling fan?

• <div><p>Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.</p></div>

What size fan do you need?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">the size of attic fan you need</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: How do I install a ceiling fan if the ceiling isn’t already wired?

• <div><p>If your home doesn&rsquo;t have the existing wiring to power a ceiling fan, you may need to hire a certified electrician to set it up for you. Building codes in some parts of the country require this part to be done by an expert. And in general, you want peace of mind that your electricals are installed correctly.</p></div>

Q: Which fan material is best?

• <div><p>Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.</p><p>Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.</p><p>Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren&rsquo;t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan in my home?

• <div><p>The basic <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-ceiling-fan-installation-cost.htm">cost to install a ceiling fan</a> ranges from <b>$145 to $355</b> and averages <b>$250</b>. If the installation has higher demands, such as new or complex wiring, your bill will likely be on the higher end. Other factors, such as an included light kit, installing switches, and ease of access can also affect the final cost.</p></div>

My experience with Ashanti Services LLC could not have gone better. Promptly responded to my job inquiry for installation of a ceiling fan on a vaulted ceiling and completed the job in a timely, professional, and courteous manner. Highly recommend. Thank you Ashanti Services LLC!

The technician was amazing! He called 15 minutes before he showed up (which I always find very helpful) and installed the fan in a very quick, but thorough, manner. Would definitely recommend and/or hire again!
