"Great. The replacement fan I had purchased would have required Tom to cut a larger hole in the ceiling necessitating dry wall repair. Tom was able to find a new fan motor that fit in the existing hole avoiding the new to repair a larger hole. He was on time and professional and and competitive with regard to fist. I intend to use Tom again when I am in need of an electrician. "
"We have used Evergreen twice. We were having issues with the breaker blowing when we would take showers in our hallway bathroom. The only things on were the light and the fan so we weren't sure why it would blow from that. They checked the breaker and everything on the system and finally found that it was the light part of the exhaust fan (that didn't even have a light bulb in it). They gave us a military discount and I felt we got a good price. They were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very nice and courteous when they showed up and did a great job. So when we were having an issue with another circuit a week later they came out and found a burned outlet in our dining room and replaced it for us. Again, they were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very professional and courteous and were able to complete the work quickly. They gave us a military discount again and I think we got a great price for a great job done. We were happy with Evergreen and will use them for any future electrician needs."

Yes, ceiling fans come with a few other features that help with function, style, and convenience. Multi-speed fans can give you specialized control over the airflow. Consider getting one with an integrated light to save ceiling space. Some ceiling fans come with a remote control that enables you to change direction without climbing a ladder. Of course, you can also consider installing a wall switch to enjoy that convenience.
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.
The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example:
Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.
Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.
Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.
Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.
Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.
