"They did a fabulous job and I would recommend them to anyone!! The crew was professional and definitely knew what they were doing. Even from the beginning when I was looking to upgrade my old electric panel, they showed me different options and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!"

"It went well. I had a slight problem with the newly-installed dimmer switch after the ceiling fixture was put in, but the issue appears to have been resolved. Thanks to the company for its prompt attention to the matter."

"Juan and Chris did a wonderful job. Everything works and looks great, and they even managed to cut just 2 holes in my ceiling, to install 5 new light fixtures and reassign switches to them. They were professional, considerate, and friendly. And Juan made friends with my insufficiently-napped toddler, which the toddler and I both enjoyed."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you’re removing a ceiling fan without visible screws, start by locating the fan canopy—a round cover placed above the fan blades and motor. There should be a thin ring that can be turned counterclockwise to remove the canopy and reveal the screws. After unscrewing the fan, you can disconnect the wires and remove the entire fan from the mounting hardware. For safety, make sure the fan switch is turned off before you remove the canopy. It may be easier to remove the fan blades first, too.

In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.

Since the cost of installing a ceiling fan is $250 for most homeowners, it might be beneficial to replace your existing fan if you are experiencing a significant repair issue, like a broken motor. However, for less expensive repairs, like a fan blade replacement, you’ll likely spend less on the repair than a complete fan replacement. Of course, if you’re looking for an upgrade or a new style fan, replacing it altogether is always an option.
