"Just bought a older home, and wanted to get heat pump inspected before turning it on for the season. Scott checked everything and walked me through some options for fixes (some I knew about and was happy he independently found them)."

"Had a ceiling light stop working and called Malone Electrical to come out. The tech found the issue pretty quick and we ended up having a new light installed while he was there. Everything was explained clearly, the work was done the same day, and he cleaned everything up when he was finished. Really easy experience from start to finish. Would definitely call Malone again."

"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."

"We hired Dennis and his team to install 5 ceiling fans in our home. A Plus Electric was the only company out of 4 to come to our house and look at the rooms. The price quoted by Dennis was very reasonable and they were able to accommodate installation on a Saturday. Their pricing was half of what one company quoted me for the same job. Candace was very responsive and on top of questions and keeping us informed regarding installation. We are very happy to have ceiling fans with lighting in our bedrooms and living room now. Would definitely recommend and will use again for other electrical needs."

"Had Malone Electrical Solutions install an outdoor lamppost and they did great work. They handled the wiring and setup without any issues and now it lights up the yard perfectly. Really happy with how it turned out."

"I had them in for a second opinion on what could be done to fix my air conditioner. The contractor I had before did not tell me the exact reason for the problem nor tell me he could fix it. They suggested the HVAC system be replaced. Parish immediately told me the problem and what could be done to fix my air conditioner. My System most likely will need to be replaced in a year or so and I was given estimates within a very short period of time that we’re very detailed. I had a great experience with them."

"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

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’t require a permit, but there’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.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.

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.
