"Cole Electric has good communication with the customer from your first inquiry, email & text follow up . They requested photos of what I need to address so they understand all aspects of the job. The office contacted me to say the electrician could arrive early. The 2 electricians were professional knowledgeable and addressed my concerns. The ceiling fan installed by someone else was missing screws on the down rod as well as other things not done correctly. They replaced the missing screws, rebuilt the fan and reinstalled it. No more wobble. The 2 under cabinet light fixtures were installed perfectly, no extra cables showing. You get what you pay for and Cole Electric electricians do the job right the first time. I recommend this company and will use them again."

"Jeff was an absolute professional from phone calls to the completion of service. We had a single leak (a first-time issue in over two years of residence during a storm) coming from our downstairs bathroom ceiling fan and wanted it assessed and to take the opportunity to go from a standard exhaust fan to one with a light that we had purchased pre-service. Jeff went above and beyond a usual effort, going on the roof to ensure that the exhaust pipe would not be a future issue (while up there he fixed a slight kink in the aluminum causing the exhaust flap to hold open), cut drywall to fit the new fan, took out the old fan, installed the new fan with light (which included extremely well-done drywall patching around one edge that looks completely unnoticeable), and lastly cleaned the entire area. He not only accurately assessed and fixed what I had described and asked, but he earned a client - not only for his clear passion for his craft but for his master class quality- pun intended. If you have read this far and see him in your recommended after a search, hire him."

"Brian was very professional and quick to respond. However it turned out that our problem was not something he could handle. We really needed a HVAC person, but if I ever do need an electrician, I would certainly call Brian again."

"Tristan White and his crew upgraded our electrical panel and installed Tesla Wall connector. He got the permit, upgraded the Electrical panel to accommodate the tesla charging station. They wired about 100 feet cable from the panel through the attic to the charging station; from the front right of the house to the left back. Tristan has a great work ethic, very professional, and efficient. Above all is his integrity, a man of his word!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.

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.

There’s no reason why you can’t install a ceiling fan anywhere in your home, such as in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dining areas. Most bathrooms already have ventilation and don’t need a ceiling fan. For safety purposes, avoid installing a ceiling fan where the blades will be less than eight feet from the floor, near bunk beds, or anywhere else they may hit nearby objects.

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.

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.
