"I called Scotty when I ordered a new fan last week and we agreed I would call him when It arrived at Lowes. It came a day later than promised and I had called Scotty to let him know. When I called at noon today to say it had arrived, I assumed he could not come until tomorrow or later. As it turned out, his schedule had changed and he and his brother were there within the hour. They were courteous, professional, respected my property, and gave me the advertised 5% discount. They answered my questions. I would not hesitate to use their services in the future or to recommend them to others.

"Called in the morning expecting to have someone possibly come by to do an estimate.  Mike Cole called back by the end of the day and after asking a few questions about my needs, gave me a verbal estimate to furnish, install and wire 2 bath fans.  Several workers arrived the next day as scheduled.  Fans were installed with great care and precision.  I added a few other repairs to the list and gave them the option of coming back at some other time to finish the work.  They opted to complete the list in the same visit.  I cannot say enough good things about the job.  The workers were polite and answered all my questions and there was no mess for me to clean!  I will use them again."

Ceiling Fans FAQs, answered by experts

The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. 

During summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This will push cooler air downward in a column and help lower your room’s air temperature. In the winter, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise and at the lowest speed setting. This will pull cool air upwards, displacing the warm air that pools towards the top of your ceiling and bringing it down towards the floor.

Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a difficult and potentially dangerous job that should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is recommended to hire a certified electrician to build the necessary electrical infrastructure. In some areas, building codes require this work to be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance. Due to the complexity, this type of installation is a significant job that could cost up to $2,000.

There are many types of ceiling fans available, each designed for different spaces and needs. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type and work well in most rooms. Low-profile ceiling fans are better suited for rooms with low ceilings. Smart ceiling fans can be controlled with a smartphone or voice commands. For larger spaces with ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, large ceiling fans are ideal. Dual-motor fans have two motors to produce more airflow in multiple directions. You can also find energy-efficient or Energy-Star models that can be up to 60% more efficient, as well as fans with built-in lights or retractable blades.

Generally, a ceiling fan should be mounted at least seven feet from the floor in the center of your room with a wall clearance of around 18 inches. If your ceiling is more than eight feet high, it’s recommended by experts that the ceiling fan be mounted around eight to nine feet from the ground. This helps ensure a better quality of circulated airflow.

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.
