"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 questions, answered by experts

When choosing a mounting bracket, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.

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.

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.

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.

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.
