"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."

"The service was great. Jomoniq an Jeff arrived at the appointed time and went right to work. They were professional and responsive. Very easy to work with. One of the ceiling fans was located in a room with a 20" ceiling. It was a tough install and they did a great job. I'd recommend them to anyone needing electrical service and certainly use them again myself.

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

Many ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes tend to be made of metal. However, some electrical boxes may also be made of heavy-duty plastic that is reinforced with metal support structures. It may also have an attachment that connects directly to a ceiling joist. If you are ever ensure, consult with a licensed professional to get their insight on best practices and whether the installation is a safe one.

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.

The more surface area that a ceiling fan blade has, the more effective it will be at producing airflow. Therefore, a longer ceiling fan blade is the better option if you’re looking for more wind. However, a longer blade will consume more energy than a shorter blade.

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.
