"Great. The replacement fan I had purchased would have required Tom to cut a larger hole in the ceiling necessitating dry wall repair. Tom was able to find a new fan motor that fit in the existing hole avoiding the new to repair a larger hole. He was on time and professional and and competitive with regard to fist. I intend to use Tom again when I am in need of an electrician. "
"We have used Evergreen twice. We were having issues with the breaker blowing when we would take showers in our hallway bathroom. The only things on were the light and the fan so we weren't sure why it would blow from that. They checked the breaker and everything on the system and finally found that it was the light part of the exhaust fan (that didn't even have a light bulb in it). They gave us a military discount and I felt we got a good price. They were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very nice and courteous when they showed up and did a great job. So when we were having an issue with another circuit a week later they came out and found a burned outlet in our dining room and replaced it for us. Again, they were about an hour later than they said they would be, but were very professional and courteous and were able to complete the work quickly. They gave us a military discount again and I think we got a great price for a great job done. We were happy with Evergreen and will use them for any future electrician needs."

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.
Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope.
If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.
The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.
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.
