Can ceiling fans be installed anywhere?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

What size fan should I get?

• <div><p>The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example: </p><ul><li><p>Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.</p></li><li><p>Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.</p></li><li><p>Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.</p></li><li><p>Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Does a ceiling fan have to be wired to a switch?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How do I know I need my ceiling fan repaired or replaced?

• <div><p>There are several telltale signs to let you know that your ceiling fan needs servicing or replacement. For instance, if it’s wobbling, rotating too slowly, or if your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-is-my-ceiling-fan-making-noise.htm">ceiling fan is making noise</a> such as squeaks, buzzes, and thumps, it’s time to have it looked at by a professional. Not only may it indicate a potential problem with the fan itself, but it could also signal a red flag that it’s improperly assembled or there’s an issue with the wiring. </p></div>

"The furnace took 4 days to get approved( not counting a Sunday) the others were quick but the water heater had to be ordered so without hot water for a week. One ceiling fan was easy but within a year their policy changed and They would not install the one I purchased and had to get a new one approved and then ordered online and took several weeks to get straightened out. Not sure who was at fault, AHS, installer or scheduling with renter. Fee is usually $75 per visit"
