"Very quick response to my initial request. Installed a ceiling fan in a new location within a week. While there, we asked them to add an outlet to a bathroom. No problem for Engelhart. Quality, timely work, and they cleaned up after!"

"We had Shawn come to our home to install a ceiling fan in our living room with a raised ceiling. He was very kind, courteous, honest, and very professional. He knew what he was doing and made me feel assured of the quality of his work. One catch though is that WireOne has an initial dispatch fee and then works off of a standard pricing sheet so my particular install got quite expensive. The pricing sheet covers almost any imaginable service/job and scenario that they could do but definitely seems to favor them (probably factoring in most time expected to complete the work, worst case in supply cost, etc.); but as a customer you know upfront exactly what the cost will be and can choose whether to do it or not. They offer great quality work and you know they're doing everything right, but you may end up paying for it depending on the service/job that you're looking for."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.

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.

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.

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.
