"I had a light switch develop a 'hot' smell last night. My wife also go shocked pretty hard when we took the case off of it and she was just holding her hand to the front of the switch to see if it felt hot. She didn't stick her finger back in the switch or anything that would justifiably shock her. I called William Jean this morning, and he was able to get someone out to my house by early afternoon, so he was very responsive. The contractor who came to my house turned the power back on, then proceeded to go through and test the switches and connections. He told her everything was fine, so she asked how she got shocked and he told her that she didn't get shocked. Well, yes, she did. He told us the switch that had the light/fan on it wasn't powerful enough and that was what was causing the smell, but he didn't have one he could install. We would have to go purchase a new one and then he could come out and install it. Well, I won't be having him install the switch. $70 cash (a slight discount for cash) to tell us the switch wasn't powerful enough seems a bit steep, and since he completely discounted the notion that she got shocked, I'm not convinced that there isn't another problem in the switch box."

"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"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Hiring an electrician to install a new ceiling fan may be the best course of action. Installing a ceiling fan requires basic electrical and mechanical knowledge. It also requires holding it up with one hand and in an awkward position, making the installation even more difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with these circumstances, your best bet is to hire a professional.

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.

Ceiling fans offer multiple benefits for your home. They improve air circulation to prevent stagnant environments and provide cost-effective temperature control, which can reduce reliance on your HVAC system and help lower utility bills. In addition to their functional advantages, ceiling fans can also enhance a room's aesthetic appeal with features like built-in lighting and modern styling.
