About Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans will make a significant difference in your home’s climate (both cooling and heating), at a far lower cost and operating expense than almost any other item. Experts say a ceiling fan can save up to 40% on your summer cooling cost and up to 10% during the winter.

Installing ceiling fans is a job suited for a professional electrician, since careful tuning and installation will give you the best results with your fan. Get the most from your investment when we properly install your ceiling fan for optimal function.

  • We check the blade clearance not only to protect your ceiling, but also to get the most air movement from your ceiling fan.
  • Make sure you have adequate power to the junction box. It’s very important to make sure that you have the appropriate electrical service to accommodate your new ceiling fan.
  • Install the ceiling fan box if needed.
  • Securely mount the fan. One of the biggest mistakes made with installing fans is using inappropriate mounting hardware. Failed mounting can result in injury to property or family members.
  • Assemble the fan.

How can I make my home feel cooler?

Installing a ceiling fan creates the same effect as a breeze in the summer. With a ceiling fan light kit you can keep cool and bring light into any room. It helps cool the room a couple degrees making it more comfortable to be in. The blades should be blowing air down on people. If you look up at the fan from below the blades should be rotating in a counter-clockwise motion with the upturned edges leading.

In winter you can turn the switch and the fan will help warm the room by pulling the cool air up toward the ceiling.

Can I save energy by using a ceiling fan?

Ceiling fan motors generally use less energy than air conditioners and furnaces. Using a ceiling fan is a good way to cool a room while using less energy.

Even if you have a screened in porch, an outdoor ceiling fan should be installed because indoor fans can break or short. A shorted out ceiling fan may cause a fire.

Ceiling Fan Installation Reviews

“I just want you to know that I had the greatest experience with your company. Starting with the first phone call to Ronn – he was so polite and helpful. You sent a young man, Petrus, to do the job. He went to great lengths to explain everything to me. I’ll admit I’m a woman and know nothing about electric issues. I have already sent another customer to you. Thank you so very much for having great people working for you and making me feel important.” – Jayne Welsch
