Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fans are a great way to keep your home comfortable year-round. Having the highest-quality ceiling fans in your home is crucial for comfort, especially during the sweltering Midwest summers. It’s wise to work with experienced electricians when it comes to repairing, replacing or installing new ceiling fans given that many fans are intertwined with light fixtures and due to the involvement of intricate wiring.
At WIREONE, we have the skills and knowledge to assist you in a variety of ceiling fan services.
Why should you consider having new ceiling fans installed?
If your home does not currently have ceiling fans in each room you spend quality time in, you’ll want to consider adding them to enhance your comfort level and cut down on cooling costs. With the wide variety of options on the market, ceiling fans can also transform the esthetic value of your room. Ceiling fans have also become popular additions to porches, patios and other seasonal rooms that lack proper air conditioning.
When should you consider replacing your current ceiling fans?
If you’re concerned that it might be time to replace your ceiling fans, take a few minutes to inspect your existing units. If you notice that any of the fans in your home are emitting a buzzing or squeaking sound or appear as if they are shaking or wobbling, they need to be replaced immediately. Buzzing, squeaking and wobbling are all signs that your ceiling fan is in a dangerous condition, which could lead to further issues with the electrical system in your home.
How do you know if your current ceiling fans are the right fit?
If designed and installed properly, fans should distribute air in the room evenly. The size and layout of your room will determine the necessary fan size and whether you need more than one.
- Rooms that measure about 75 square feet need a fan with a 29- to 36-inch blade diameter.
- For rooms measuring 76 to 144 square feet, choose a fan with a blade diameter of 36 to 42 inches.
- If the room size is 144 to 225 square feet, select a fan with a 44-inch blade diameter.
- For rooms that are 225 to 400 square feet, use a fan with a blade diameter of 50 to 54 inches.
When installed, the fan blade tips should be at least 30 inches from the walls and other obstructions. The bottom edges of the blades should be at least 7 feet above the floor. Once you select a fan, check the included documentation for any additional requirements for blade clearance or ceiling height.
If you are unsure your current setup is the right fit, contact WIREONE and we’ll ensure you have what you need to be comfortable.
