Ceiling Fan - Installation

Service Description

Ceiling Fan Replacement/Installation Service This service covers the removal of an existing ceiling fan and the installation of a new one, or the installation of a new fan where one did not previously exist (requiring additional wiring). We handle all aspects of the job, from safely disconnecting the old wiring to ensuring the new fan is balanced and operates smoothly. Service Details: • Removal of Existing Fan (if applicable): We carefully disconnect the wiring, detach the fan blades and motor housing, and remove the mounting bracket. • Inspection: We inspect the existing wiring and junction box to ensure they are in good condition and meet current electrical codes. For new installations, we'll determine the best wiring route and ensure proper support for the fan. • Assembly of New Fan: We assemble the new fan according to the manufacturer's instructions, including attaching the blades, light kit (if included), and downrod. • Installation of Mounting Bracket: We securely install the appropriate mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box, ensuring it can support the weight of the fan. • Wiring and Connections: We carefully connect the wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes, using appropriate wire nuts and connectors. • Installation of Fan and Testing: We attach the fan motor housing to the mounting bracket, install the fan blades and light kit, and test the fan's operation at all speeds, ensuring it is balanced and does not wobble. Factors Affecting Job Time and Cost: • Existing Wiring: If wiring needs to be run to a new location, this will increase both time and cost. • Ceiling Height: High ceilings may require special equipment and additional time. • Fan Complexity: Fans with intricate designs, remote controls, or multiple light kits may take longer to install. • Accessibility: Obstructions in the attic or crawl space can increase the time required for new wiring installations. Estimated Time to Complete: • Simple Replacement (same size, existing wiring): 1-2 hours • Replacement with minor wiring adjustments or high ceiling: 2-3 hours • New Installation (requiring new wiring): 3-5 hours or more (depending on complexity and accessibility)
