Ceiling Fan Installation in Fairview
A ceiling fan moves enough air to take the edge off a hot upstairs, and the farmhouses with deep porches and the mid-century homes near the school both have rooms that could use one. The problem we find most often in Fairview is the box overhead. A standard light box is not built to carry a spinning, swaying fan, and a fan hung on one is a fan that eventually works loose.
We replace the box with a fan-rated one braced to the framing, so the weight and the wobble both have somewhere to go. On the older homes that usually means getting into the ceiling to add a brace bar between joists. We wire the fan and light to a switch that controls each separately, and we ground it.
We handle replacements and brand-new locations where no box exists yet, fishing the wall down to a outlets and switches point for the controls. If the existing ceiling box is scorched or the switch is failing, start with an outlet and switch repair. More is on our ceiling fan installation page, with everything local at Fairview.
