Why fans earn their keep in Charlotte

Charlotte summers are long, hot and humid. A fan spinning counterclockwise makes a room feel several degrees cooler, so you can nudge the thermostat up and still be comfortable, which shows up on the Duke Energy bill.

In winter, flip the fan to clockwise on low. It pushes warm air off the ceiling and back down into the room, which matters most in the two-story great rooms common in newer Charlotte-area homes.

Fan jobs we handle

Replace an existing fan

The old fan comes down, the box and wiring are checked, and the new one goes up the same visit.

Swap a light for a fan

Most light boxes can't hold a fan. A fan-rated box or brace is installed so it stays put.

Porch and screened-porch fans

Damp and wet-rated fans for front porches, screened porches and covered patios.

Two-story great rooms

Long downrods and the right ladder for 16 to 20 ft ceilings in newer homes.

Wobbly or noisy fans

Blades balanced, loose mounts tightened and worn parts replaced when the fan is worth keeping.

Remotes and smart controls

Wall controls, remotes and smart switches set up so the fan works from your phone.

Porch fans, rated for the weather

A screened or covered porch gets a damp-rated fan at minimum, and anything rain can blow onto gets a wet-rated fan with sealed hardware. Indoor fans used outside warp and rust through a couple of humid Carolina summers.

  • Adding a wall control, remote or smart switch

  • Number of fans installed on the same visit

Ceiling fan installation questions

How long does a fan install take?

A straight swap usually takes one to two hours. Adding a brace or a new switch adds time, and it's included in the quote.

Can you install a fan where there's only a light?

Usually, yes. Send a photo of the ceiling and the existing fixture and you'll get a price that covers the fan-rated box.

Can you hang a fan in a two-story great room?

Yes. Downrods are sized for the height and the right ladder comes on the truck. Send a photo that shows the ceiling height and it's priced in the quote.

Do you install several fans in one visit?

Yes. Multi-fan jobs are priced per fan, with a better rate after the first.
