Questions we hear
Can you install a ceiling fan where there's no fixture?
Yes. We fish wire in from the closest circuit.
Which ceiling fan should I buy?
A DC motor model. It's quieter and uses a fraction of the power.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. An electrician looks at the job in person and quotes it, free.
