Installed, balanced, and quiet.
In a Houston summer, a good ceiling fan is not decor - it is several degrees of comfort per room. Installed on fan-rated boxes, balanced so they never wobble, and wired right.
A fan is 15 to 25 pounds of spinning weight overhead, which is why the electrical box it hangs from matters more than the fan brand. Many homes have light-rated boxes holding fans they were never meant to hold. We check, upgrade when needed, and balance every install.
What is included
- New fan installs and replacements at existing locations
- Fan-rated box verification, upgraded where the old box does not qualify
- High and vaulted ceiling installs with proper downrods
- Remote and wall-control setup
- Blade balancing - the difference between quiet and clicking
- Licensed electrical partners for new circuits or switch runs
How it works
- Check the box. Fan-rated or not - the safety question most installs skip.
- Install and wire. Mounted solid, wired correctly, controls configured.
- Balance. Every fan run through its speeds and balanced to still.
- Test together. All speeds, directions and controls checked with you.
What drives the price
- Fan count - grouped installs in one visit are the efficient route
- Ceiling height: vaulted rooms and stair ceilings need staging
- Box upgrades where the existing one is not fan-rated
- New switch or circuit needs via licensed partners
Common questions
Why does my fan wobble?
Blade imbalance if minor; the box or mounting if the wobble is real. A fan on a non-fan-rated box is working its way loose in slow motion. We check the mounting first - it is the part that matters.
Which direction should the fan spin?
Counterclockwise in summer to push air down; clockwise on low in winter to circulate warm air off the ceiling. Most people never flip the switch - it is worth the ladder trip, or we set it while we are there.
Do bigger rooms need bigger fans?
Yes - blade span should match room size, and vaulted ceilings need downrods that bring the fan to effective height. An undersized fan on a tall ceiling is decorative. We will size it honestly for the room.
