Frequently asked questions about ceiling fan installation services
Ceiling fans do not cool the air. Ceiling fans move the air around in a room, the increased circulation helps evaporate sweat from skin which is why ceiling fans are popular for making a room feel cooler in the warm months. If you or various people are in a room all day, it is fine to keep the ceiling fan running. In fact, it is fine to keep a ceiling fan running all night long, too. But if nobody is in the room to enjoy the air circulation, it doesn’t make sense to run a fan all day or all night long. The fan itself generates heat which slightly raises the temperature in the room.
So, it’s safe enough to keep your ceiling fan going day in and day out. Just make sure you’re using the fan in the most beneficial manner possible.
Generally speaking, ceiling fans last approximately 10 years depending on the quality of the fans you’ve got in your home. There are various factors that can influence the length of a ceiling fan’s lifespan. The first thing to consider is how much use the ceiling fan gets. The number of hours in a day the fan is left running, and the number of days you use the fan can affect the condition of the fan. Fans are built to be used, however use will add wear and tear to the mechanical unit. Depending on the ceiling fan’s workload, it may offer diminishing benefits over time which may trigger a replacement.
There are some specific signs that suggest you may need a pro to look at your ceiling fan. If the fan is making a buzzing sound there could be a problem with the capacitors or motor windings. If the fan wobbles, squeaks or continually slows down, consult a pro. If you’ve had a fan issue repaired by a technician but the glitch returns, it may be time to replace the fan.
If your ceiling fan has been failing, possibly continually breaking down or wobbling and squeaking, it may be time to have it replaced. The good news is that having a ceiling fan replaced is a fairly quick process. A technician or electrician can swap out the existing fan for a new one easily as long as the electrical requirements for each fan are roughly the same and the size and weight of each of the fans is similar.
If you are updating the style and overall feel of a room, replacing the ceiling fan with a more modern model is an effective step. While a ceiling fan is not a prominent feature in a room, it reinforces the overall design of the space. If your existing fan is still working, you could consider switching out the blades and adding a light to update the look. In any case, a qualified professional will replace your ceiling fan more quickly than most homeowners. It makes sense to hire a pro to get your new fan installed safely and correctly.
The cost to install or replace a ceiling fan will vary according to a number of factors. The labor cost will vary according to how much electricians in your area typically charge per hour. Electricians’ rates will vary according to their level of expertise, as well. The size of the replacement job, whether you want to replace or install a single or multiple fans will affect the cost of the installation. Additionally, the complexity of the installation or replacement project will affect how much you can expect to pay.
Another big factor that affects a ceiling fan installation cost is the type of fan you choose to install. Higher quality fans will be more expensive, but they may last longer and offer better service for the price. When choosing a ceiling fan for your replacement or new installation, look carefully at the warranty and delivery features. These can affect the price of the fan and may offer welcome added value.
