4 Reasons Why You Should Have a Licensed Electrician Install a Ceiling Fan
A ceiling fan is a good investment in your home. It improves airflow for greater comfort and combats moisture that promotes mold and deterioration of paint, fixtures, and your personal possessions. A great ceiling fan also complements your home’s style. It can be tempting to try installing a ceiling fan yourself. However, here are four reasons why you should reconsider that idea and have a licensed electrician perform your ceiling fan installation:
- Professionals know how to prevent ceiling damage. A ceiling fan often requires cutting a larger hole in the ceiling or cutting a new hole. Cutting holes in the ceiling in DIY projects sometimes causes damage that is expensive to repair. Licensed electricians are professionals in this area of home improvement and will manage to enlarge or cut new holes without unexpected damage.
- Wiring fixtures without experience can be dangerous. One of the most dangerous areas of DIY home improvement is in working with electrical wiring. Installing a ceiling fan or a lighting fixture or appliance that necessitates rewiring or connecting to existing residential wiring requires experience, to ensure immediate and long-term safety. A professional electrician is thoroughly trained in safe wiring practices, recognizes safety issues, and performs every action safely.
- Licensed electricians are ceiling box experts. Very often, homeowners attempting to install a ceiling fan are unaware that different types of fan configurations require different kinds of ceiling electrical boxes. Installing the wrong electrical box can cause the fan not to be as securely installed as it needs to be for safety and long-term operability. A licensed electrician has all necessary parts and installation materials and supplies readily on hand, to ensure that your new fan functions safely and through all the years of its life expectancy.
- Professional electrical work adds value to your home. DIY electrical work does not inspire the same level of confidence in home buyers that having electrical projects, like a ceiling or attic fan installation, or a whole house fan installation completed by professionals does. In fact, knowing a home has been modified with DIY electrical projects can worry many buyers. Especially if you’re planning multiple electrical installations inside and outside your home, noting that the work was all professionally done is a positive point with prospective buyers.
For the greatest practical benefit and enjoyment from your new ceiling fan and for the long-term safety of your home and its occupants, always call a licensed electrician for equipment installations.
Exhaust Fan Installation, and Replacement in New Jersey
An exhaust fan is one of the important accessories that every home should have. The exhaust fans pull the excess moisture and unwanted smells of a particular room. Exhaust fans can often be found in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, attic, garage, and basement.
Why Do You Need Exhaust Fans?
The main function of the exhaust fans is to pull out any excess moisture or smells from different rooms in the house. This means that they provide ventilation in your house to prevent chemical fumes from building up, and also remove any contaminants that can be dangerous to breathe in. Exhaust fans cool down areas that get hot in your house. The exhaust fans vent the hot air outdoors, thereby reducing the temperature of your house even when you are not using the air conditioner. Exhaust fans are responsible for removing the excess moisture that could damage your home. When hot water cools down and condenses on walls, or any other surfaces, mold can grow. The exhaust fans prevent the growth of mold in your home by ensuring that all the excess moisture in your house has been removed.
Exhaust Fans for Attic
The attic is another place in your house that will benefit from an exhaust fans. Exhaust fans help ensure your attic remains moisture-free. When the attic has excess moisture, the moisture can damage the roof. When you have an attic fan, the life of your roof will be extended. The exhaust fans also provide ventilation in the attic and the house at large, contributing to reduced power costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exhaust Fans
Ceiling Fan Installation
- Measure the length and width of your room, and use those measurements to calculate the square feet of the space.
- Then measure the height of the room.
- Then check the area dimensions of the fan you want. Make sure that the diameter of the fan is appropriate for the square footage of the room.
- Next, check the fan’s downrod length and compare it to the room’s height measurement to ensure that the fan will not hang too low from the ceiling. Allow a minimum of 10 to 12 inches clearance between the ceiling and the fan blades for sufficient airflow.
To ensure proper connections and safe operation, have your new ceiling fan installation completed by a licensed electrician.
Another potential cause of noise from a ceiling fan is a loose wire connector inside the switch housing. If you suspect that this is the problem, you should not attempt to repair it yourself. You may need to replace the fan or have it repaired by a qualified professional.
If there is noise or any other problem with your ceiling fan that cannot be corrected without opening the cover on the motor, or the switch, or other mechanical or electrical parts of a ceiling fan, check your warranty. If the fan is no longer covered under warranty, then you are advised to replace the fan or take it to a licensed professional.
So, using a ceiling fan is a great way to stay cool and comfortable in your home while saving energy costs. You might even find that you can avoid running your air conditioner through a large percentage of the hot weather period of the year.
Attic Fan Installation
Installing an attic fan facilitates the exchange of inside and outside air serves to assist a home’s HVAC system in cooling the living spaces below the attic. It enables the whole-house cooling system to be more effective while reducing strain on the equipment.
The exchange of indoor and outdoor air prevents stagnant hot air from remaining suspended between your roof and your living space in the rooms below. This air circulation system helps your HVAC work less and deliver better results in heating and cooling the home.
If you do not have an HVAC system, attic fan installation can be even more important. The attic fan drives out the hottest air at the highest area of the house and draws in fresh air. This process is essential for maintaining an exchange of indoor and outdoor air. This air exchange helps protect the attic, roof, and ceilings from exposure to a more extreme build-up of heat and humidity.
Pushing out the extremely hot air covering the top of your rooms can help make the entire home cooler in hot weather. Plus, the attic fan helps keep attic insulation dry throughout the winter, which also helps reduce the strain on the HVAC, saving it from continuously overworking during the summer.
Exhaust Fan Installation
You can start with this general process for determining fan size based just on the number of cubic feet the fan must accommodate:
- Multiply your bathroom’s length x width to calculate the square footage of the space.
- Multiply the room’s ceiling height x the square footage total from your equation above to calculate the total cubic square feet of your room.
- Multiply the total cubic square feet by 1.1 (which is 110%) to calculate the total amount of cubic feet per minute (CFM) of ventilation you need in the space.
Exhaust fan units that feature heating units are not designed for installation and use over a shower or bathtub.
Read your product specifications and installation and usage information for details on safe locations for installation.
If there is no reference to use with such a speed control in the owner’s manual for the fan, contact the manufacturer’s customer service department for guidance.
- The mounting screws that hold the motor in place may be loose. Turn off the electricity to the fan unit at the switch and the breaker box. Remove the fan grill and check all the screws to ensure they are well tightened around the entire motor.
- Another possible cause of a loud fan is the fan blade scraping against its housing. Turn off the power to the fan unit at the switch and the breaker box. Remove the fan grill and inspect to ensure that the fan blade is securely installed on the fan shaft.
