Questions

FAQs

Can a fan hang from my existing light box?

Only if it is fan-rated. A standard fixture box is not built for the dynamic load of a spinning fan and will eventually loosen. We install a fan-rated box and brace as part of every install.

Can the fan and the light be on separate switches?

Yes. If there is only one switch leg we either pull an extra conductor or fit a compatible remote or smart control that separates the two.

How long does ceiling fan installation take in California?

A replacement onto an existing fan-rated box is under an hour. A new fan where no fixture exists takes longer because of the box, bracing and switch wiring.

Which fans work outdoors?

Damp-rated for covered patios, wet-rated for exposed areas. An indoor fan on a patio will corrode and become a hazard.
