Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on ceiling height and whether a new fan-rated box is needed. Jacob regularly serves Olney. He gives you a straight assessment of what the job requires without adding work that is not necessary. Jacob gives you a clear quote before starting.
No. Standard light fixture boxes are not rated for fan movement and weight. Ceiling fans require a fan-rated box. Jacob checks and replaces it if needed.
Most ceiling fan installations take one to two hours. Vaulted ceiling installations may take longer depending on access.
Jacob can, but it requires running new wiring. He will assess the work involved and give you a clear quote before anything starts.
Yes. Standard light fixture boxes are not rated for the movement and weight of a ceiling fan. Jacob replaces non-rated boxes with a fan-rated brace box. This is part of a correct installation, not an add-on.
If the fan worked before and stopped responding to the remote or wall switch, the receiver or switch is the issue, not the fan motor. If the fan runs but the light does not, or vice versa, it is a wiring or receiver problem. If the motor hums but the blades do not spin, the motor has failed. Jacob diagnoses the actual cause before recommending replacement.
Yes. Jacob uses a sloped ceiling mounting kit and an appropriate downrod to hang the fan perpendicular to the floor. The fan needs to clear the ceiling surface at the blade tips, which he checks for your specific ceiling pitch and fan diameter before starting.
Yes, if there are two conductors running to the switch box. Jacob checks the existing wiring first. If the wiring supports separate switches, he installs them. If not, he can wire for a remote receiver so the fan and light are controlled independently without running new wire.
Call first if you want guidance. Jacob can tell you what blade span works for the room size, whether a flush mount or standard mount fits your ceiling height, and whether you need a specific downrod length for vaulted ceilings. Then you purchase and he installs.
