Ceiling Fans for Valley Summers

100°FSummer afternoons when a ceiling fan is one of the cheapest comfort upgrades in the house.

When summer afternoons pass 100°F, a ceiling fan is one of the cheapest comfort upgrades in a house. Moving air makes a room feel cooler, which can let you set the thermostat a little higher without feeling it. Most fans also reverse in winter to push warm air down from the ceiling.

The key is the mounting. A fan weighs more than a light fixture and moves constantly, so it has to hang from a fan-rated box. Many older homes have standard light boxes in the ceiling that aren't rated for a fan. We check every box and replace it with a fan-rated brace when needed. That's the difference between a fan that runs quietly for years and one that wobbles loose.

Signs a Fixture or Outlet Needs Replacing

  • A ceiling fan that wobbles, clicks or hums
  • Outlets that are loose, cracked or won't hold a plug
  • Switches that feel warm, spark or work only sometimes
  • No GFCI outlets near sinks, in the garage or outside
  • Lights that flicker in one fixture only

Safety: an outlet or switch that's hot to the touch, smells like burning or sparks should be shut off at the breaker and checked by an electrician right away.

What We Do and Don't Do

We install and replace fixtures, outlets and switches on existing wiring. We don't run new circuits, upgrade panels, rewire rooms or troubleshoot wiring faults. That's specialty electrical work for a licensed C-10 electrician. If your job needs it, we'll tell you up front instead of taking it on.

Under California law, a licensed contractor is required for any job of $1,000 or more in labor and materials, or any job that needs a permit. DHS is a licensed and bonded contractor (CSLB #1065708). Fixture work is usually done as part of a larger repair list or remodel.

What Affects the Cost

Ceiling Fan & Lighting FAQ

Can you install a ceiling fan where I have a light now?

Usually, yes. If the existing box isn't fan-rated, we install a fan-rated brace and box first.

Can you add a new outlet or circuit?

No. New circuits and new outlet locations need a licensed electrician. We replace and upgrade on existing wiring.

Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?

Moisture, a worn-out GFCI, or a faulty appliance plugged into it. We can replace a worn GFCI. If a new one keeps tripping, that points to a wiring problem for an electrician.

Can you install fans in rooms with vaulted ceilings?

Yes. We use the right downrod length and an angled-ceiling mount when needed.
