Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special junction box for a ceiling fan?

Yes. Standard light fixture boxes are not designed to support the weight and motion of a ceiling fan. We always inspect and, if necessary, replace the box with a fan-rated support to ensure safety.

Can you install fans in older homes with outdated wiring?

Absolutely. Our technicians are experienced with the diverse housing stock in Traverse City. We can assess and update wiring to meet current safety standards, ensuring your new fan operates safely.

How long does installation take?

A standard replacement typically takes one to two hours. New installations requiring wiring runs or structural support may take longer. We provide a clear timeline during the estimate phase.

Do I need to provide the fan?

You can provide your own fan, or we can help you select and source a high-quality model that fits your style and functional needs.
