Signs You Need to Upgrade Your Ceiling Fan
If this isn’t your first time having a ceiling fan installed in your house and you’re still sort of on the fence about upgrading it, we get it – it can be easy to just put up with weak airflow or funny noises if you’re short on cash and have other things that take priority.
That said, you really don’t want to be in a position this summer where you’ve not got a reliable way of cooling yourself down, and while we do offer reliable AC installation services, too, a ceiling fan can be a lot more affordable:
Noise and Wobbling: This sort of thing is annoying at best but it can even be a sign that your ceiling fan is malfunctioning and could possibly cause some damage if you leave it for much longer.
This is generally the result of the parts being worn-out, but if you’ve decided to install it yourself, then there’s a chance you did it incorrectly which is exactly why we advise leaving it to us (you’re not only having to deal with the noise but you’re also damaging an otherwise perfectly fine fan).
Poor Performance: To follow on from that previous point, sometimes there’s not even an issue with the installation and the fan’s just started to run its course – whatever the reason, past this point, it’s not going to circulate air half as effectively as it once was, so we’d recommend our installation services to utilize a more modern fan that not only works more efficiently but comes with multiple speeds.
Outdated Design: It might not even be a technical issue, either; if you’ve moved into a home that already had a ceiling fan but you decided to refurbish the room it’s in and change some of the aesthetics around, an old-fashioned fan might simply just look out of place. So, pick a new model that actually has a design you like and we’ll be ready to install it for you quickly.
Energy Efficiency: Again, these older fans are also a lot less energy-efficient than some of the new models out there, so not only can they look ugly in the room it’s in but it’s also costing you way more than it should be on your electricity bill.
How Long Does It Take for Switch, Outlet & Ceiling Fan Installations?
Generally speaking, the exact time it’ll take to install a new ceiling fan or switches within your home is always going to vary depending on the condition of your current wiring – that said, we usually have the job done within 1-2 hours, with another hour or so if you need to add new switches or outlets.
Benefits of Installing a New Ceiling Fan
Improved Air Circulation: Compared to your old one, which is likely to be functioning improperly if you’ve sought out our services, the new ceiling fans we’ll install will significantly improve the air movement in your room – whether you need it to be cooler in the summer or need warm air in the winter.
Energy Savings: You’ll find that the more modern your ceiling fan is, the more energy-efficient it performs, so this can be very helpful for reducing your electricity bills throughout the summer.
Increased Home Value: Like most electrical fixtures, upgrading your ceiling fans is generally going to add more value to your home since it’s a much more modern amenity.
