DIY vs. Professional Fan Installation 

There are countless DIY tutorials on YouTube and TV, so many homeowners tackle home improvement tasks. However, professionals should always handle jobs involving electricity, such as installing ceiling fans.

We have years of experience with Ceiling Fan Installation in Cornelia, GA. Although adding a fan may seem simple, there are details that homeowners may not be aware of. Fans are often much heavier than expected, and it can be challenging to ensure they are installed at the correct height. Projects can take much more time and effort than expected. 

Leave the job to us and we will have your fans correctly installed in no time. You can depend on us for reliable, efficient service designed to minimize inconvenience to you. 

Safe Wiring Is Vital 

While there is a risk when homeowners work with electricity, our Electricians in Cornelia, GA use industry-approved safety measures. During training, electricians spend a lot of time learning how to complete tasks correctly while keeping themselves and their properties safe. They also ensure that the wiring is safe and will not cause problems in the future.  

Improper wiring can damage a fan, start a fire, or cause shocks. When we install your fans, you can be sure they are correctly wired. 

Installation in Older Homes is Challenging 

If you have an older home, electrical installations can be especially tricky. The wiring may be outdated, and may not be compatible with newer devices. Generally, any project requiring electrical wiring is more complex in an older home.

Per Architecture Lab, homeowners often add a ceiling fan as both a source of ambient light and a cooling device. But, it’s easy for the owners of older homes to run into trouble installing fans, especially if they include lighting fixtures. Professionals can resolve the following common issues.  

  • Overhead lighting and wiring are not always present in older homes, but an experienced lighting electrician in Cornelia, GA, can run new wiring. According to Houzz, working with a local, licensed electrician with experience installing ceiling fans is always a good idea, particularly when rewiring is necessary.  
  • If your older Georgia home has knob-and-tube wiring, it will need to be updated before you can install a ceiling fan. We can add a circuit box and new wiring. 
  • In some cases, an old plaster ceiling won’t support a fan, but we can find a solution.

Fans Must Be Correctly Mounted

A ceiling fan must be mounted properly to prevent it from falling and injuring someone. An incorrectly mounted fan can also become unbalanced. It takes skill to mount fans, and the process can be complicated when homeowners choose hefty models.

We ensure your ceiling can support fans of any size. We will add support to accommodate the fan when weight is an issue. We also use the correct type of fan-rated box. A properly mounted box can handle the motor’s constant vibration. We guarantee that your fan will be correctly mounted and secure. 

Ensuring Your Fans Are Balanced

A wobbly ceiling fan can be dangerous since its mount is probably loose and there is a danger the fan will fall. Fans that wobble are inefficient, unable to cool the way they are meant to and will consume more energy than necessary. We ensure that newly installed fans do not wobble.

We can also inspect unbalanced, wobbling fans and make sure blades are securely attached to the housing. During an inspection, we ensure that blades are properly aligned. A skilled electrician can measure and balance fan blades and re-balance fans by securely connecting mounting brackets and screws. We ensure your fans are balanced, working efficiently, and secure.  

Adding Fan Accessories

Mountain NRG can install ceiling fan accessories that enhance appearance and functionality. For instance, we will install units that control fan speed, lighting on/off options, and angled mounts for sloped ceilings. You can add decorative shades and down-rods that ensure fans are the correct height for rooms with vaulted ceilings.
