Why fans matter more in South Florida
A ceiling fan set to spin counterclockwise in summer makes a room feel several degrees cooler, so you can raise the thermostat and still be comfortable. In a place where the AC runs most of the year, that adds up on the FPL bill.
Covered patios and lanais need damp-rated fans at minimum, and wet-rated fans anywhere rain can reach. Indoor fans used outside rust, warp and fail within a season or two in the humidity and salt air.
Fan jobs we handle
Swap a light for a fan
Most light boxes can't hold a fan. A fan-rated box or brace is installed so it stays put.
Lanai and patio fans
Damp and wet-rated fans for covered patios, sealed against Florida humidity and salt air.
High and sloped ceilings
Downrods and angled mounts for vaulted ceilings, with the right ladder for the height.
Wobbly or noisy fans
Blades balanced, loose mounts tightened and worn parts replaced when the fan is worth keeping.
Remotes and smart controls
Wall controls, remotes and smart switches set up so the fan works from your phone.
Lanai and patio fans, rated for the weather
Covered lanais get a damp-rated fan at minimum, and anything rain can reach gets a wet-rated fan with sealed hardware. That is the difference between a fan that lasts for years and one that rusts through its first rainy season.

Ceiling fans questions
How long does a fan install take?
A straight swap usually takes one to two hours. Adding a brace or a new switch adds time, and it's included in the quote.
Can you install a fan where there's only a light?
Usually, yes. Send a photo of the ceiling and the existing fixture and you'll get a price that covers the fan-rated box.
What size fan fits my room?
Text the room size before you buy. You'll get a blade size and downrod length that fit.
Do you install several fans in one visit?
Yes. Multi-fan jobs are priced per fan, with a better rate after the first.
