Our Process
Assessment
We verify ceiling structure, junction box rating, and wiring to confirm the location can support a fan. If upgrades are needed, we identify them before starting.
Box & Bracket Upgrade
If the existing junction box is not fan-rated, we install a fan-rated brace and box to safely support the weight and vibration of a ceiling fan.
Fan Installation
We assemble the fan, mount it to the bracket, wire the motor, light kit, and remote receiver, and attach the blades per manufacturer specifications.
Testing & Balancing
We test all speeds, light functions, and remote operation. We check for wobble and balance the blades if needed, then clean up all packaging.
