Safety First
Strict National Electrical Code Compliance
A ceiling fan is a heavy, dynamic load that vibrates continuously. A DIY installation or a handyman job that cuts corners can lead to catastrophic ceiling damage or severe electrical fire hazards in your Makanda home.
The Danger of Standard Boxes
Standard plastic lighting boxes are rated for static loads (like a chandelier) up to 50 lbs. They are never approved for ceiling fans. A spinning fan generates torque that will eventually rip a standard box straight out of the drywall, destroying your ceiling and dropping a heavy motor into your living space.
Our Fan-Rated Braces
Our Makanda electricians inspect every ceiling box before mounting. If required, we install UL-listed, heavy-duty steel Saf-T-Braces that expand directly into your ceiling joists. These are rated to support dynamic fan loads up to 70 lbs, guaranteeing your fan stays securely anchored for decades.
Proper Copper Wiring
We ensure all wire nuts are secured and taped, and we only use appropriate 14/2 or 12/2 Romex copper wiring. Improperly grounded fans or overloaded circuits are a massive fire hazard. We do not take shortcuts; we pull the right wire and check your breaker panel limits.
