A ceiling fan needs a fan-rated box, not a light box — that's the part most people find out the hard way. OSB installs and replaces fans throughout Hingham, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
“Our panel was original to the house and completely full. OSB upgraded us to 200 amp, pulled the permit, met the inspector, and left the basement cleaner than they found it.”
“Sold our house and the buyer's inspector flagged eight electrical items. OSB fixed all of them in one visit and wrote it up so we could close on time.”
Replacing a fan where a fan-rated box already exists is a quick flat-rate job. Adding a fan to a room with no fixture costs more because it needs a box, a switch leg and a cable run.
Yes. Sloped-ceiling adapters and the right downrod length keep the blades level and clear.
You do — a fan-rated box that carries the moving weight. A standard light box isn't built for it and is the most common thing we replace.
Yes, with a three-wire run or a remote/smart control if fishing a new cable isn't practical in your Hingham home.
We do, using damp or wet-rated fans on GFCI-protected exterior circuits.
