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 Hyde Park, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“We had knob-and-tube in the attic and our insurer was getting nervous. They rewired in stages so we never lost power for more than a few hours at a time.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.

Yes, with a three-wire run or a remote/smart control if fishing a new cable isn't practical in your Hyde Park home.
