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 Jamaica Plain, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“Whole-house LED retrofit across our warehouse. Our lighting bill dropped and you can finally read labels on the top rack.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
