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 Malden, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“Breaker had been tripping for months and two other companies just replaced parts. OSB traced it to a backstabbed outlet behind a bookcase in twenty minutes.”
