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 Shirley, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“Two-prong outlets all through a 1920s house. They grounded what could be grounded and GFCI-protected the rest, then labelled everything.”
“Garage had one outlet and a light on the house circuit. Now it has a sub-panel and I can actually use my tools.”
“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.
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 Shirley home.
We do, using damp or wet-rated fans on GFCI-protected exterior circuits.
