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 West Newton, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“The dispatcher actually understood what I was describing on the phone and told me which breaker to shut off before they arrived.”
“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.”
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
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.

GFCI, USB, dedicated circuits
