Fans: Installation / Maintenance

I'd like to get more air movement in my home.

Urgent Electric electricians are the professionals when it comes to ceiling fan installation.
Each year we receive hundreds of calls from homeowners in the Lower Mainland who need help installing, re-installing, tightening, wiring and re-wiring fans of all shapes, sizes, and models.
Ceiling fans help circulate air and provide cooler air flow, allowing you to raise the thermostat setting in the summer and decrease it in the winter. For the energy use of a light bulb, the ceiling fan is a very cost effective way to be comfortable and save valuable energy dollars. Urgent Electric will install your ceiling fan on you're existing pre-installed fan box, or install new wiring, switches, dimmers and a fan-rated brace box for any area of your home as required.

Decor

Ceiling fans will greatly enhance the décor of any room as there a literally hundreds of colors and designs to choose from. Ceiling fans also provide excellent lighting options as well. Simply pick out the ceiling fan that suits your personal style and décor and Urgent Electric will be more than happy to install it for you.

Where Should Ceiling Fans Be Installed

Put ceiling fans in all the rooms where your family spends a lot of time. The kitchen, the family room, the den, and the bedrooms are obvious choices. Some people have fans in all the rooms, and even on the patio and in the workshop or garage.

Winter and Summer Ceiling Fan Use Summer

In the summer, ceiling fans are very effective at lowering the apparent temperature by making use of evaporation. When you are hot, you perspire, perhaps only a small amount. This is the body's way of cooling off - Evaporation of the perspiration pulls heat away from your body. Circulation of the air rapidly increases evaporation. The more evaporation, the cooler the apparent temperature. This means the thermostat on the A/C can be set higher - saving you money. With the reverse switch set for a downward airflow, in almost all cases this is counter-clockwise (looking up); running your ceiling fan on high speed creates a turbulent column of air. This cone-shaped area of maximum airflow is relative to the area and pitch (angle) of the blades, as well as the RPM's of the motor, hence the three speeds.

Winter

Use of the ceiling fan in winter, well, seems a bit strange to some, but actually it too can save you money on you're heating bills. Heat rises. A large amount of heated air can collect in a large room with high ceilings before it can even be felt. In cold climates, where possible, heater vents are put in the floor. This is the most effective way to heat a room, because the air will rise. In a room with a 16' cathedral ceiling and the thermostat set at 68 degrees F - the uppermost 3 feet can be 90 degrees or higher before the heater shuts off. An incredible waste of energy.With the reverse switch set for an upward airflow (clockwise), running your fan on low speed will force the heat accumulated at the ceiling down along the walls where it must rise again. This mild circulation of air provides a more evenly heated room, shortening the time it takes the heater to work. (Low speed is highly recommended to avoid drafts.)
