In Colorado, the new housing market and home updates are still rising. Ceiling fans are a fantastic addition to any house. Ceiling fans are a great way to provide energy-efficient cooling to any room you desire. On the other hand, installing a ceiling fan can be pretty tricky for many reasons. Acquiring the skills or knowledge of electrical work is a must. Thus leading us to five reasons why hiring a professional electrician for ceiling fan installations is essential.

1. Electrical Safety

Safety is the number one rule here at Piper Electric. Without a doubt hiring an electrician will ensure the safety of your ceiling fan installation. A professional electrician knows how to properly install and wire all ceiling fans, avoiding any potential electric shock or fire risk. As ceiling fans require an electrical connection to your home, there is much room for error, which is extremely dangerous. Save yourself the stress of Google searches and YouTube videos on “how to install a ceiling fan?” and hire an electrician. A piece of mind knowing your electrical work is safe is worth it.

2. Electrical Code Compliance

The second important reason to hire a licensed electrician is to ensure all the work is done under the correct building codes and remains in compliance with regulations. Codes and regulations are designed to protect people and their homes by ensuring electrical installations are done safely, preventing disaster. Failure to comply with regulations and codes will result in hefty fines. Electricians will know the local codes and regulations, making your ceiling fan installation up to code.

3. Knowledge

Another reason to hire an electrician is they are experts at their jobs; they can help with ceiling fan repair services or new installation. They know how to troubleshoot issues that may occur during the installation process. Electricians also know how to:

  • Investigate what needs repairing
  • Install and mount ceiling fan brackets
  • Ceiling fan assembly
  • Correctly wire the connection to your home electrical system

4. Save Time and Money

Though you may be inclined to install the ceiling fan on your own, thinking it could save money and time, it can ultimately cost you more. Mistakes during the installation can result in fan damage, damage to the home electrical system, or injuring yourself, causing potential medical bills. Often the manufacturers require a licensed electrician to install if you want damages covered under warranty. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it may not be covered. In the long run, save time and money by hiring a Piper Electric professional electrician to install your ceiling fan or repair your old one.

Overall, there are important reasons to have a professional electrician install your ceiling fan. While it may seem simple, ensuring the work is done correctly, complies with codes and regulations, and, most importantly, safely is critical.
