A ceiling fan moves air so your HVAC system works less, and in a Georgia summer that matters. Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. installs and replaces ceiling fans for Sharpsburg homeowners, working from our Newnan office at 1002 Highway 16 W, Suite A. Call (678) 552-9399, text (470) 516-7261, or book online.
Fan Installation Done Right
The most common problem we find with DIY fans is the box. A ceiling fan is heavy and creates vibration, so it must hang from a box listed for fan support, anchored to framing or a proper brace. A standard light-fixture box is not rated for that load. Every fan we install goes on a fan-rated box, and we check the existing one before reusing it.
- Replacing a light fixture with a fan, or swapping an old fan for a new one
- New fan locations where no wiring exists yet
- Separate wall controls for fan speed and light
- Remote and smart fan controls
- Outdoor-rated fans for covered porches and patios
- Balancing and troubleshooting wobbly or noisy fans
High Ceilings, Porches and Bonus Rooms
Vaulted ceilings need the correct downrod length so the blades sit at a useful height, and sloped ceilings need a mount made for the angle. Covered porches need a fan rated for damp or wet locations, depending on exposure. Bonus rooms over garages often have no switch leg at all, so we run new wiring from an existing circuit if it has capacity, or add a circuit if it does not.
Permits in Sharpsburg
A straight fan-for-fixture swap usually needs no permit. Running new circuits can require one. Inside town limits that goes through the Town of Sharpsburg. Many Sharpsburg mailing addresses are in unincorporated Coweta County, where the county issues permits. We check which applies before starting.
Choosing the Right Fan
Fan size should match the room. Larger rooms need a wider blade span to move enough air, and small rooms do better with a compact fan. Blades should usually sit about seven to nine feet above the floor. Fans with DC motors are typically quieter and use less power than older AC-motor fans. If you plan to use the fan in winter, pick one with a reverse function so it can push warm air down from the ceiling. We are happy to talk through options before you buy.
Ceiling Fan FAQ
Can you put a fan where my light fixture is?
Usually, yes. We confirm the box is fan-rated, or replace it with one that is, and then mount and wire the fan.
Can I control the fan and light separately?
Yes. If there is only one switch, we can add a wall control or remote so the fan and light work independently.
What causes a ceiling fan to wobble?
Usually unbalanced blades, loose blade screws, or a mount that is not secure. We tighten and balance the fan, and replace the box or brace if the mount is the problem.
