Ceiling Fan Installation in Henderson, NV
Ceiling fans help Henderson homeowners stay comfortable while keeping AC thermostats a little higher in summer, and they are among the most common electrical upgrades. Installing a fan in place of a light fixture requires a fan-rated box, and adding one where no fixture exists means running new wire through the attic, which is hot work in summer and best scheduled for cooler morning hours.
