Ceiling Fan Installation for Portage homes and businesses
Portage is in Kalamazoo County in Southwest Michigan, a region of older city neighborhoods, lake cottages, orchards and farms. Lake-effect snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer both test electrical systems here. When we handle ceiling fan installation in Portage, we look at the age of the wiring first, because it varies enormously from one street to the next.
Replacing a light with a ceiling fan
The most common request we get in Portage is to put a fan where a light fixture hangs now. The wiring is usually already there, but the box almost never is rated for a fan. We replace it with a braced, fan-rated box, often without any drywall repair, then hang the fan. If you want the light and fan on separate switches, we can add the extra conductor or install a control that does it over the existing wires.
