Ceiling fans are a great and affordable way to add some extra comfort and bring the breeze into your home, especially during those sweltering summer months. Their blades circulate air and create a cooling effect without the need to run your air conditioning unit all day long. More than just cooling, fans also provide a decorative touch to your home.
What’s even better? You get to cut down on your energy bills in the long run, which means more money in your pocket.

Prepping the Space and Turning Off Power to The Outlet
Before installing a hanging fan unit, you need to first pick out the perfect match for your space – is it outdoors or indoors? Damp or wet ceiling fans? What exactly suits the need?
There are a huge selection of styles, colors and blade designs to choose from, so you can be sure that you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Flush mount (low profile ceiling fans), semi-flush mount, and full-mount ceiling fans are some of the most popular options. The first two are great for rooms with lower ceilings because they’re less intrusive than full-mounts. If you have a larger living area with high ceiling, then the more traditional full-mount (with downrod) fan or dual motor ceiling fans are the way to go.
You also want to consider the blade pitch: whether they’re angled or straight blades. Angled or curved blades push air downward more effectively than straight blades, so if you want a fan that’s best for both industrial and residential application, backward curved blades are the best bet!
Are you more about the aesthetics and still want to have more control over the climate of your space? Then go for smart ceiling fans. If you are not sure what works, our ceiling fan specialists can help you make a decision.
Our installation process begins with finding the right position for your fan, prepping the space, bringing in the right tools – ladder, screwdrivers, electrical tape, wire cutters/strippers/crimpers, pliers – and shutting down power to the outlet in the room.
Removing The Existing Light Fixture
Want to put a ceiling fan where you had a light fixture? No problem!
We will start by unscrewing the light fixture and its box. Then replace the box with a fan rated model. For customers with older homes requiring some sort of modification to fit in a fan box, you’ve got nothing to worry about. We will neatly cut through the plaster or dry wall ceiling , put in an expandable thread support or a fixed type, and fit it in tightly enough so that nothing moves around once everything else has been installed properly later on down below. Next, the fan-rated box will be screwed to the support.
Removing The Existing Light Fixture
A fan installation is never complete without a proper fitting on the bracket and junction box. An improperly affixed fan box could mean only one thing – your cooling unit will come crashing down on you soon enough.
Before mounting the junction box, be it for a new installation or a replacement, we will disconnect all wires safely and carefully remove everything around your ceiling that could get in the way. Our Zippy Ceiling Fan experts will put up a fixed-style brace box or adjustable fan-rated support, depending on whether or not there’s attic access. Next, we’ll mount the box and the fan bracket, tighten the screws, and pull out the wires through the holes of the box and bracket.
As a safety measure, we’ll use good quality and sturdy brace boxes and brackets that can hold the weight of the fan and anything else hanging from it – a lighting kit or some decorative items.
Mounting the Junction Box and Bracket
Before choosing a downrod, it is essential to consider the height of the room (ceiling to the floor). You don’t want to hang your fan too low and have it look dangerous and out of place. Also, you don’t want it to be so high that it looks like an alien spaceship is descending in your room. The wrong downrod length can result in wobbling motion and reduce the airflow efficiency from the fan’s blades, causing the cooling unit to work harder and consume a lot of energy.
Once the ideal mounting height is achieved – usually 7 to 9 feet from the floor and 18 inches from the walls of your room) – our experts will attach the fan motor to the bracket and complete the wiring of the fan unit. If your home or office has lower ceilings, a flush mount or hugger fan will do just fine without the need for a downrod installation. Also, a ceiling fan beam mount is an option for mounting directly to your roofing beam.
Setting the Downrod and Wiring the New Ceiling Fan
So, the junction box, bracket, downrod or flush mount, and ceiling wiring are already in place! What next? Time to attach the most important part – the blades and lighting bulbs.
First, our San Antonio electricians will attach the blade arms to the motor housing with screws to hold them in place. The actual blades come next – they are attached to the blade bracket appropriately and screwed in for a proper fitting. Finally, our electricians will attach the lighting bulb into a socket mounted onto the ceiling fan’s motor housing. The socket is then secured using a screw or set of screws inserted through holes on either side of it.
Voila! Like that, you’re well on your way to having an indoor or outdoor fan installation that looks great and works even better. Just turn it on and enjoy!
