Ceiling Fan Installation In Havasu

[OldSchoolBoats]

My go to handyman in Havasu is booked solid, so was wondering if any full or part time residents that are handy with this kind of stuff wanted to make a couple extra bucks and install 2 ceiling fans for me at the house.

They would be replacing fans that are already in place, so should be a pretty easy job.

It is easy, should take you about an hour to hour and half

I just did two of mine and like mentioned, super easy! Im not a fan of electrical work myself but its just two wires. Make sure power is off and test before working on it.

Take down one old one to start, and Ill think you will be superised on the process

I did our 5 replacement fans in March. Busy today through Monday but able to assist next week if you don’t find anyone sooner.

Stop being a little girl and do it yourself....so easy....

One of our tests to get on the squad: wire a ceiling fan lol.

Install is one thing. Balancing is another. My living room one shakes just enough to rattle the chain. I don’t use it too much so I never dealt with it. Need to take it to a tire shop.

Fan only or light kit too?
Separate switches for fan and light?
Any remote controls?

I have done several fans, I could be your Huckleberry

Come on Joe, go grab a ladder and a phillips!

If it is existing, the hard part is already done unless Steve Gorilla glued them to the ceiling

It is pretty easy.

Buying the same setup we have now. Fans with lights/dimmer and remote control.

I would TYPICALLY do this myself, but won't have the time next trip out and I need to get it done because one fan in the back room is not working.

 

[satellitemike]

Joe I'll install if I can stay for the weekend?

I'd check your mounting screws and washers.....thats not normal. I worked for a lighting company in HS, installed hundreds of fans and have never had one not balanced from the box or damn close.

OP...they aren't hard to do unless you have some weird hardwired remote. I always recommend Randy from Havashock.

Lol, he needs an extension ladder

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

If you want, I could have my niece or wife come over to show you how it's done.

JK, I get the "time" thing. I don't even wash my wife's car anymore. Easier to have someone come every other week.

Turning the power off first? It's just 110. LOL If it's just a switch on the wall sure, but I wouldn't start flipping breakers for that.

One of my best friends growing up, his big brother was an electrician. He was up in an attic wiring up a 110V Ceiling Fan (solo) and was laying on an water pipe. Home Owners came home a few hours later and found him dead up in the attic. Most electrical deaths are caused by 110V believe it or not.

Sounds like its just wire nuts then, easy enough. Ill be home all weekend

My office fan stopped working a couple weeks ago, it was the push in wire on the back of the wall switch. My Electrican didn’t pull back on when he pushed it in so it didnt stay.

Super easy fix!

That’s sad. Probably thought easy job. Guard down. True on the 110. If you are a good ground. Muscle spasm won’t let go. High voltage blows you across the room.
Even to this day I have a mantra before using things that want to kill me, “ Where are you and what are you doing”

Try tightening the blades. I’ve had a wobble before that was just a screw that had backed out.

Or finish nailed through like the picture frames.

If your electrician is using the stab in connection on the switches and outlets you need a new electrician

 

[DLC]

I think that was a switch I had laying around the house

 

[Joe mama]

Nothing wrong with stab in’s. I’ve seen more problems with screws being wrapped.

 

[GRADS]

C'mon man! If you can't change out a ceiling fan on your own then I'm revoking your man card...and if I revoke it you're super duper gay.

One of our good friends here in RDP also lost his life in an attic with 110v. It scares me regardless.

RIP brother. Miss you more and more every year.

I thought you had to be licensed in 3 states to work in Havasu

I thought you just had to be able to spell “licensed” to work in havasu?

You should have misspelled it

 

[ultra26shadow]

Throw your purse at it. That might fix it

Anyone have advice on what fan to buy that won't melt. I need to replace three fans on my outdoor patio and I don't want the blades to look like a limp d**k.
Does anyone have any brands or advice on fan blade material that won't sag in the Havasu heat?
