Professional Fan Installation in Pontotoc, Mississippi

Ceiling fans reduce cooling costs, improve air circulation, and add comfort to rooms throughout your home. Bathroom exhaust fans control humidity and prevent mold growth. Kitchen range hoods remove cooking odors and grease. M&T Handyman LLC provides professional fan installation throughout Pontotoc County and North Mississippi. From ceiling fans in bedrooms and living rooms to exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, we install fans correctly with attention to electrical safety and proper operation.

Fan installation involves electrical work, structural considerations, and proper assembly. Poorly installed ceiling fans wobble, make noise, and potentially fall. Improperly wired fans create fire hazards. We install fans correctly the first time—securely mounted, properly wired, balanced, and operating smoothly. Whether replacing old fans or adding new ones, we handle all aspects of fan installation professionally.

Fan Installation Services

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans improve comfort while reducing energy costs by moving air throughout rooms. We install ceiling fans in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, great rooms, and covered porches. Installation includes removing existing fixtures, installing proper electrical boxes rated for fan weight and movement, assembling fans correctly, wiring safely, mounting securely, and balancing for smooth operation. We install all ceiling fan types including standard fans, fans with lights, remote-controlled fans, and large commercial-grade fans.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installation

Bathroom exhaust fans remove humidity, preventing mold, mildew, and moisture damage. Mississippi's humidity makes bathroom ventilation critical. We install new exhaust fans in bathrooms lacking them, replace old noisy fans with quiet modern models, and install fan/light combinations providing both ventilation and lighting. Proper installation requires cutting ceiling openings, running ductwork to exterior vents, wiring fans correctly, and ensuring adequate CFM (cubic feet per minute) ratings for bathroom sizes.

Kitchen Range Hood Installation

Range hoods remove cooking smoke, steam, grease, and odors from kitchens. We install all range hood types including under-cabinet hoods, wall-mount chimneys, and island hoods. Installation includes securing to cabinets or walls, running ductwork to exterior vents (or installing recirculating filters for ductless models), electrical connections, and ensuring proper height above cooking surfaces.

Whole House Fans

Whole house fans installed in attic access areas pull cool air through homes and exhaust hot air through attic vents. These powerful fans dramatically cool homes on spring and fall evenings. We install whole house fans including cutting ceiling openings, mounting securely in attic spaces, wiring with appropriate switches, and ensuring adequate attic ventilation for fan operation.

Attic Ventilation Fans

Attic fans exhaust hot air from attic spaces, reducing cooling loads and extending roof life. We install powered attic ventilators and solar-powered attic fans, including cutting roof openings, mounting and flashing properly, and wiring powered models.

Ceiling Fan Considerations

Fan Sizing for Rooms

Ceiling fan size must match room size for effective air movement. Small rooms (up to 75 sq ft) need 29-36 inch fans. Medium rooms (76-144 sq ft) need 36-42 inch fans. Large rooms (144-225 sq ft) need 44-50 inch fans. Very large rooms (225-400 sq ft) need 50-60 inch fans or multiple fans. We help select appropriately sized fans for your spaces.

Ceiling Height Requirements

Standard ceiling fans need at least 7 feet of clearance between floor and blade bottoms. Ceilings 8-9 feet high use standard downrod mounts. Higher ceilings need longer downrods maintaining proper height. Very low ceilings require hugger-style fans mounting flush. We install fans at proper heights for safety and effectiveness.

Structural Support

Ceiling fans need proper support. Standard electrical boxes aren't rated for fan weight and movement. We install electrical boxes specifically rated for ceiling fans. When existing ceiling joists don't align with desired fan location, we install additional bracing. Proper structural support prevents fan wobble and potential falls.

Electrical Requirements

Ceiling fans require electrical connections. When replacing existing light fixtures with fans, we use existing wiring if adequate. New fan locations require running new electrical circuits. Fans with lights need wiring supporting both functions. Remote-controlled and smart fans have specific wiring requirements—we handle all electrical work correctly.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Selection

CFM Ratings

Bathroom exhaust fans are rated by CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow. Proper sizing requires 1 CFM per square foot of bathroom space (minimum 50 CFM). Master bathrooms often need 80-120 CFM or more. We help select fans with adequate capacity for bathroom sizes.

Noise Levels

Old bathroom fans are notoriously loud. Modern fans operate quietly—rated by sones (sound measurement). 1.0 sone is very quiet (like a whisper), 2.0 sones is library-quiet, 3.0-4.0 sones is moderate noise. We recommend fans under 2.0 sones for peaceful operation.

Features

Modern bathroom fans offer features like integrated lighting, heaters, humidity sensors (automatically turning on when moisture detected), motion sensors, and night lights. We install fans with any desired features.

Our Fan Installation Process

1. Assessment: We examine installation location, existing wiring, ceiling structure, and discuss your needs. We identify any challenges requiring special attention.
2. Old Fixture Removal: If replacing existing fixtures, we remove them carefully, preserving ceiling condition.
3. Structural Preparation: We install fan-rated electrical boxes, add ceiling bracing if needed, and ensure solid mounting points.
4. Electrical Work: We run new wiring if needed, make proper connections following electrical code, and install appropriate switches or controls.
5. Fan Assembly: We assemble fans correctly, following manufacturer instructions and ensuring all components are properly attached.
6. Mounting and Balancing: We mount fans securely, ensure level installation, and balance fans for smooth wobble-free operation.
7. Testing: We test all functions—fan speeds, lights, reversing switches, and remote controls—ensuring everything works correctly.
8. Cleanup: We clean up thoroughly, removing all packaging and installation debris.

Common Fan Problems We Fix

Wobbling Fans

Ceiling fan wobble results from imbalanced blades, loose screws, improper mounting, or bent blade irons. We diagnose and correct wobble issues. While some wobble is normal for large fans, excessive wobble indicates problems requiring correction.

Noisy Fans

Grinding, clicking, humming, or rattling noises indicate problems. We identify noise sources and correct them—tightening loose components, lubricating moving parts, or replacing worn components.

Non-Functional Fans

When fans won't turn on or lights don't work, electrical issues are likely. We troubleshoot wiring, replace faulty switches or pull chains, and repair electrical connections.

Outdoor Ceiling Fans

Covered porches, patios, and outdoor living spaces benefit from ceiling fans. Outdoor fans must be rated for wet or damp locations with finishes resisting weather exposure. We install outdoor-rated fans properly, ensuring electrical connections are weatherproofed and fans are positioned for effective air movement in outdoor spaces.

Smart and Remote-Controlled Fans

Modern fans offer convenient control options. Remote controls eliminate pulling chains. Smart fans integrate with home automation systems, allowing control via phone apps or voice assistants. We install and set up smart fans, ensuring proper connection to WiFi networks and compatibility with your home automation ecosystem.
