Do you install ceiling fans?
Yes, we have an electrician that does nothing but ceiling fans. We install ceiling fans in pre-wired locations and also in locations where no wiring or ceiling fan support is already installed. (Attic required)
Can you provide wall switches for ceiling fans?
Sometimes it’s more cost effective to purchase a fan with a remote that can be mounted on the wall or placed bedside or on a table. Remotes also give you a wider range of control from fan speeds to dimming of lights.
What kind of ceiling fan should I buy?
This is a personal choice depending on the look you are trying to achieve however the size of your ceiling fan can be determined by your room size. See our ceiling fan page for more information on sizing the fan to your room size. A good middle of the road ceiling fan is the Hampton Bay Huntington series available at your local Home Depot.
How far above the floor should my ceiling fans be?
Your ceiling fan installation should be between 8 feet to 10 feet above the floor, that’s what most manufactures recommend. Higher ceilings or ceilings with a slant will require a down rod. Flat ceilings at 8 feet will need to be “huggers”.
Do you balance the fan as part of the installation?
Meade Electrical Services strives for absolute perfection in every job we do. We not only balance the ceiling fan but clean off any fingerprints or other marks made during the installation. Our electricians also do a complete cleanup after the installation.
Do you charge extra for ceiling fans with light kits?
Only when we are installing wall switches, this requires additional wiring, switches and labor. Fans with remotes are always a more cost effective solution and there is no additional charge for these light kits.
Do I need outdoor rated fans for under my patio cover?
Yes, these ceiling fans come with stainless steel screws, water tight seals and blades made for the elements. Normal indoor ceiling fans will work but your blades will soon begin to droop and the fan will quickly become unbalanced.
Which way should my ceiling fans spin?
In the winter time it is recommended that your fans push the air down or spin counter clockwise. Because warmer air rises you will want to push that air into the living area. The opposite would apply in the summertime with your ceiling fans spinning clockwise pulling the lower and cooler air upwards.
Does Meade Electrical Services install ceiling fans on very high ceilings?
Our electricians work on ceilings up to 12 feet.

When do I need a dedicated circuit?
This need usually arises when a new appliance is added or a new piece of equipment is installed. Example: you added a new microwave which draws 1500 watts. Your current circuit is 15 amps which gives you 1800 watts max (120 volts x 15 amps = 1800 watts) the problem is that the same circuit is being shared with you toaster and coffee machine putting your load at well over 1800 watts. Your electrician will do this calculation for you.
How much do dedicated circuits cost?
Each situation is different and depends on the location of your main electrical panel and the place you require the additional power. Give us a call and we will be happy to give you a free estimate.
Why else might I need a dedicated circuit?
Many of our customers have families and go “all out” with holiday decorations and lighting. Adding a dedicated power outlet at the main panel separates this circuit from all other power circuits giving you the ability to be as festive as you like without disrupting your indoor power usage. Other reasons are additional refrigerators or freezers in the garage. Having a dedicated circuit can be the difference between a healthy supply of fresh food or a fridge full of spoiled and rotten food because the garage outlets are usually governed by a GFCI outlet in your bathroom or kitchen. Adding a dishwasher is yet another reason you may require additional power.
What about my computers, do I need an additional circuit for this?
In most cases no, however if you have numerous computers in your home it is possible due to the additional power load. In older home it’s more advisable especially if your circuit has no grounding wire. Always use a surge suppressor with computers or any other sensitive electronic equipment.
How can I determine the correct amount of additional power I need?
Check your new appliance or equipment for the wattage used. Take that wattage and divide by the voltage which gives you the amperage required. Example: a space heater that draws 2160 watts at 120 volts requires a 20 amp circuit. (2160 watts divided by 120 volts = 18 amps)
At what times are electrical services available?
Our electricians provide electrical service daily from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM; we are on call 24/7 for emergency electrical service calls.
