"The office of a non-profit organization for which I provide volunteer IT services had outgrown it's current location and needed to move. They found ample space in the education building of a local Charlotte church. The three rooms contained a total of 7 electrical outlets on an unknown number of electrical circuits - not enough for 10 or more desktop computers, 3 laser printers and various and sundry other items. Additionally, we needed to run Ethernet lines from a central switch to 13 locations in these three rooms. And finally, we had to provide AT&T a route to get their fiber inside the building and to the middle room of the three where the gigabit switch was located. I received a quote from an established, well-respected electrical contractor for $4250 for the electrical work, and another quote from a custom cable installer for $4450 to run the Ethernet lines. When I requested a quote from the electrician to run for both the electrical work AND running the Ethernet lines, I didn't get any response. Rather than asking for more quotes from big, established contractors, I searched Angies List for firms which might not be quite as busy. Viva Electric seemed to be a new company with only a few reviews, all of which were positive. So I called and asked for a quote for both the electrical work and running the Ethernet lines. Jimmy Giler arrived exactly on time to survey the area. His quote arrived before it was promised. He quoted $5500 for the electrical and Ethernet work (thousands less than the combined quotes from the more established companies). Later, when AT&T was unable to provide Internet and telephone services because they couldn't get their fiber inside the building, Jimmy provided that access for them and ran another Ethernet line from the fiber location to the switch box location for another $300. He estimated that the work would take 5 days for two men. He himself showed up (along with his father, Wilson) to do the work - once again, exactly on time. We went over a detailed plan of where we wanted to outlets placed and where we wanted the Ethernet lines run. He positioned everything EXACTLY where we wanted it. Because of the construction of the building, he was able to run wires in the attic, but he was not able to run the wires behind the walls (due to the presence of purlins) so he ran the wires on the surface of the wall covered by a raceway. This was done very neatly and the brackets were screwed into the drywall using drywall anchors. At the end of the job, he used touch-up paint to cover any little nicks or imperfections. All the Ethernet connections were tested and labeled. All the electrical outlets were tested, and the dedicated laser printer outlets (single receptacle per circuit) were labeled. This job took two men five days to complete, and I know that the days were longer than eight hours! In my opinion, Jimmy Giler did an exceptional job. He is absolutely my electrician of choice from now on!"

Adding a fan to a pergola, gazebo, or other outdoor living space costs between $250 and $3,000. If you need wiring, expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more for the circuit, switch, and electrical boxes. You'll also need to make sure you purchase one that's outdoor-specific with weather-resistant construction.
You need an electrician to install a ceiling fan if new wiring or circuit modifications are required. Installing a ceiling fan involves electrical and mechanical expertise, and working with electricity can be dangerous without proper experience. If replacing an existing fan or light fixture where wiring is already in place, a handyperson can perform the installation. However, for new installations, complex setups, or any situation involving electrical work, it's essential to hire a local licensed electrician to ensure the job is done safely and complies with local codes.
You should get a ceiling fan that matches the decor of your home. Out-of-place styles stick out and may detract from the home's resale value later. If you're unsure which design to go with, talk to an interior designer.
Interior decorators cost around $2,000 to $12,000, but they create a plan for your entire home. You can choose from every possible style, from traditional carved oak to slick stainless steel to fans resembling old airplane propellers.
The size of your room will dictate the appropriate fan size. For exceptionally large rooms, consider installing more than one ceiling fan. Use the following guidelines to determine the fan size you should purchase based on your room's size:
For rooms up to 75 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 29–36 inches.
For rooms 80–175 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 42–48 inches.
For rooms 180–350 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 52–56 inches.
For rooms larger than 350 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 60 inches or larger.
A fan costs around $44 to $88 annually if you run it nonstop. That's assuming it costs about $0.05 to $0.09 to run a fan every hour based on a range of 50 to 80 kilowatts per hour and an average national rate of $0.11 per kilowatt hour for electricity.
Installing a ceiling fan involves several steps:
Turn off the power at the breaker box.
Remove the old fixture and disconnect wiring.
Install support braces if needed.
Attach the new fan housing to the existing box.
Connect the wiring according to code and manufacturer instructions.
Assemble the fan components.
Restore power and test the fan.
Working with electricity can be dangerous. If you're not experienced with electrical work, it's wise to hire a professional to ensure a safe and proper installation.
