Vaulted Ceiling Fan Replacement in Highland Lakes, Alabama

This ceiling fan installation job took place in Highland Lakes, AL. The homeowner had purchased a new ceiling fan and two down rods for a tall ceiling, and called Superior Service Electric to complete the installation. From the start this was a straightforward project with a few unexpected details we needed to handle on site.

When we arrived we confirmed the down rods the customer bought would not connect as-is to give the total drop she needed. She had not realized a connector was required to join the rods for the full length. We helped her find the correct connector and got it ordered so the fan could hang at the intended height.

Access was a challenge. The space above the room is tight, and we needed a 20 foot A-frame ladder to reach the ceiling safely. Getting that ladder into a very small area required careful positioning and planning. Our crew set the ladder up with attention to clearance and stability so we could work at height without risk to the homeowner or the equipment.

Once we were up at the ceiling we discovered the electrical box in the ceiling was broken. That was not something the homeowner had noticed before. We took care of the broken box so the new fan could be installed properly. With that issue addressed we proceeded to install the fan and the joined down rods using the connector we had arranged for.

After installation we tested the fan to confirm it ran correctly. We verified the unit was operating as expected and that the installation felt secure. The customer was able to see the fan at the desired drop and the fixture performed when switched on.

Throughout the job Superior Service Electric worked with the homeowner to solve the items that came up, from locating the proper down rod connector to safely setting up the 20 foot ladder in a small space and addressing the broken ceiling box. The project required a bit more coordination than a standard ceiling fan swap, but the steps were clear and completed on site.

If you have a tall ceiling in Highland Lakes, AL and are planning a fan installation, it helps to check whether extra connectors or special access equipment will be needed. For this project Superior Service Electric handled those details so the homeowner did not have to worry about fit, access, or the condition of the ceiling box before the fan was turned on.
