Ceiling fans play a big role in keeping your air cool and healthy and safer to breathe. Air circulation is a big part of keeping your home safe and healthy, so it makes sense to have your fans repaired quickly when necessary. If the fan is installed directly into the wiring of your home, then you will need to find a contractor who is licensed to work with electric wiring in your state. Not all states have the same licensing requirements so you'll have to find out what types of licenses are required ahead of time. You should also be sure that the contractor is insured and bonded, especially if the fan is on a higher-than-normal ceiling. A simple trip can not only hurt the contractor but also rip the fan out of the ceiling. Even a competent contractor can make a mistake while repairing, so it's important to be sure that you're covered for any eventuality. Depending on your local rules and regulations, contractors may be required to carry specific types of insurance by law. To learn more about your local restrictions, you should contact your local zoning board. They will be able to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed choice.
