Nothing is better on those long hot summer days, than a nice cool breeze. Bring that refreshing feeling with you into your bedroom living room, or wherever you want by installing a ceiling fan. Proper installation is imperative, when installing ceiling fans, and while many of us have tried, it is not always as simple as it seems. All Ceiling fans in your home, should be installed using UL listed Ceiling Fan Rated Boxes. The extra weight, and movement that ceiling fans bring, can cause a standard ceiling box to fail, which can be dangerous to the people below. Just because there is a fan already installed, does not mean the proper box was used.

Each and every ceiling fan installation starts with removal of the existing fan or light fixture. Once the existing box is exposed our electricians check the rating of the box. If your existing boxes are not fan rated, the experts at Down Home have the solution. The old fixture box can be removed, and special fan rated boxes installed, many times with no damage to the existing finishes in your home.

The professionals at Down Home Electric can help you ensure, that nice summer breeze, is installed properly, and does not become a real HEADACHE.

Did you know, Ceiling fans are not just for those hot summer months? Most standard ceiling fans can be reversed easily during the cold winter months, keeping the cold breeze from blowing directly on you, while increasing the efficiency of heating your home. Running the fans in reverse works in the winter by pulling the cold air up and pushing the warm air down back down from the ceilings, and back down into the living space!

The electricians at Down Home Electric are panel experts. Contact us today, for a panel inspection, and let us come take a look "under the hood".

Many of the major manufactures' panels are made to last up to 50 years, with some of the major brands still sold today without many major changes. Most breakers have an expected life span of 30-40 years, with an average of around 35 years of service. In many cases your panels life can be extended several years with a full breaker replacement. A properly installed panel can provide many many years of continuous and trouble-free service.

The current Electrical code requires several of the home's circuits have new protective breakers that also provide additional protection to you your guests and your home. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters) are Designed to detect the smallest of electrical Arcs, that can cause an electrical fire. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) are designed to protect people in your home from electrical shock in and outside the home, or anywhere that electricity and water may meet. While these devices are a good deal more expensive than standard breakers, but are now required in many circumstances, to save property or even your life.

Many factors can cause this life expectancy to be diminished including moisture causing corrosion, heat damage due to improper installations, faulty materials and or workmanship. The pros at Down Home Electric can help you select whether your panel is in good working order, in need of a simple tune up, or if it is time for an upgrade or replacement.

There are cases where your breaker panel could be a major hazard to your home and your family, even if it has never given you trouble. Panels manufactured by Federal Pacific, and Zinsco should be replaced immediately. These panels have been found to pose major safety hazards, to the point where some home insurance companies may even refuse to insure your home.
