Ceiling Fan Myths:

• You could do it yourself  - wrong. Fans can wobble loose from some ceiling boxes, and require experience to assemble safely and attach correctly.
• Any electrician can do this - Well, they may be able to do the job, but many won’t stand behind their work, or will blame wobbles caused by inexperienced assembly on your fan or your ceiling.
• They’re too expensive - Not at all! We install many fans which were purchased on sale from Lowes or Home Depot for under $100 which function beautifully!

Attic exhaust fans:

Most homes benefit significantly from attic fan installation. These small, powerful fans draw in fresh air and expel out hot humid air which robs your house of AC and warps roof sheathing. Some Washington DC area attics reach temps of 160 deg.F or even more without an exhaust fan. If your upstairs bedrooms are hot in summer, and you have already have adequate insulation, you need an attic fan to reduce your attic temperatures. Your AC system will also run less and this saves you money! The built in thermostatic control lets you relax and do nothing while your new attic exhaust fan takes care of the heat! If you already have an attic fan, or you are thinking about installing a do-it-yourself fan… have us come out for a free check-up… don’t let this happen to you: http://www.gazette.net/stories/09022009/burtnew213302_32529.shtml

Whole House Fan:

installs quickly in most attics

These powerful fans were common in farm houses and ranch houses in the mid 1900’s and are making a comeback thanks to big savings on cooling costs. The fan is turned on manually in the evening and with windows on the lower floor opened a few inches, creating strong cooling drafts while hotter air at the top floor of the house is sent out through the attic. Fan installations with modern, high efficiency motors use about as much electricity as 10  light bulbs, but you only need to run it for about 30 minutes when you get home in the evening! You can see how this could result in big savings in spring and fall if you leave the AC off, or at a very reduced setting during the day, and then just flip the switch to bring in cool evening air instantly when you get home! Your new whole house fan including installation may cost as little as $999, with larger homes being slightly higher. Call Solutions Electric at 301-879-8788 for a free estimate today!

Bath Exhaust Fans:

  Bathrooms without fans trap moisture and encourage unhealthy molds on surfaces. We can install a bath fan (or replace your old one with a quiet reliable new one) which will take away water vapor and odors, and will meet the highest requirements for electrical efficiency. Don’t let just anyone install your bath fan, there is a big difference in cost over the life of your fan between a cheap fan and a high-efficiency fan.  Let Solutions Electric install a state-of-the-art Nutone Brand bath fan and duct-work to make your bath more comfortable and healthy!
