Gelinas HVAC: Your Source for Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical Services

Ceiling fans improve year-round indoor comfort, cooling living spaces during hot summer months and pushing trapped warm air downward during winter. Gelinas HVAC Services has installed ceiling fans across Scarborough since 1994, ensuring every installation is properly wired and structurally supported. Our licensed electricians operate under Maine Electrical License #MS60022397, verifying box ratings, adding heavy-duty ceiling braces, and balancing blades to deliver quiet, efficient operation aligned with ENERGY STAR ceiling fan guidance. Members save on electrical services through our Home Advantage Membership. Call (207) 672-2801 to speak with a representative about scheduling an installation or receiving an estimate.

We are a local, family-owned business taking pride in neat, precise electrical work. Greater Portland homeowners rely on us for safe, wobble-free fan installations.

Can an electrician install a ceiling fan where a light fixture used to be? Yes, provided we install a fan-rated structural support box. Upgrading outlet boxes is a standard part of our installation service.

Do you install ceiling fans on high or vaulted ceilings in Scarborough homes? Yes, we utilize proper downrod lengths and specialized scaffolding to install fans safely on high ceilings.

Can you wire wall switches and remote controls for ceiling fans? Yes, we wire multi-function wall switches, hand-held remotes, and smart home fan controls.

How do ceiling fans lower home heating bills during Maine winters? Running fans in reverse at low speeds pushes warm air trapped at the ceiling back down into living spaces without creating drafts.

How do I choose the correct ceiling fan size for my room? Fan blade span scales directly with room square footage. We help you select proper sizing to ensure noticeable air movement.

Will Gelinas HVAC haul away my old light fixture or ceiling fan? Yes, old fixture removal and disposal are included with our service.

Because Gelinas provides both electrical and HVAC services under one roof, our licensed electricians handle every step of your fan installation, including dedicated wall switches, dimmers, and proper load balancing. If installing a fan is part of a larger electrical project, we can complete general electrical repair work and custom lighting installation during the same appointment. For homes with full breaker boxes, we evaluate whether an electrical panel upgrade is necessary to safely support new circuits. Before purchasing your new fixture, review ENERGY STAR ceiling fan guidance to compare airflow efficiency ratings.

It is worth calling a licensed electrician if your ceiling fan shows any of these common issues:

A wobble persists after balancing, which usually means the ceiling box was never fan-rated.
The motor makes loud grinding, humming, or buzzing sounds during operation.
The fan spins but moves noticeably less air than it should.
The wall switch feels warm to the touch while the fan is running.
Lights on the fixture flicker when the fan turns on, pointing to a circuit fault.

Warmth at a wall switch indicates dangerous electrical resistance building inside the wall box. Call (207) 672-2801 to have a technician inspect the wiring safely.

For over 30 years, Gelinas HVAC Services has helped Southern Maine homeowners navigate complex home upgrades with complete confidence. From precision sizing to code-compliant installation, our licensed team manages every detail of your ceiling fan installation in-house. Call (207) 672-2801 to speak with our local specialists and plan your project.

Common Ceiling Fan Problems We Solve

Installing a ceiling fan seems simple, but mounting heavy, rotating equipment to existing electrical boxes requires specialized support and proper wiring. Out on electrical calls in Scarborough, we frequently fix dangerously wobbling or noisy fans installed by previous DIY attempts. Here is how we resolve these common installation hazards.

Attaching a heavy ceiling fan to a standard plastic outlet box designed only for lightweight light fixtures poses a serious fall hazard as vibration loosens screws. We install heavy-duty, joist-anchored metal fan brace boxes rated to support up to 70 pounds of dynamic rotating weight safely.

Slight weight variations in fan blades or loose blade mounting brackets cause fans to wobble wildly at high speeds, creating irritating clicking and rattling noises. We inspect blade pitch angles, tighten all bracket fasteners, and apply precision weight balancing kits to ensure whisper-quiet, wobble-free rotation.

Wiring a fan/light combo to an existing single wall switch forces you to rely on pull chains to control light and fan speed independently. We run multi-conductor wiring or install wireless wall transmitter controls, giving you separate wall-switch control over fan speed and light dimming.
