Fans & ceilings in Houston
- Year-round AC + humid summers make ceiling fans a daily appliance — wobble and noisy bearings show up sooner than in dry climates.
- Many Pearland / Spring tract homes have light-only boxes in secondary bedrooms; converting needs a fan-rated brace ($259 class).
- Two-story foyers and vaulted living rooms need taller ladders and more time; say so when you book so we bring the right setup.
- Remote kits are popular after LED retrofits; pairing is a $49 add-on when the fan is already mounted correctly.
