Our Work
Benefits
Modern, Energy-Saving Installations
We integrate modern controls that match Atwater living. Options include Lutron Caséta fan speed controls, wall/remote combinations, and Wi‑Fi integrations like Bond Bridge for app and voice control. For light kits, we specify JA8-compliant LEDs for Title 24. Our designs allow future upgrades—adding another fan, swapping controls, or expanding to whole‑home smart scenes without redoing wiring.
Safety, Permits, and Compliance
Shaffer Construction manages LADBS permitting and inspections, aligning your project with the California Electrical Code (CEC) and LA amendments. We install UL‑listed, fan-rated boxes as required by NEC/CEC 314.27(C), verify circuit capacity, and ensure grounding and AFCI protection where required. For fixtures with light kits, we specify high‑efficacy, JA8‑compliant lamps to support Title 24 lighting requirements.
Dependable, Skilled Craftsmanship
We mount to structure—not just drywall—using fan-rated steel boxes and adjustable joist braces for 70+ lb static loads. We use vibration-damping hardware, torque drivers to manufacturer spec, and secure wire terminations with lever connectors. Sloped ceilings get dedicated canopy kits and downrods. Every fan is balanced, tested on all speeds, and labeled for future service clarity.
Tailored Design and Consultation
We size fans to your room and ceiling height: 44" for small bedrooms, 52" for living rooms, and 60"+ for great rooms. We evaluate slope, switch locations, airflow path relative to returns/registers, and fixture style so the fan complements Craftsman beams or Spanish arches. Downrods are selected to keep blades 8–9 feet above the floor for ideal airflow.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a ceiling fan in Atwater Village?+
If we’re installing a new fan location, upgrading a box to a fan-rated assembly, or modifying wiring, an LADBS electrical permit is typically required. A like-for-like swap of an existing fixture may be permit-exempt. We verify requirements, pull permits when needed, and coordinate inspections with LADBS.
Can you install fans on plaster or vaulted ceilings?+
Yes. We use adjustable steel fan braces that anchor to framing through plaster, and sloped-ceiling canopy kits with the correct downrod. Our team cores minimal openings, protects finishes, and performs light patching where needed. The result is a stable, quiet fan with clean lines on challenging ceilings.
What size ceiling fan should I choose?+
"> As a guide: up to 100 sq ft, use ~44"; 100–225 sq ft, ~52"; above 225 sq ft, 60"+. We also consider ceiling height, slope, and desired airflow. Downrods are selected to keep the blades 8–9 feet above the floor for optimal comfort and clearance.
What if my home has knob-and-tube or no ground?+
We do not extend old knob-and-tube circuits. For safety and compliance, we replace the box and run a new grounded feed or relocate to a compliant circuit. We check panel capacity, add AFCI where required, and ensure proper bonding and grounding at the new fan location.
