Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Electrical Solutions
We design fan and fixture systems that integrate with modern building technologies—wireless wall controls, remote kits, and networked lighting platforms like Lutron Vive for commercial spaces. For larger venues, we specify low-noise, high-efficiency motors and scalable control zones that can be adjusted by schedule, occupancy, or thermostat inputs. Our team plans for future growth, ensuring electrical capacity, control wiring, and mounting hardware can accommodate additional fans or upgraded fixtures without rework.
Licensed and Code-Compliant
Shaffer Construction handles all permitting with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division, prepares support details for fan-rated boxes, and coordinates inspections. We build to the California Electrical Code, CBC seismic and anchorage guidelines, and Title 24 controls where applicable. Our crews install UL-listed fan-rated boxes and support braces and follow manufacturer specifications for downrods and load ratings. If structural calculations or special inspection are required, we coordinate engineering to keep your project on schedule.
Exceptional Workmanship Guaranteed
We use commercial-grade, UL-listed fan-rated boxes (typically 70–90 lb ratings), steel support braces, locking downrods for high ceilings, and vibration-dampening hardware for quiet operation. Conductors are copper THHN/THWN in EMT or compliant cable as required, with proper grounding and bonding. We balance blades, verify torque settings, and secure all fasteners to manufacturer spec. Every install is megger-tested as needed, circuit-labeled, and documented so maintenance teams have clear records.
Custom Planning & Design
Every space is different. We assess ceiling type (T‑bar, open structure, drywall), structural attachment points, ceiling height, airflow needs, and acoustic sensitivity. Then we size fans, select downrods, and choose controls that fit how your team works. For studios and edit bays, we prioritize ultra-quiet fans and isolation hardware. For retail and restaurants, we model airflow patterns to avoid drafts at seating areas and registers. You’ll receive a clear plan, cut sheets, and schedule before we start.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Burbank to add ceiling fans in my commercial space?+
Most commercial fan installs require an electrical permit through the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division. Simple replacements may be over-the-counter; new locations with structural anchorage or added circuits may route through plan check. We handle the permit and schedule the inspection for you.
Can you install ceiling fans on a T‑bar/drop ceiling?+
Yes, but the fan cannot be supported by the T‑bar grid alone. We install a UL-listed fan-rated box and brace anchored to the building structure and provide seismic support as required by the CBC. This ensures safe operation and code compliance during inspection.
Will fans be quiet enough for recording or post-production rooms?+
We specify ultra-quiet, low-vibration models, use isolation hardware, and precisely balance blades. Controls are selected to avoid hum. We can demo noise levels and adjust placement to keep microphones and critical listening positions unaffected.
Can fans integrate with our existing lighting control system?+
Often, yes. We commonly integrate with wireless wall controls or Lutron Vive for commercial settings. Depending on your system, we’ll design separate fan and lighting control points for reliability and Title 24 compliance, and provide programming and documentation.
Do you work after hours to avoid disrupting business?+
Absolutely. We routinely schedule evening or early-morning work, especially for restaurants, retail, and studio environments. We bring lift-certified crews as needed and coordinate inspection timing to keep your operations on track.
