Our Work
Benefits
Modern Installations, Future-Ready
We install modern DC-motor ceiling fans, quiet by design and up to 70% more efficient than older AC-motor models. Our team integrates smart controls—Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, or compatible fan modules—for app, voice, and scene control with Alexa, Google, or Apple Home. We size fans by room volume and CFM needs, select correct downrods for high or sloped ceilings, and pre-wire for future upgrades. Thermal imaging, borescopes, and stud-mapping tools help us verify framing and heat at connections for long-term reliability.
Certified and Compliant Service
Shaffer Construction handles permitting, plan notes, and inspections in accordance with the City of Burbank’s adopted 2022 California Electrical Code and Title 24 energy standards. We install UL-listed fan-rated boxes per NEC/CEC 314.27(C), verify grounding and box fill, and use AFCI/GFCI protection where required. For lighting, we provide JA8-compliant, high-efficacy options to meet California’s energy code. Our field leads coordinate directly with Burbank Building and Safety, ensuring a smooth inspection and a signed-off job the first time.
Reliable Workmanship & Quality
From lag-bolting fan braces into framing to balancing blades and isolating vibration, we build installs that feel solid and sound silent. We use 70–150 lb-rated fan boxes, properly torqued screws, and vibration-dampening hardware. Connections are made with premium, code-listed lever or twist connectors; conductors are neatly dressed and labeled. We test voltage, continuity, and thermal performance under load, then verify smooth startup, correct rotation, and noise-free operation before we leave.
Personalized Planning & Design
Every Burbank home is different. We assess ceiling height, slope, joist layout, room size, and expected use (nursery, living room, patio) to recommend the right blade span, CFM, and control style. We review finish options that match mid-century, ranch, or contemporary interiors and coordinate with existing lighting plans. If you’re integrating smart dimmers or multi-location controls, we confirm neutral availability and box capacity, and propose a clean, future-ready wiring layout tailored to your home.
What We Offer
We offer a full range of ceiling fan and lighting services tailored to Burbank’s ranch, mid-century, and townhome properties. Here are common tasks we complete with precision and care:
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Burbank to add a ceiling fan?+
Like-for-like replacements typically don’t need a permit. Adding a fan where none existed, replacing a non-rated box with a fan-rated support, or running new wiring often does. We handle City of Burbank permits and inspections when required and advise you during the assessment so the project stays compliant and on schedule.
Can you install a fan on my vaulted or sloped ceiling?+
Yes. We select the correct downrod length, use sloped-ceiling canopy kits, and ensure the fan is mounted to a UL fan-rated box anchored to structure. We also confirm blade clearance to walls and beams typical in mid-century and ranch homes, and balance the fan for quiet operation on higher ceilings.
How do you size the right fan for my room?+
"> We consider room dimensions, ceiling height, and usage to target proper CFM. Bedrooms typically perform well with 44–52" fans; larger living rooms may need 56–72" spans or dual fans. We also consider airflow efficiency of DC motors and select a control method—wall, remote, or smart—that fits your wiring and lifestyle.
Can you integrate smart controls with my existing switches?+
Often, yes. We verify neutral availability, box fill, and wiring path. We install Lutron Caséta or Decora Smart controls, program schedules and scenes, and ensure dimming compatibility for attached lights. If required, we add neutrals or upgrade boxes to meet code and provide reliable smart operation.
Do you install outdoor patio fans in Burbank’s climate?+
Absolutely. We select damp- or wet-rated fixtures depending on exposure, use corrosion-resistant hardware, and ensure proper sealing at penetrations. Outdoor-rated controls and balanced blades deliver quiet airflow on hot Valley evenings. We also verify GFCI protection where required.
