Our Work
Benefits
Solutions Built for Tomorrow
We design installations to work with today’s tech and tomorrow’s upgrades. Options include quiet, energy‑efficient DC‑motor fans, smart fan modules, and integrated controls compatible with Lutron Caséta, Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home. Where needed, we add neutrals at switch boxes, install separate fan/light control legs, and specify JA8‑compliant LED light kits. For tall or sloped ceilings common in Glendale’s hillside homes, we size downrods for optimal airflow and aesthetics, and we choose mounting systems that allow future control or fixture upgrades without opening finished ceilings.
Permits and Electrical Compliance
Shaffer Construction navigates Glendale’s permitting so you don’t have to. We build to the California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3, based on NEC 2020), Title 24 residential lighting requirements (Part 6, JA8 for high‑efficacy lighting), and Glendale Municipal Code amendments. Fans are supported per CEC 314.27(C) with listed fan‑rated boxes and bracing. We verify required Arc‑Fault and GFCI protection by space and coordinate inspections with the City of Glendale Building & Safety Division, providing all documentation needed for a smooth approval.
Expert and Reliable Workmanship
Our electricians use fan‑rated boxes and steel braces sized to the fan weight and ceiling structure, torque terminations to manufacturer specs, and use vibration‑dampening mounts for whisper‑quiet operation. We route conductors cleanly, label switch legs, and install high‑quality dimmers and controls. In plaster-and-lath ceilings, we make minimal openings and protect finishes. Every install is balanced, tested on all speeds, and checked thermally at connections for long‑term reliability—so your fan or fixture looks sharp and runs smoothly for years.
Customized Design Consultation
We begin with a room assessment: ceiling height, slope, joist direction, window placement, and furniture layout. Then we size the fan (blade span, pitch, CFM) for the room—52–60 inches for most living rooms, 44–48 inches for bedrooms—and match finishes to your interior style. We confirm control preferences (separate fan/light switches, remote, or smart hub), plan any wiring upgrades, and choose the correct downrod length for aesthetics and airflow. You’ll get a clear plan, finish recommendations, and a firm timeline and price before we start.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Glendale to replace an existing ceiling fan or light fixture?+
Often, a like‑for‑like replacement does not require a permit. However, if we install a new fan‑rated box/brace, add a circuit, or open walls/ceilings, the City of Glendale Building & Safety Division may require a permit and inspection. We evaluate your specific scope, advise you up front, and can file permits and meet the inspector as needed.
Can you install a fan on a sloped or very high ceiling in a Glendale hillside home?+
Yes. We specify a sloped‑ceiling adapter, determine the correct downrod length for airflow and sightlines, and use listed fan bracing that can be installed from below when attic access is limited. For very high ceilings, we bring appropriate ladders or scaffolding, ensure solid structural attachment to framing, and balance the fan for quiet operation.
Can you work in downtown Glendale condos with HOA requirements?+
Absolutely. We coordinate with property management for certificates of insurance, elevator pads, parking, and quiet hours. Concrete or post‑tension slabs and limited ceiling cavities are common in modern buildings; we use approved anchors and low‑profile boxes suited to those conditions and ensure the installation meets both HOA rules and city electrical code.
Will my new fan save energy in Glendale’s hot summers?+
Yes. A properly sized, efficient fan lets you raise your thermostat 3–4°F while maintaining comfort, cutting AC use by about 10–15%. DC‑motor and Energy Star models use a fraction of the energy of older fans. Over a typical Glendale summer, many homes see in cooling savings, plus improved comfort and air distribution.
