Our Work
Benefits
Installations Built for the Future
We install and integrate modern fans and fixtures that work with your smart home. Options include Wi‑Fi fans with native apps, Lutron Caséta fan speed controls, and light kits compatible with dimming standards and smart assistants like Alexa, Google, and Apple Home. For large, high-ceiling rooms, we design scalable solutions with multiple synchronized fans, remote receivers, and wall controls. We also specify high-efficacy LED light kits and quiet DC-motor fans to deliver higher CFM per watt and smoother speed control.
Proper Permits and Compliance
Shaffer Construction manages permits and inspections end-to-end, coordinating with the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division. We follow the California Electrical Code (CEC), including NEC 314.27(C) for fan support boxes, and apply Title 24 guidance for high-efficacy lighting and compatible controls when installing fan light kits. Bedrooms and living areas often require AFCI protection per CEC 210.12, which we verify. Our documentation, labeling, and photos streamline approvals and keep your project compliant the first time.
Proven Craftsmanship and Quality
Our installations use UL-listed fan-rated boxes and in-ceiling brace systems rated for 70–150 lb loads, metal mounting hardware, and manufacturer-specified slope adapters and downrods. We use high-quality connectors, anti-vibration fasteners, and set screw threadlocker where appropriate to prevent loosening over time. Conductors are sized correctly (14 AWG or 12 AWG as circuit requires), terminations are torqued to spec, and all boxes are grounded. We balance blades, verify amperage draw, and ensure quiet, wobble-free operation before we leave.
Tailored Assessment and Design
We start with your room’s dimensions, ceiling height, and slope to size the fan by square footage and CFM target. For vaulted spaces, we select the right downrod length to keep blades 8–9 feet above the floor and use compatible slope adapters for smooth rotation. We help you pick finishes that match fixtures in adjoining rooms and coordinate controls—dual wall controls, remote, or smart integration—so you get the look, airflow, and usability you want without clutter or guesswork.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a ceiling fan in Santa Clarita?+
Like-for-like replacements typically don’t require a permit. If we’re adding a new fan where only a light existed, installing a new circuit, or changing the support box to a fan-rated brace, a permit and inspection from the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division may be required. We’ll confirm during the assessment and handle paperwork, with typical permits taking 1–3 weeks.
What size ceiling fan should I choose for a vaulted master bedroom in Westridge?+
"> For a 14'×16' room, a 52"–60" fan is typical; larger rooms may benefit from 60"–72". With vaulted ceilings, we add a downrod to keep blades 8–9 feet above the floor and use a slope adapter if the pitch exceeds the fan’s allowance. We also look at CFM ratings to ensure enough airflow for Santa Clarita’s hot summers.
Can you install a fan on the second floor without attic access?+
Yes. We use UL-listed retrofit brace systems that install through the existing ceiling opening and anchor to joists, providing fan-rated support without attic access. We fish wiring through minimal openings and can add separate fan/light controls. Any small drywall patches are neatly repaired or left paint-ready per your preference.
Will a ceiling fan really lower my AC costs in Santa Clarita?+
Fans don’t lower room temperature, but the wind-chill effect makes you feel about 4°F cooler. That lets you raise the thermostat and shorten AC cycles. Many homeowners see 10–20% summer cooling savings when they consistently use properly sized, balanced fans instead of lowering the thermostat further.
Can you integrate my fan with smart home controls?+
Absolutely. We install Wi‑Fi-enabled fans and Lutron Caséta fan controllers, and set up remote receivers where needed. We can integrate with Alexa, Google, or Apple Home for voice and app control, and program favorite speeds and scenes. We’ll also ensure dimmable light kits are compatible with your chosen control for flicker-free performance.
