Benefits

Modern Solutions for Modern Spaces

We install modern DC motor fans, low-noise drivers, and smart controls to keep your space efficient and adaptable. For commercial projects, we integrate with Lutron Vive, Casambi Bluetooth Mesh, or Crestron lighting controls for centralized scheduling and occupancy-based fan operation. We specify scalable solutions—wireless wall stations, remote apps, and gateways that can expand to additional rooms or tenant spaces—so today’s installation supports tomorrow’s layout changes without a costly rewire.

Full Compliance, Every Time

Shaffer Construction manages WeHo permitting end‑to‑end and installs to the California Electrical Code (CEC 2022, based on NEC), CALGreen, and Title 24 Part 6 lighting control requirements. We use UL-listed fan-rated boxes, verify conductor sizing, and ensure proper support per manufacturer specs and code. Our team coordinates inspections with the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division and documents load calculations, fixture schedules, and control diagrams to streamline approvals and pass final inspection the first time.

Workmanship You Can Trust

We use fan‑rated metal boxes (listed for 70–90 lbs), anti‑vibration mounts, and balanced blades to eliminate wobble. In commercial ceilings, we run copper THHN in EMT or MC as required, torque check set screws, and use ICC‑approved anchors for slab mounting. Our installers laser‑mark fixture layouts for perfect alignment, protect finished surfaces, and balance fans for whisper‑quiet operation. We verify bonding, GFCI/AFCI protection where required, and confirm dimmer/driver compatibility for flicker‑free, smooth control.

Custom Design for Your Space

Every project starts with an on‑site assessment: ceiling structure (joist, slab, or T‑bar), sprinkler clearances, plenum conditions, and existing wiring. We size fans by room volume and use, choose diameters and downrod lengths to maintain 7' headroom and proper wall clearance, and select noise‑sensitive DC motors for hospitality settings. For fixtures, we confirm weight, canopy size, and dimming method (0–10V, ELV, TRIAC, or DALI) to match your control system. You receive a clear layout, material list, schedule, and cost before we begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install ceiling fans in a commercial space in West Hollywood?+

If we’re adding a new fan-rated box, running new circuits, or integrating controls, the City of West Hollywood typically requires an electrical permit. Like-for-like fixture swaps may be exempt. We review scope during the site visit, advise on permit needs, handle the application, and schedule inspections. Simple permits can be over-the-counter; others take about 1–3 weeks depending on City workload and documentation requirements.

Can you install fans or fixtures on concrete ceilings in high‑rise condos or hotels?+

Yes. We use engineered anchors suitable for overhead slab mounting and verify post‑tension or embedded services before drilling. We coordinate with building engineering, maintain sprinkler clearances, and provide submittals for approval. Where penetrations affect fire ratings, we restore assemblies to meet code. All work is performed by trained lift operators with proper barricades to keep occupants safe.

How do you size fans for a boutique or showroom?+

"> We consider square footage, ceiling height, and use. Larger diameters move air gently in open rooms while smaller fans target fitting rooms or cash wraps. We aim for even air movement without drafty spots, maintain 7' headroom, and keep at least 18" from walls and beams. For quiet retail environments, DC motor fans with multi‑speed controls help fine‑tune comfort and minimize noise.

Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting guests or shoppers?+

Absolutely. We routinely schedule overnight or early‑morning shifts for Sunset Strip venues, hotels, and retail spaces. We set up dust control, quiet tools where possible, and thorough cleanup so you open on time. Our project managers coordinate with security, elevators, and loading dock access, and we can provide COIs, W‑9s, and worker lists in advance for property management.
