Signs Your Home Needs Better Ventilation

Heat and moisture build up quietly, and the damage they cause often shows up long after the problem starts. A few signs suggest that a fan, or a fan that works better, would help.

Upstairs rooms that stay hot long after sunset
An attic that feels like an oven on summer afternoons
Bathroom mirrors that stay fogged and paint that peels
Musty smells or mildew in a bathroom or attic
An attic fan that hums, rattles or no longer turns on
Rooms that feel stuffy even with the air conditioning running

Near the ocean and the bay, humid air adds to the problem, because moisture that settles in an attic or bathroom can feed mold and wear on building materials. Good ventilation is part of keeping a coastal home in good shape.

Simple, Clean Installation

Our Fan Installation Process

Every fan job starts with the space it serves. An attic fan has to match the size of the attic and its vents, and a ceiling fan has to suit the room and be mounted to handle its weight and motion.

Assess the Space

We look at the attic, room or bathroom, check the existing wiring and venting, and recommend a fan and control that fit. Your estimate is free.
Wire and Mount

We run a protected circuit or tie into a suitable existing one, install a fan-rated box where needed and mount the fan securely. Work that needs a permit is filed with the township.
Set the Controls

We connect thermostats, humidity sensors, timers, wall controls or remotes, so each fan runs when it should without anyone having to think about it.
Test and Walk Through

We test the fan at every speed and setting, check for noise and wobble, and explain the warranty and how to keep the fan running well.

Attic Fan Installation and Replacement

An attic fan pulls hot air out of the attic and draws cooler air in through the soffit or gable vents. Lowering the attic temperature takes some of the load off your air conditioning and helps the rooms below stay comfortable on hot afternoons.

We install new attic fans and replace old ones, each wired to a thermostat so it switches on only when the attic gets hot, and many homeowners add a humidity control to move damp air out as well. Venting is part of the job. A fan without enough intake air can pull cooled air up from the house, so we check that the attic has the openings it needs.

Replacing an old fan is often simpler than a new install because the wiring and opening are already in place, and a new motor usually runs quieter. Every attic fan installation includes our one-year warranty, and we show you where the thermostat is set and how to adjust it.

Attic Fan Repair and Troubleshooting

Attic fans work hard in a hot space, and motors, thermostats and wiring eventually wear out. Attic fan repair starts with finding out which part has failed: a fan that never turns on may have a bad thermostat or a tripped circuit, while a loud or slow fan usually has a worn motor or bearing.

We test the circuit, the control and the motor, then repair or replace the part that failed. When the fan is near the end of its life, we tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Attic wiring takes a beating from summer heat, and older connections can turn brittle, so we inspect the run to the fan while we are up there.

Ceiling Fan Installation for Every Room

Ceiling fan installation is one of the easiest ways to make a room more comfortable all year. In summer, a fan creates a breeze that lets you set the thermostat a little higher, and in winter, running it in reverse at low speed pushes warm air down from the ceiling.

We install ceiling fans in bedrooms, living rooms, sunrooms and covered porches, replace light fixtures with fans, and add fans where no fixture exists today. Every fan goes on a box rated for fan support, since a standard light box is not built for a fan's weight and movement. On tall or sloped ceilings, we use the correct downrod or angled mount so the blades sit at a safe, effective height.

Covered porches get fans rated for damp locations, which hold up to the humid air near the water. Adding a wall control with separate fan and light buttons is a small touch that makes the fan easier for everyone to use.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installation

Bathroom exhaust fan installation protects your home from the moisture a shower leaves behind. Without a working fan, steam settles on walls and ceilings, where it can lead to peeling paint, swollen trim and mildew.

We install new fans in bathrooms that have none, replace noisy or weak fans with quieter and stronger models, and make sure the fan vents outside rather than into the attic. Options include fans with built-in lights, night lights and humidity sensors that switch the fan on and off by themselves. A timer switch is a simple upgrade that keeps the fan running long enough to clear the room after you leave. Replacing a fan that is already ducted is usually a quick job, and it often makes a noticeable difference in noise.

What Affects the Cost of a Fan Project

Fan projects are priced by the type of fan and the work needed to power and mount it. Estimates are free, and you see the price before any work begins.

The type of fan: attic, ceiling or bathroom exhaust
Whether wiring and a switch already exist at the location
Attic access, ceiling height and roof or wall venting
Controls such as thermostats, timers or remotes
Replacing an old fan versus installing a new one

Bundling fans into one visit, such as an attic fan and two bathroom fans, can save time and cost compared with separate appointments. We can also look at nearby lighting or wiring while we are there. Every attic fan installation in Brick, NJ includes the same one-year warranty, whatever the size of the job.

Fan Installation Questions

(732) 621-0778

Does an Attic Fan Really Help Cool My House?

An attic fan lowers the temperature in the attic, which reduces the heat that radiates down into the rooms below and eases the load on your air conditioning. Results depend on your insulation, roof and venting. We look at all three during the estimate and tell you honestly whether a fan is the right improvement for your home or whether something else should come first.

What Does the One-Year Warranty on Attic Fans Cover?

JL General Electric Services includes a one-year warranty on attic fan installations. It reflects our confidence that the fan was installed and wired the right way. Ask us about the terms when you receive your estimate, and call us with any question about the fan's operation during that first year so we can look into it.

Can a Ceiling Fan Go Where a Light Fixture Is Now?

Usually, yes. The existing wiring can often power the fan, but the box behind the old fixture must be rated to support a ceiling fan. We swap in a fan-rated box or brace when needed, then mount the fan. If you want separate control of the fan and its light, we can add a second switch or a wireless control.

Where Should a Bathroom Exhaust Fan Vent?

Outside. A fan that vents into the attic simply moves the moisture to a place where it can cause mold and rot. We run the duct to a proper exterior outlet through the roof, wall or soffit, depending on your home. If your current fan dumps air into the attic, correcting the vent is one of the most useful upgrades you can make.

How Do I Know if My Attic Fan Has Stopped Working?

On a hot afternoon, a working attic fan should be running, and you may hear a low hum near the vent. If the attic feels unusually hot, the fan never seems to come on, or it makes grinding or rattling noises, it likely needs attention. We test the thermostat, motor and wiring and tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense.
