What Power Ranch homes typically need
Homes in this part of Gilbert typically have open family rooms, covered rear patios and bedrooms that were pre-wired for fans at the time of building. Fans that are 15 to 25 years old are common. Signs they have reached the end of their life include wobble, capacitors that no longer run all speeds and yellowed light kits.
- Builder fan replacement. The most frequent call. New DC-motor fans are quieter and use less power. See ceiling fan replacement.
- Great-room upgrades. Taller ceilings call for a larger fan, a longer downrod and a remote. See vaulted and high ceiling fan installation.
- Covered patios. Original patio fans often fail from sun and dust. See patio ceiling fan installation.
- Adding fans where there are none. Secondary bedrooms, offices and bonus rooms may have only a light box. See new ceiling fan wiring.
Fans and the East Valley heat
Summer highs in the East Valley regularly pass 105 degrees, and community pools and shaded patios are where families spend the evenings. A properly sized patio fan and a bedroom fan on a low speed overnight are the two cheapest ways to be more comfortable. The Department of Energy notes that a ceiling fan can let you raise the thermostat about four degrees with no loss of comfort, and that adds up across a long cooling season.

Age-qualified and single-story homes nearby
Trilogy at Power Ranch and other single-story communities in the area have ceilings that are comfortable to work on, but many owners would rather not climb a ladder. We take care of lifting, mounting and balancing so you do not have to.
HOA considerations
Interior fan work does not usually involve the HOA, but patio changes and visible exterior fixtures may. Check your community's rules before changing patio structures, and ask us if you need a description of the fan and mounting for approval.
