What We Completed for Tim Mcauliffe

Repositioned 2 ceiling fans to center them in the room for symmetrical airflow and aesthetics.
Moved 2 recessed can lights to properly align with the new ceiling fan locations and room layout.
Installed 2 new can light fixtures (fixtures included) with a neat, low-profile finish.
Installed 2 customer-supplied ceiling fans on existing fan-rated boxes and circuits.
Ran short NM-B 14/2 wiring to the new centered positions, including any required junction box to maintain code-compliant splices and routing.
Function-tested all fixtures and verified quiet fan operation and even light spread.

The result is a cleaner ceiling layout, improved comfort from properly centered fans, and brighter, more uniform lighting across the space.

Our Code-Safe, Detail-Oriented Approach

NM-B 14/2 Romex (15 ft) used to extend existing lighting circuits to the new locations, sized appropriately for 15-amp lighting applications.
Secure junctioning in listed enclosures where required, with correct cable clamps and cover plates for a tidy, accessible finish.
Fan-rated support and hardware confirmed for each ceiling fan to ensure safe, long-term operation.
Neat terminations and labeling to support future service and easy identification.

Every connection and routing decision was made with safety, accessibility, and long-term reliability in mind.

Why Center Fans and Recessed Lights?

Better airflow and comfort: Centered fans distribute air more evenly, reducing hot and cold spots.
Improved light uniformity: Recessed lights placed on the correct axes minimize shadows and brighten key areas.
A cleaner look: Symmetry improves sightlines and helps rooms feel organized and intentional.
Future flexibility: Properly planned locations make it easier to add dimmers, smart controls, or additional fixtures later.
