Should electrician do this?
"Cindy" wrote in message .. . We just had a master bedroom added on to our home. The price for the addition was fair...not too high or too low. We've done several miscellaneous things ourselves that were supposed to be included in the price for one reason or another...no big deal. We had a ceiling fan put in the room along with recessed lights. When the electrician was here, he asked if we wanted a dimmer for the lights. We said yes. He said it would be $45 extra which I felt was ridiculous but we okayed it. At the same time, he asked if we wanted a wall remote for the fan. He suggested that it wasn't necessary since we could control the speed from the fan itself. So we passed on the wall remote. We just found out the fan is always on high because he didn't install the remote into the fan unit and there is no external control on the fan. You declined to have a switch installed. Now it is his fault? Sorry I do not see the logic there. If he chose the fan then maybe you have a issue. I will bet that he just hung it unless you did. Please provide make and model of your fan. I have never seen a fan that did not have a method of switching speeds, the ole pull chain comes to mind. Some I have seen have slide switches on the housing for fan speeds. Most have pull chains. less than 50 bucks at the home center and you can buy a remote control. Which is the way all of my fans are controled. Would you just fix it yourself or have the electrician come out and do the job right? Thanks, Cin -- Newsguy Express Usenet Accounts: 15GB/month at only $9.95! |
