"They were very good.  They did a very good job.  The fan works fine now.  The price was reasonable and fair ant wasn?t outrageous but I don?t remember the exact amount.  

I will use them again and I will recommend them to anybody.

"I am very happy with the service we received from Mr. Electric. We replaced all of our old smoke detectors, installed a new ceiling fan, repaired a bad breaker and got an overdue tune-up on our breaker panel. They are easy to schedule an appointment with and they arrived on time! They are very professional. We will definitely use them again."

"Be prepared for an upsell or "grossly inflated" estimate on work you never asked to have done. I call this company for an estimate on installing a ceiling fan and received a $14,000 quote (Gold package) to have the whole home re-wired/updated. How did I get this whacky quote from simple ceiling fan installation? I had electrical work performed 2-3 years ago, so I know a complete re-wiring wasn't needed. Perhaps one or two items revisited, but certainly nothing major (i.e. whole-home). Be wise about your home repairs my fellow consumers folks. Just because a repair guy says you need something extra or in addition, doesn't mean it's true. Always get three estimates. I had my ceiling fan installed for $125"

"I highly recommend Sammy and his team. Apparently my house had settled which caused the underground mains to pull away, which damaged one of the 'jaws' on the incoming power lines inside the meter panel. As you should be aware, APCO owns everything from the pole/line in to the jaws, and you own from the jaws into your house.
The electrician, Cruz was right on time and very pleasant to deal with. In our discussion, he was also highly qualified for the task and beyond. Unfortunately we had to wait close to 2 hours for the Alabama Power guy to get there...
When the APCO guy got there and pulled the panel from the meter box it turned out that the third party APCO contractor went ahead and repaired the jaw, likely because it could be considered a safety/fire hazard. There was nothing for Cruz, the electrician to do. There was some previous legwork such as getting a permit, and scheduling time with APCO, so Sammy had some time and cost in it already. Sammy COULD have charged me the $100 for the permit, and $145 x 2 hours for a total of $390, but instead charged me for only one hour ($145). This kind of service just doesn't exist anymore. It was nobody's fault (except perhaps the fact that the APCO contractor did not relay these details to my account notes), but Sammy would have been justified in billing me the full amount because he had his guy out there for 2 hours, and then the time and $$ associated with getting a permit and scheduling with APCO. 
Thank you Sammy Rubin! I hope this review brings you more business because of the way you dealt with my problem. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I come across, and will use you for my next electrical need (the basement). God Bless!!

FAQs for ceiling fan repair projects in Birmingham, AL

Maintain ceiling fans by cleaning them. They have sealed bearings so they don't usually need any type of lubrication. You'll want to dust the blades regularly, using a vacuum cleaner to get into inaccessible areas. You may want to remove the light cover and clean it out and any exposed areas for dust. You may need to use a wet cleaning solution of some kind, particularly on fans near kitchen areas, where grease buildup mixes with dust to create grime that can destroy your fan.

Common reasons include worn-out components from constant use, loose or faulty wiring, accumulated dirt and grime interfering with moving parts, electronic component failure, and physical damage from impacts. Motor capacitors may fail after years of operation, causing intermittent function or complete failure. Bearing issues can create excessive friction that eventually freezes the motor. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.

When a ceiling fan’s motor capacitor fails, it interrupts the essential electrical flow required for the fan’s proper operation. The capacitor is a compact but critical component responsible for initiating and regulating the power surge during startup and continuous operation. Without a functioning capacitor, the fan loses momentum, may experience stuttering speeds, and ultimately ceases to operate completely. Replacing the capacitor immediately restores the normal electrical balance, ensuring that the fan operates safely and efficiently while maintaining its intended airflow and performance levels.

Ceiling fans typically last between five and 15 years, averaging 10 years. Factors affecting lifespan include usage frequency, quality of materials, and routine maintenance. Environmental conditions also impact longevity. Ceiling fans installed in humid bathrooms or outdoor settings generally deteriorate faster than those in climate-controlled living spaces. Regular cleaning and prompt repairs can extend a fan's life and maintain its performance.
