You deserve a safe and reliable home. Get the job done right the first time with outstanding customer service from the Twin Cities top rated electrician. Outlets, fans, lighting, smoke detectors, switches, and service panels. Your full service electrician.
"Exceptional service to update my master bath lighting as part of a bath remodel. This is my second major project done by Randy’s. I appreciated the help in designing my lighting. I added 4 ceiling lights and 3 new sconces by the mirrors. Another outlet was also installed along with a new vent fan. Getting advice on the latest lighting fixtures was helpful to me in updating bath lighting not updated since 1985. My old vent fan still worked and it was recycled for use in my guest bath as a cost saving measure suggested by Randy’s. The work site was thoroughly cleaned after the project was completed. Very satisfied and will use for all my electrical needs in the future."

"WARNING - make sure you get a fully price estimate up front before they begin to do work. I brought them in to work on furnace/AC unit/split AC unit servicing garage (based on a promotional price for the first two). It was found my split unit needed a recharge for coolant and I was told that it'd only be 5 lbs of coolant and that this would be priced by the pound (which was reasonable). The bill came and they tacked on a flat charge of $219 for the coolant (this is in addition to the $129 charge to look over the split unit). I felt baited-and-switched. I also contacted them about this, and the answer came down to "This is additional profit for us added onto your bill." Not pleased. At all. Particularly since the coolant in question costs approximately $6 per pound and they only used 5 lbs (one would assume that the $129 charge built in enough profit for labor/licenses/equipment due to the limited time spent working on the split unit. Apparently not). Comfort By Design does excellent work, and they do stand by their work, but just be VERY CAREFUL in finding out what they're going to charge you, particularly if something extra comes up when they're doing a job."

"Nick was waiting for me when I came back from an errand. He was very good at explaining what he was going to do, then did it, then explained what he found. Very professional!

Bath exhaust fan installations FAQs
Licensed electricians typically install bathroom exhaust fans, ensuring safe wiring and code compliance. If new ductwork is needed, an HVAC specialist handles the venting. A handyman may suffice for simple replacements, but new installations should involve a licensed electrician to ensure a safe and effective installation that lasts for years to come.
If you’re replacing an existing fan, purchase a fan with the same dimensions so you won’t have to make any additional cuts in your ceiling or wall to accommodate it.
Pay attention to the fan’s CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. A larger bathroom generally benefits from a larger CFM rating. At a minimum, you need one CFM per square foot.
You’ll also want to look for the fan’s sones rating, which measures how loud the fan will be during operation. Higher numbers indicate louder fan operation. To keep things quiet, look for two sones or fewer.
Installing a bathroom exhaust fan takes two to four hours when new wiring and ductwork installation are required. For a simple replacement that involves no extra modifications, the process takes one hour or more. This installation ensures all electrical and ventilation requirements are met and provides optimal airflow to your bathroom.
Bathrooms with windows do not automatically require an exhaust fan if natural airflow sufficiently reduces humidity. However, relying solely on a window does not guarantee consistent moisture removal. An exhaust fan actively ejects humid air, preventing mold growth and damage to surfaces. Installing a fan ensures reliable and continuous ventilation regardless of window size or weather conditions.
Bathroom fans last 10 years with proper upkeep. Regular cleaning and prompt repairs extend the life and efficiency of the fan. When signs of aging, such as increased noise or persistent odors, emerge, the fan must be replaced promptly to maintain optimal ventilation and safeguard your bathroom from moisture-related damage.
Local building codes mandate that all bathrooms maintain proper ventilation through a fan or window system. Verifying these requirements before installation is essential to ensure safety and code compliance. Hiring a licensed professional ensures that your installation meets all local regulations, thereby reducing the risk of moisture-related damage and potential fines.
