"Actually, I have utilized this company for all home needs. My newly installed HVAC had a hiccup. Micah showed with a cape with the company logo on his chest and ensured proper and long term functioning. He also ensured we knew each step of the way to resolve the issue."

"It went very well. The electrician, Danny, was excellent. When an opening in his schedule became available a day earlier than our planned appointment, he called to see if I wanted to take it. I found it much more convenient. As the company had requested, I had ordered and purchased the "fan" in advance. It was composed of parts that fit into the existing fan housing. Danny installed it, but found that style produced a rattling vibration which I did not want. He suggested a style that would perform better and cost only a little more. It included both the interior and exterior parts and dropped down from the roof into the attic. Although it was late in the day and extremely hot, he went to the hardware store, found the new type, and installed it. The cost of the job included the service and the new fan. He helped me pack up the other fan for return to the supplier and also gave me free advice about some unrelated wiring in the attic that was not up to code and would not pass inspection, if I had one in the future. The new fan has a thermostat and is working well."

"I had 2 outlets that were not working. When I spoke to One Click they offered me a suggestion to try before even coming to my house which I thought was very nice. He was on time, polite, did an excellent job and even offered to tighten up some of my outside outlets. I will definitely call them again!"

"This was a great find!
Wes arrived for a same day estimate on a rainy day.  Arrived the next day to do the work.
This included deck platform repair that had a whole punched in it from a fallen tree.  I also had overhead storage racks to be installed in a garage.  He and his assistant both too great care in the installation and explaining additional options if I need more storage.
Very professional at a very reasonable price.  I will definitely use him again!

"Gave great insight and ideas for my basement. Just when I thought I have figured out my plan, Mr. Electric sent me a professional with different avenues I never thought of. To top it off, it wasn t to sell, just generally looking out for my best interest and safety."

"I called this afternoon, left a message, and received an immediate call back.
I explained that we needed a bath exhaust fan replaced.
He asked if I wanted a basic replacement that would run around $50 plus labor, or something nicer.
I opted for the basic model, as this is a spare bath.
He offered to send a workman out immediately.
My mistake was not asking for an estimate, or at least asking what the labor charge would be.
The workman, Mike, came as promised, with the basic model fan in tow. He had to do a little fitting work, but in just over an hour, the work was done, and all was cleaned up.  
He came in with an un-itemized bill, and said, "I called Mike, and he said $295.00"  I was a little surprised, but wrote him a check.
As I said, I should have asked what the labor charge would be, never dreaming that he would charge $200 an hour!
I doubled checked the model of fan I got, which was indeed around $50.
So it was an expensive lesson for me. Won't use this company again.

UPDATE: Because we were so upset by the very high price, we called Mr Cole the day after we wrote this review.
He promised to check with his workman and call us back the next day.
Well, almost two weeks later, and a follow email from us, we have heard nothing.
And he cashed the check.

Well, he got his money, but no more business from us, or our neighbors!"

"The tech (Mr. Electric, Chesterfield, VA) made an initial visit to evaluate / check out the non-working attic fan. After it was determined that the 14 year old fan was not functioning, we were provided with an estimate of the replacement and other options. We selected the one on one replacement. After a mutual date was selected, Mr. Electric of Chesterfield came in and replaced the fan. He was very careful when he carried the ladder up to the 3rd floor and also wore booties as it was raining outside. The job was completed and area left clean. We will be testing the fan over the summer and we have a one year parts and labor warranty!"

FAQs for attic or whole house fan installation projects in Richmond, VA

Installing an attic fan lowers attic temperatures and reduces moisture, protecting stored items and extending the life of roofing materials. It also prevents mold, mildew, and paint deterioration, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort in the home. This type of protection helps you avoid costly repairs in the future and maintains the integrity of your home.

Installing an attic fan may require multiple professionals. A roofing specialist or carpenter can create the vent and mount the fan securely, while a licensed electrician connects the system to the home's electrical supply. A dedicated attic fan installer may be able to tackle all of these areas themselves, so be sure to confirm what services they can provide. Hiring qualified professionals ensures the installation is safe and the attic fan operates reliably.

The lifespan of an attic fan depends on the type and how well it is maintained. Passive attic fans can last 40 to 50 years, while electric and solar models typically last 10 to 15 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance help ensure the fan operates reliably and safely. Ask your installation pro for their recommendations for ongoing maintenance and service to help your attic fan last for as long as possible.
