Frequently Asked Questions
Which electric utility serves Dallas, OR?
Pacific Power (PacifiCorp) serves the City of Dallas and most of Polk County. Knowing the serving utility matters for meter-base work, service upgrades, and any disconnect/reconnect coordination — we handle that scheduling with the utility for you.

How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Dallas?
Most Dallas-area fan replacements over an existing fan-rated box run $150–$275 installed. New installs that need a fan-rated box, a new switch leg, or vaulted-ceiling work run $275–$550.
Can you install a fan where there's only a light?
Yes — the existing pancake box almost certainly isn't rated for a fan's dynamic load. We replace it with a fan-rated brace box and confirm there's a hot conductor to control the fan separately from the light (or wire a remote).
Why does my ceiling fan wobble?
Most wobble is unbalanced blades, a loose downrod, or a non-fan-rated box flexing. We rebalance, retorque the downrod, and confirm the box is rated for fan motion loads.
Do you install Hubspace, Lutron, or smart fans?
Yes. We wire and configure smart fans from Hubspace (Home Depot), Hunter, Big Ass Fans, and Lutron Caséta — including pairing to your phone and grouping with smart-home scenes.
