Brooklyn Electrician – EV Charger Installation & Electrical Panel Upgrade in Red Hook, Brooklyn
A homeowner in 550 7th St, Brooklyn, NY reached out to Daven Electric Corp. looking for a ceiling fan installation in multiple rooms to improve air circulation and reduce their reliance on air conditioning. However, during our initial electrical inspection, we discovered that their existing ceiling wiring was outdated and not rated for heavy loads.
To ensure a safe and long-lasting installation, we recommended:
✔ Upgrading ceiling wiring to handle the electrical load
✔ Installing new ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes
✔ Adding dedicated wall switches for easy control
Challenges & Issues
🔹 Outdated Ceiling Wiring – The existing wiring was not designed to support ceiling fans, which posed a potential safety risk.
🔹 No Ceiling Fan Support Boxes – The electrical boxes in the ceiling were not fan-rated, meaning they couldn’t securely hold a heavy ceiling fan.
🔹 Lack of Dedicated Switches – The homeowner wanted separate controls for the fan and light, but their existing setup only had a single switch.
🔹 Uneven Power Supply – Some rooms had inconsistent voltage, which required minor rewiring to ensure stable electrical performance.
