Michael & Son Services has been serving the metropolitan area for over 30 years, established in 1976 by my father Mousa "Mike" Mansour, along with the help of my mother Siham"Suzi". My Father had an all too typical poor immigrant story; leaving school at the age of twelve in order to work to help support his family, he started learning the electrical trade at the age of twelve. After immigrating to America in 1968 he found work as a union electrician during the day and worked for his customers on week nights and weekends. Since the age of 6 years I tagged along with my father on any Saturday, school holidays and summer vacations. I enjoyed working with my father and the friendship we had. While my father wasn't a wealthy man he gave me a wealth of experiences and a great foundation for both the technical skills and values that would define the man that I am. He taught me the value of being an honorable man of your word. I owe all that I have to what my parents gave me.

Transcripts

Felix: I am Felix from Michael & Son. We are here today to show you how to install a ceiling fan. First of all, we have to determine the size of the fan. Either if you need it or not, we have downrods.

The size of the fan depends on the size of the room. So each manufacturer give you guidelines, how many square foot you have in your room. How big is the diameter of your fan? In this case, we are going to use a 60 inches diameter fan. We are going to use a downrod. The downrod we are going to use is 6 foot long. That's because of the height of the ceiling.

If your ceiling had a lot of a pictures around or decorations, you don't want to cover them. In that case, the ceiling fan will be installed higher. You don't want the ceiling fan cover those pictures. If you want to use your fan as a light for the room as well, you depend on that light, you better have the ceiling fan installed closer to the floor, so lower. So that depends for each installation. You have to go accordingly with your house. Now that we get determined the size of the fan, the size of the downrod, we are going to prepare the area. First thing is drop clothes, we have to put them to floor. We are using a 16 footer ladder, A-frame, its electrical insulated. It doesn't need to be like that because we are going to cut the power anyway. In this case, because of the weight of the fan, its kind of heavy, and because we are using downrod, you require two people. One to hold the fan, while the the other person is climbing up the ladder. At some point, the two person will be in the ladder. So the ladder we are using is capable to handle two workers at the same time.
