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.

Ceiling Fan Installation - Installing the Blades and Casing

Transcripts

Felix: Hi! I am Felix from Michael & Son. Today we are going to install a ceiling fan. At this point, we are going to install the blades and casing. Make sure you have installed the bulbs before you install the crystal. That's a very typical mistake, you finish up installing all the crystals and forget the bulbs. This is very clear in your manual. Do not over tie them. This screw up here, as you see there are four screws around. You just have to remove one, then bring the crystal, just find the three screws to ease the crystal and it is going to be secure. Now the last screw is going to make sure that crystal is not going to fall. Make sure all the screws are tightened, do not over tie them.

Once you have the crystal on, the next step is the blade. Now is the blade. So its one-by-one, do not use electrical drills and electrical screw drivers. Do it manually, you can easily damage the thread. At this point, we have all the blades done. The top light is done, I am going to install the second light. It goes down. Make sure you have all the screws tightened off, all of them.

Some people use the electrical screw drivers or drills. I don't recommend that. I think you should do it manually. You can easily damage the thread in the ceiling fan. By doing that, the whole fan is ruined. At this point, I am going to make the connections. Its just pretty straight forward, white with white, black with black. The last screw is going to leave the light kit on place. Now finish up, tightening up the rest of the screws.

Now the bulb. Here is the bulb. Now let's install the last part, the crystal. There is hook in it to help you with the installation.

Female Speaker: Once you have installed the hook, you can install the light cover without worrying about it falling. Simply adjust the screws on the side of the mount and attach the light cover with one screw at a time. Once the light cover is completely secure, you can turn your power back on and test the fan. You will also want to make sure everything is resting completely leveled after you use it. If so, it has been correctly installed. Felix: Here is our installed and completed ceiling fan. That's how we finish the installation of your ceiling fan. Coming up next, how your ceiling fan is going to save you money and energy.
