Jason and Jack are great guys and true fan professionals. Never have I called a company for help and IMMEDIATELY received friendly, informative solutions. Not kidding, I called them yesterday, while I was up on my ladder, and they actually walked me through the complete installation process. Now I've got a great fan that actually works, a futuristic control switch on the wall and a very happy wife and family! Yea!

The owner was very helpful in diagnosing the problem with my fan. The receiver I needed isn't made any longer but he makes a replacement receiver. I got the parts in a few days which included very detailed instructions on how to replace the old receiver. All went very smoothly and within hour I had saved a very expensive Casablanca fan. I strongly recommend the Fan Man.

The fan man was great to work with! He understood and clarified the issues with the remote for my older ceiling fan. He set me up with just what I needed, patiently gave me instructions for how to install. These folks know their stuff, and generously share their knowledge. Never talked down to me, which I so appreciate, as a senior woman. I'd highly recommend Fan Man Lighting to anyone with fan or lighting needs!

Contacted Fan Man looking for replacement parts for an old Casablanca fan thinking I needed a new wall control & circuit board based on what I had on found on the web. Jason in service contacted me immediately with a quick solution. The fan now works like it use to. Thank you!
