Central Fixture Co.

The Casablanca fans are incredible. They move a tremendous amount of air, but they are almost silent, unless on high. Even then, they are smooth and whisper quiet. The installation--my husband did it himself--was easy on all fans but one. For some reason, that light fixture just will not attach. I have already called Central Fixture and they are going to exchange that one today. There was no hassle, no complaint, just "We'll take care of that." By the way, my brother-in-law, who works for Shea Homes in California, has put in thousands of these fans, and he has never had a single problem with them. We tried our usual fans from Hunter, and all we had was trouble, so we listened to him and went with Casablanca. The store itself is about two blocks west of Knoxville (Route 40), easily found and accessible. The parking lot is huge, and the owners helped load the car that first time, so I had no issues with going there myself, the next time. They have a very large room of discontinued merchandise, and the prices are excellent, below even the contractor's price they always give. My daughter is coming up from Ohio to buy lights, because of that and because the merchandise is of high quality. The store sells all lighting products at the contractor's price of 40% off list, so the cost was significantly less than if I had bought them elsewhere. Home Depot does sell the fans, but they have to be ordered and it seems no one does so: the lighting guy there even told me they don't sell them and was shocked when I showed him they did. Before I showed him their own website info, he said, "Those are the Cadillac of fans." The price there is also about 40% off, but you have to take fans as they come, not mix things up to get the perfect fan for you, as I did at Central Fixture. At Central Fixture, the service is personal; they don't mind taking time to help you get it right; they know what they are doing--they've been in business for three generations. I am thrilled that I found the company and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants quality light fixtures. For the $2400.00 that we spent, we got 5 ceiling fans, lighting attachments, and globes. At the SRP, we would have spent $4000.00.
