Ok I just gonna be transparent on this.
I don't get to deal with the installer itself, there is an intermediate person who may not have the full knowledge of the installation and just gonna be bragging about stuffs that they might not know.
High chances this fella just gonna be acting like they know everything and never heard of installation method through drilling, why I know this, because it appear I know stuffs more than he do on many thing I asks, you may ask me to change to other installer, but this is a package they included for this part which I have to live with.
Reason why I asked so much here is to make sure I know what I paid for instead of just plainly paying 30 or 50 bucks on something that is not justifiable.
Of course in the end it also influence the decision I have to make on which fan I should purchase, a baby fan with a hook, or like KDK and Panasonic which is drilling.
Brand wise and quality of course KDK and Panasonic is more reputable, but I have to live with drilling method of their fan installation and challenge any unreasonable claim from their side which they did not want to explore.
So now the option to totally let them do what they think right is not an option here, I need to keep an eye on it.
This room originally came with a fan hook. Because my spouse wanted a 'high' ceiling look, we installed a KDK baby fan. I cut away the hook so that I can centralised the fan.
This is Alpha baby fan with hook.
You can buy the fan and look for your own installer. Dont need to go through the guy.
