$490 for a New Ceiling Fan Install, Day in the Life of a Residential Electrician, Thoughts?

What happens here

After all components are installed, the power is safely turned back on at the electrical panel. The new ceiling fan is then tested to ensure it operates correctly, checking fan speeds and observing for any wobbling. The video notes that this particular fan is controlled by a remote, with no traditional wall switch, so the remote is used for testing. Once confirmed operational and satisfactory, the work area is tidied up, and tools are put away.

Goal: Verify proper fan operation and tidy up the workspace.

What they say

Hide

was four set screws on this fan. Then I put the housing on. Typically, a lot of fans come with a housing or a collar for the purpose of hiding any mechanical components. Last step, I install the new fan blades and boom, she's finished and looking pretty. New fan complete, customer satisfied, the fan is working. This fan was only controlled by a remote and there was no switch on the wall. I put my tools away and got to eat some lunch. And that's what a day looks like as an electrician.
