Ceiling Fan Installation

Need safe, code-compliant ceiling fan installation with clean workmanship?

From replacing a light fixture to adding a fan with new wiring and controls, we do it right the first time.

When to Call for Installation or Repair

  • Existing light box isn’t fan-rated (wobbles or loosens over time)
  • No power at the ceiling location or switch won’t control the fan/light separately
  • Fan hums, wobbles, or trips the breaker after DIY wiring
  • You’re adding a fan to a room without overhead power
  • Sloped or high ceilings need a downrod, brace, or special canopy
  • Old fan/light combo draws too much load for the circuit
  • Remote receiver failed or pull-chain switch broke

What’s Included in a Code-Compliant Install

  • Safety check & load calculation for the branch circuit and panel/li>
  • Fan-rated support: UL-listed brace/box anchored to structure (no plastic light boxes)
  • Correct wiring & terminations to manufacturer specs (copper, proper gauge)
  • Switching options: single-pole, fan/light split, 3-way, or smart wall control
  • Grounding/bonding verification and AFCI/GFCI protection where required
  • Balancing & testing for quiet operation and steady airflow
  • Labeling & documentation plus permit/inspection when applicable

Pro Recommendations (Save These)

  • Match fan to room size:
  • 100 sq ft → 36–44"
    100–250 sq ft → 48–56"
    250 sq ft → 60–72"+ or dual fans
  • Target airflow: Look for high CFM and multiple speed settings for comfort without noise.
  • Ceiling height: Keep blades ~8–9 ft above the floor; add a downrod for taller ceilings
  • Rated box only: A fan must attach to a fan-rated box/brace, not a light-only box
  • Bathrooms/porches: Choose damp/wet-rated fans; standard fans will fail early.
  • Controls: If you have LED lamps in the light kit, use LED-compatible dimmers to avoid flicker.
