What & Why

A fan-rated box and the right switching make all the difference.

Most DIY ceiling-fan installs fail because the box is not fan-rated — a standard fixture box cannot handle the dynamic load. We pull the right box, run a 3-conductor wire when the room needs independent fan + light control, and balance the blades so the fan runs vibration-free for years.

Smart fans? We pair them and walk you through the app. Sloped ceiling? We size the downrod for you.

What's Included

Six things, every install.

From a single living-room fan to four bedrooms in one visit.

Site & Wiring Check

Existing box inspected for fan-rated support. Switch wiring traced. Room load checked for additional circuit needs.

Fan-Rated Box Install

Code-required fan-rated box installed to joist or fan brace. Old non-rated box removed.

Switch & Wire Pull

New 3-conductor switch wire pulled for independent fan + light control. New circuit added if room load demands it.

Fan Assembly & Hang

Fan assembled per manufacturer, balanced for vibration-free operation, wires landed correctly for direction reversal.

Smart Pairing & Test

If smart fan: Lutron/Bond/Wi-Fi receiver paired, app walkthrough done, scenes set up to your preference.

Cleanup & Walkthrough

Drop cloths removed, drywall cuts patched (no finish paint), and we show you the controls before we leave.

When You Need It

Six reasons to put a fan in.

Hot Bedroom or Living Room

Bay Area summers without AC — a ceiling fan moves the air and cuts perceived temperature 4–6°F.

No Light Fixture Overhead

Many rooms in older homes have no ceiling box. Adding one is straightforward when planned.

Old Heavy Brass Fan

Pre-2000s fans are heavy, loud, and use 60–80% more energy than modern DC-motor fans.

Switch Controls Both Fan + Light

Single-switch setups force you to use the pull-chain. A second wire fixes it permanently.

Vaulted or Sloped Ceiling

Needs the right downrod length and a sloped-ceiling adapter. We size it for you.

Smart Home Integration

You want fan in HomeKit / Alexa / Google Home — needs the right receiver and a dimmable-compatible LED.

FAQ

Ceiling fan questions, straight answers.

Replacing an existing fixture with a new fan typically runs $250 – $450. A brand-new install that needs a fan-rated box, dedicated switch, and new wiring is usually $450 – $850. Smart fans and complex switching add to the range. Fixed quote on every job.

Yes. A standard light-fixture box is not rated for the dynamic load of a fan. We install a fan-rated box mounted to either joists or a fan brace before hanging any new fan. This is required by code.

Yes — we run new wiring from the nearest switched circuit (or pull a new dedicated circuit if the load requires), cut in the fan-rated box, and patch the access cuts in drywall. Finish paint is typically a separate trade.

Yes. Lutron Caséta, Bond, Hampton Bay smart receivers, and most Wi-Fi fan controllers. We wire them, pair them, and walk you through the app before we leave.

Yes. A 3-conductor + ground wire from the switch box gives independent on/off for fan and light. We pull this when adding a new fan to a room that previously had a single switch.

A straight replacement is usually 1–2 hours. A new install with wiring and switch additions is typically a half-day to a full day per location.
