Ceiling Fan Installation in Salisbury, NC

About ceiling fan installation

A ceiling fan has to be wired and supported correctly to run quietly and stay put. A fan is heavier than a light and it moves, so it needs a box and brace rated for fan use, not just the plastic box that holds a light fixture.

We install fans of every size, including large models, and replace old fans and lights. If there is only a light in the room, we can convert it to a fan: swap the box, run the wiring for a switch or remote, and mount the fan securely. We also set up wall controls and remotes, and balance the fan so it does not wobble.

Larger and heavier fans, vaulted ceilings and outdoor-rated fans take extra care. We have installed large 72 inch fans, and bracing matters more as size and weight go up.

What we do

• Installation of customer-supplied or new fans
• Fan-rated boxes and secure mounting
• New wiring and switches where none exist
• Large fan installs, such as 72 inch models

Frequently asked questions

How much does ceiling fan installation cost?

Installs typically start at $200 per fan for ceilings 8 to 10 feet high when wiring already exists. Taller or vaulted ceilings, new wiring or bracing add to that, and we quote those after a look.

Can you install a fan where there is only a light?

Usually yes. We swap in a fan-rated box and adjust the wiring as needed.

Can you install a large fan?

Yes. We have installed large fans, and bracing matters more as size and weight go up.

Why does my fan wobble?

Loose blades, an unbalanced blade or a box that is not firmly supported. We fix the cause rather than just tightening screws.

Do you install outdoor and porch fans?

Yes, using fans rated for damp or wet locations and properly weatherproofed wiring.
