Running a ceiling fan can make a room feel up to 4°F cooler, allowing you to raise your thermostat and reduce AC costs by up to 40% in summer. In winter, reverse the fan direction to push warm air down from the ceiling.

Our Ceiling Fan Installation Process

Safe, professional, and thorough — from electrical check to final test.

1

Assess the Box

We check the existing electrical box to confirm it's rated for a ceiling fan. If not, we install a fan-rated box before proceeding.

2

Turn Off Power

We shut off the circuit at the breaker and verify with a voltage tester — safety first on every job.

3

Mount & Wire

We assemble the fan, mount it to the brace or box, and connect the wiring following NEC guidelines.

4

Balance & Test

We balance the blades, test all speeds and the light kit, and verify the remote or wall switch works correctly.

5

Cleanup

We remove all packaging, clean up debris, and leave your room exactly as we found it — just with a new fan.

— Tom K., Edwardsville IL

Ceiling Fan Installation FAQs

Common questions from St. Louis and Metro East homeowners about ceiling fan installation.

Not necessarily. If you're replacing an existing ceiling fan or light fixture on an existing circuit with a fan-rated electrical box, a licensed handyman can handle the installation. If you need new wiring run from the panel, that requires a licensed electrician. We'll assess your situation and let you know upfront which applies.
Replacing an existing fan typically takes 45–90 minutes. A new installation where a fan-rated box already exists takes 1–2 hours. If we need to install a new fan-rated box or run new wiring, plan for 2–4 hours. We complete most ceiling fan installations in a single visit.
Replacing an existing ceiling fan runs $100–$200 for labor. New installations with existing wiring are $150–$350. If new wiring is needed, costs start at $300+. We provide a firm written estimate before starting any work — no surprise charges.
Yes, in most cases. We'll check whether the existing electrical box is fan-rated (most light fixture boxes are not). If it isn't, we install a fan-rated brace and box before mounting the fan. This adds about $50–$100 to the cost and 30–45 minutes to the job.
Yes. Wobbling is usually caused by unbalanced blades, loose blade brackets, or an improperly mounted fan. We diagnose the cause and fix it — often in under an hour. We can also balance blades using a balancing kit if the blades are slightly warped.
Yes. Vaulted ceilings require an angled mounting bracket, and high ceilings (9+ feet) need a downrod extension to keep the fan at the right height (7–9 feet from the floor). We carry the necessary hardware and can install ceiling fans on most ceiling types.
Yes — we install ceiling fans with remote controls, wall controls, and smart fans compatible with Alexa, Google Home, or SmartThings. We'll pair the remote or connect the smart fan to your home network as part of the installation.
We install ceiling fans from all major brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Minka-Aire, Progress Lighting, and Casablanca. We can also install fans you've already purchased or help you select a model that fits your room size and ceiling height.
