Transparent Pricing & Clear Recommendations

How We Install Your Ceiling Fans

Step 1: Consultation & Site Review

We start by talking through your goals for comfort, airflow, and style in each room. During the visit, we:

• Inspect the existing fixture or junction box
• Check ceiling height, slope, and accessibility
• Review your electrical panel capacity when needed
• Confirm whether you want pull chains, wall controls, or smart features

If you haven’t purchased a fan yet, we can provide guidance on sizing and features that fit bedrooms, covered patios, and more in typical home layouts.

Step 2: Safety Assessment & Wiring Preparation

Before any fan goes up, we verify that the ceiling box is fan-rated and properly supported. If not, we install an approved brace box and update wiring connections. For new fan locations, we may:

• Run new wiring from an existing circuit or switch
• Add a new wall control or dual-function switch
• Label circuits at the panel for future reference

Step 3: Professional Mounting & Balancing

Once the structure and wiring are ready, we assemble and mount the fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. Our electricians:

• Secure the mounting bracket to the brace or joist
• Install downrods for vaulted or high ceilings
• Attach blades and hardware with the correct fasteners
• Balance the fan to reduce wobble and noise

This careful approach helps with smooth, quiet operation in bedrooms, living rooms, and other spaces where you need consistent comfort.

Step 4: Controls, Speed Settings & Smart Integration

We set up your preferred control method, which may include:

• Standard wall switches
• Fan/light combo controls
• Remote controls
• Smart switches and app-based controls (where compatible)

If you’re already using smart home devices in your property, we can help you choose control options that integrate with those platforms.

Step 5: Testing, Cleanup, & Walkthrough

Before we wrap up, we:

• Test all fan speeds and rotation directions
• Confirm light operation, if applicable
• Verify secure mounting and smooth operation
• Clean up work areas and remove old fixtures*

*Disposal options may vary depending on the type of existing fixture.

We finish with a brief walkthrough so you know how to change fan direction for summer or winter use and how to use your control system.

Ceiling Fan Services for Homes & Businesses

New Ceiling Fan Installation

Installing a fan where there is no existing ceiling fixture requires proper wiring and structural support. We add new boxes, switches, and wiring to create safe and reliable fan locations in living rooms, lofts, home offices, and more.

Fan Replacement & Upgrades

If your existing ceiling fan is noisy, wobbly, or outdated, we can replace it with a new model that offers quieter operation, better airflow, and modern controls, which is ideal for refreshing older homes across Santa Clara’s established neighborhoods.

High Ceilings, Vaulted Spaces, & Tall Entryways

Tall ceilings create unique challenges, from ladder access to proper downrod length. Our electricians are equipped to work at height safely and mount fans in entryways and open-concept living spaces.

Outdoor & Covered Patio Fans

For covered patios and outdoor living spaces, we install damp- or wet-rated fans, appropriate wiring methods, and weather-resistant boxes to help promote long-term performance in exterior environments.

FAQs About Ceiling Fan Installations

Do I need a licensed electrician to install a ceiling fan?

For basic replacements, it might be tempting to try DIY installation, but ceiling fans involve overhead loads and live electrical connections. A licensed electrician helps reduce the risk of loose mounting, wiring faults, or code violations, which is especially important in Santa Clara, where properties must follow current California electrical standards.

Can you install a ceiling fan where there is no existing light or fan?

Yes. In many cases, we can create a new fan location by running wiring from a nearby circuit and installing a fan-rated box with proper support. During your assessment, we’ll look at access above the ceiling, available circuits, and the best spot for a new switch.

How long does a typical ceiling fan installation take?

Most straightforward replacements take roughly one to two hours per fan once we’re on site. New locations, high ceilings, or complex wiring can extend that timeframe. We’ll provide an estimated schedule before work begins, so you know what to expect.

Can you install a fan on a vaulted or angled ceiling?

Yes, as long as the fan and mounting hardware are designed for sloped ceilings. We may recommend a specific downrod length to keep blades at the proper height and help achieve consistent airflow in rooms with vaulted ceilings.

Will you install a fan I’ve already purchased?

In most cases, we can install customer-supplied fans as long as they’re listed for use in the intended location (indoor vs. outdoor) and compatible with your ceiling type. If the fan is missing critical hardware or is not appropriate for the space, we’ll explain your options before proceeding.
