Ceiling fan installation questions from El Cerrito customers

Can a fan go where a light fixture is now?

Yes, but the electrical box almost always has to be replaced with one rated to support a fan. We do that as part of the installation.

How long does ceiling fan installation take?

Replacing an existing fan takes about an hour or two. A new location with new wiring takes longer, depending on attic access.

Yes. We assemble, hang, wire and balance fans you have purchased, or we can supply one.
