Ceiling Fan Installation
Quieter Rooms. Cooler Summers. Done Right.
Fan-rated boxes, independent switching, smart-fan pairing — every install is permitted-ready and balanced for vibration-free quiet.
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.

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.
