Ceiling Fan Installation and Wiring in Portola Valley, CA
A ceiling fan cuts cooling costs in summer and pushes warm air down in winter, but only if it's mounted on a box that can carry the weight and wired to controls that make sense. Our ceiling fan installation in Portola Valley includes the bracing, wiring, assembly and balancing.

Homes around Portola Valley span more than a century of building, from pre-war houses with knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services to 1960s ranch homes and new all-electric construction. That mix means the same street can need a simple outlet repair at one address and a full service upgrade at the next.
Our ceiling fan installation service also covers nearby Stanford, Los Altos, Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Redwood City.
Ceiling Fan Installation pricing in Portola Valley, CA
Ceiling fan installation cost in Portola Valley depends on whether a fan-rated box and wiring already exist, the ceiling height and the fan itself. Replacing a fan on a proper box is the quickest job. Adding a fan where there is no fixture, or separating fan and light onto two switches, takes more wiring. Multi-fan visits bring the per-fan price down.

Ceiling Fan Installation questions from Portola Valley customers
Do you assemble the fan?
Yes. Buy the fan you like or ask us for a recommendation, and we'll assemble, hang, wire and balance it.
What size fan do I need?
As a guide: 42 to 48 inches for small bedrooms, 52 inches for most rooms and 60 inches or more for large living areas. Ceiling height sets the downrod length.
Can the fan and light be on separate switches?
If there is a spare conductor in the wall, it is simple. If not, we can pull one or install a remote or smart control. See switch installation and lighting installation.
Can you install a fan where there's only a light?
Yes. The usual upgrade is swapping the light's box for a fan-rated box or brace that can carry the weight and movement. The existing wiring can often be reused.
In customers' words
Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
After two long outages we had a standby generator put in. They sized it properly instead of pushing the biggest unit, and showed us how the transfer switch works.
I called about one dead bathroom outlet. The electrician found a failed GFCI upstream, replaced it, tested every outlet on the circuit and was gone in under an hour.
