Our Ceiling Fan Installation work in San Mateo

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 San Mateo includes the bracing, wiring, assembly and balancing.

Homes around San Mateo 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.

What affects ceiling fan installation pricing in San Mateo

Ceiling fan installation cost in San Mateo 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 San Mateo 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.

What customers say

Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
