Ceiling Fan Installation and Wiring in Truckee, 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 Truckee includes the bracing, wiring, assembly and balancing.

Ceiling Fan Installation cost in Truckee

Ceiling fan installation cost in Truckee 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.

Truckee ceiling fan installation FAQs

Can you install a fan where there's no fixture at all?

Yes. We run a new cable from a switch location, install a rated box and add wall control. Attic access makes it easier but is not required.

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.
