“Benny did a great job getting our ceiling fan and ceiling light installed! It was super quick and everything looks great.”
“Very easy to contact and make an appointment. The workers, Diego and Benny came on time, were courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. They replaced a bathroom faucet and gave trouble shooting advice on a ceiling fan including information on repairing the fan. The faucet looks beautiful! Diego was careful about the countertop and cleaned up immaculately after installation. I would definitely use the service again.”
Ceiling Fans FAQ
Straight answers about ceiling fan installation in San Diego.
Almost all fan replacements are done in about an hour. Converting a light to a fan, heavy designer fans and high ceilings can take up to two hours or more. Our estimator lists fans in the under-2-hours group so you can plan conservatively.
The $159 service call covers the first hour, which is enough for most fan swaps. If the install runs longer, additional time is $39.75 per 15 minutes. A fan that takes 1 hour 30 minutes, for example, is $159 + $79.50 = $238.50.
Yes. We remove the light, check that the ceiling box can carry a fan’s weight and motion, and mount and wire the new fan. If the box is not fan-rated, we explain the options before going further.
All styles and brands: standard and designer fans, fans with integrated lights or remotes, smart fans, flush-mount (hugger) and dual-mount models, and damp-rated outdoor fans for patios.
