Bathroom faucet
“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.”

How long does it take to install a ceiling fan?

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.

How much does ceiling fan installation cost in San Diego?

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.

Can you replace a ceiling light with a fan?

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.

What types of ceiling fans do you install?

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.

How much does fixture installation cost in San Diego?

Switch Your Fixture charges a $159 service call that includes the first hour of labor. Additional labor is $159 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments of $39.75. Every service is billed at the same rate, so you can add up the time for your fixtures and multiply by the hourly rate to build your own estimate.

What happens if my fixture takes less than, or more than, an hour to install?

Our service call includes an hour of labor to install your fixture. If it takes less than an hour, we offer other services to fill the time, such as changing bulbs, swapping switch plates or hanging a picture. Additional labor is billed in 15-minute increments at our hourly rate.

What if the fixture I bought doesn’t fit?

If we arrive and your fixture doesn’t fit, we only charge a 15-minute consultation fee ($39.75). The consultation gives you the information you need to buy the correct fixture, and we rebook your install.

Can you install multiple fixtures on the same visit?

Yes, that’s what we do. Every fixture is billed at the same rate, so put your whole list in one request: a fan, a faucet, a TV and a doorbell can all go in on the same trip under one service call.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. We warranty all of our installations. If something we installed is not working the way it should, call or text (619) 677-8677 and we will come back and make it right.
