However, a ceiling fan must be installed correctly to avoid electrical hazards, wobbling, noise, loose mounting, or damage to the home’s wiring. That’s why professional installation is essential.

Most standard ceiling fan installations take about 45–90 minutes, depending on the existing wiring, ceiling height, and whether a support brace needs to be added. Replacements are usually quicker. For new locations without wiring, the job may take longer.
If you already have a ceiling light in place, the wiring may be sufficient. However, many older homes lack proper support or grounded wiring. I inspect the wiring, ensure it meets code, and add new wiring or support brackets if needed.
Ceiling fan size depends on your room dimensions.
Small rooms (up to 75 sq. ft.) — 29″–36″ fan
Medium rooms (76–144 sq. ft.) — 36″–42″ fan
Large rooms (144–225 sq. ft.) — 44″–52″ fan
Extra-large rooms (225+ sq. ft.) — 52″+ with high airflow (CFM)
I can recommend the right fan based on your room, ceiling height, and design.
