All Types of Ceiling Fans Installed

Most ceiling fans can have a light, will be pretty quiet, have a multi-speed operation and have an easy remote control. All will have a “downrod” which is the metal pipe that the fan hangs from, the length of this download should be determined by the height of your ceiling. The size of the blades should be determined by the area of the room. Our expert electricians will ensure the correct installation of any fan.

FAQs

Can I install a ceiling fan myself?

Technically yes, but you will need to be good at DIY and confident about wiring. Many ceiling fans need extra support due to their weight so will need to be fixed into the ceiling correctly. Also, ceiling fans often need to be installed in the right location which can interfere with lighting. Plus, there are many types that work in slightly different ways and are designed for specific locations etc so it’s better to get a licensed electrician to install them

Are ceiling fans noisy?

No, modern ceiling fans are not noisy, though some are a bit more noisy than others. Older ceiling fans that haven’t been maintained or are worn or have become unbalanced can be noisy, but these can often be repaired

Can ceiling fans be repaired?

Sometimes. Depending on what the issue is we can sometimes repair them. Old-style manual switches, alignment or poor wiring can often be repaired quite easily. Otherwise, modern replacements are often very inexpensive and also more energy efficient but we will advise what's best when we have inspected them
