A thoughtful installation
More than a fixture swap.
A ceiling fan needs the right support and electrical connection. We assess what is already there and what your chosen fan requires.
Add a fan to a room
A new location may need wiring, fan-rated support and a new control. We assess access and the proposed position before defining the work.
Light & fan controls
Discuss separate wall controls, a manufacturer remote or compatible smart controls so everyday operation makes sense.
Find the right fit
Ceiling height, room dimensions, ceiling slope and the fan manufacturer's mounting requirements all matter to a good installation.
Worth talking through
Before you choose the fan.
A photo of the room and a product link are useful starting points. We can help identify installation questions before you order.
Tell us about your homeRoom & ceiling
Consider the scale of the room and whether the ceiling is low, vaulted or sloped. The correct mounting arrangement depends on the model and setting.
Indoor or covered outdoor?
A fan must be suitable for its environment. A covered patio can need a different product rating than a living room.
How you want to control it
Decide whether you want a wall switch, a remote, integrated lighting or separate light and speed control.

Can a fan replace an existing ceiling light?
Sometimes, but a light's electrical box may not be rated to support a fan. The mounting support and wiring must be assessed before making the change.
Can you install a fan on a sloped ceiling?
Many fans support sloped ceilings with the correct manufacturer-approved mounting components. Share the model and ceiling details so we can review compatibility.
Can I supply my own fan?
Share the product information when booking. We can review the intended location and installation requirements before the appointment.
Will a ceiling fan cool the room like an air conditioner?
A ceiling fan moves air to help people feel more comfortable; it does not provide refrigeration. It can complement air conditioning when used appropriately.
