How Our Ceiling Fan Installation Process Works
We want the experience to feel simple for you, even if the wiring behind the ceiling isn’t. Here’s how a typical installation goes:
- You schedule a visit by phone or through our SCHEDULE YOUR SERVICE ONLINE option
- We show up on time and check the wiring, ceiling box, and mounting spot
- If there’s an old fan or light fixture, we remove it safely
- We upgrade to a proper fan-rated electrical box if needed
- We wire and mount the fan, balance the blades, and test every function
- Before leaving, we make sure everything works the way it should and answer any questions
We also use drop cloths and shoe covers so your home stays as clean as we found it. It’s a small thing, but homeowners tell us it matters.
Types of Ceiling Fan Installation Services We Offer
Homes across Circle City come in all shapes and sizes, so we offer a wide range of installation options to match.
New ceiling fan installation
Perfect for rooms that have never had a fan. We add wiring if needed and make sure the ceiling can safely support the weight.
Replacement fan installation
If you already have a fan or light fixture, we can remove it and replace it with your new fan, updating wiring and hardware as needed.
Fans with modern features
Today’s fans often come with remotes, dimming functions, or smart controls. We install and set up these features so you know exactly how to use them.
Indoor and outdoor ceiling fans
We install fans in bedrooms, living rooms, finished basements, porches, and covered patios. Outdoor fans require special ratings, and we help you choose the right type.
Ceiling fan upgrades
If you want new wall switches, dimmers, or speed controls, we’ll add or replace the wiring so everything works smoothly.
We’re also very experienced with vaulted ceiling fan installation Indy homeowners often need. Tall ceilings require special mounting hardware and the right downrod length to keep airflow comfortable.
How Much Does a Ceiling Fan Installation Cost in Indianapolis?
Costs vary from home to home. Replacing an old fan or light fixture is usually the easiest and most affordable type of installation. Installing a fan in a brand-new location usually costs more because it may require new wiring, support, or reinforcement.
A few factors influence overall pricing:
- Whether the ceiling already has a fan-rated box
- Ceiling height and complexity, including vaulted ceilings
- Fan features such as smart controls or integrated lighting
- Number of fans installed during one visit
No matter what your setup looks like, we provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins. We also offer flexible financing for larger projects.
DIY vs. Professionally Installed Ceiling Fan
Some homeowners try installing a fan themselves and quickly discover the wiring isn’t what they expected. Fans require a properly rated electrical box and mounting bracket to prevent wobbling, noise, or loose connections. A professionally installed fan gives you long-term stability, safe wiring, and quieter operation.
If a complication pops up during installation, we can also help with electrical installations, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical repairs while we’re already on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most installations take about an hour or two, depending on the room and whether an old fan needs removal. Fans on tall or vaulted ceilings may take a little longer.
If wiring needs to be modified or if the ceiling box isn’t rated for a fan, you’ll want an electrician for safety. Our licensed electricians make sure the fan is mounted securely and works the way it should.
You can try, but many homeowners run into wiring or support issues they didn’t expect. A professional installation ensures the fan hangs safely, stays balanced, and doesn’t damage the electrical system.
Most standard light fixtures are not designed to support the weight or movement of a fan. A fan needs a fan-rated electrical box, which we can install during your appointment.
