This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A fan is heavy and shakes as it turns, so the box it hangs from needs to be one rated for fans and held by a brace.
Putting a fan where a light fixture hung is the common case. Light fixture installation is the nearest job, but it has no motor and no brace, and a fan also needs a way to control its speed.
Adding a fan where the ceiling had no fixture also needs wire run to the spot and a new switch, so it may cost more than the range above.
What's usually included
- Checking that the ceiling box and brace are rated for a fan
- Assembling the fan and mounting it to the ceiling
- Connecting the fan, the light kit and the wall control
- Testing each speed and the light, and checking for wobble
What moves the price
- Fan, light or bare ceiling
- Replacing an existing fan is the simplest start. Swapping a light for a fan may need a new box, and a ceiling with nothing there needs new wire and a switch.
- Reaching above the ceiling
- Many fan braces slide in through the existing hole, but when that does not work, an attic above makes the job simpler than opening the finished ceiling.
- Controls and switch wiring
- A fan and light on separate switches may need an extra wire to the fan, which can mean opening a wall. A remote or a combined control may avoid that.
- Downrod and slope adapter
- A high ceiling may need a longer downrod, and a sloped ceiling may need an adapter so the fan hangs level. Both are parts that can change the quote.
- Fan model and assembly
- Some fans go together quickly, and others have heavy light kits or many small parts. More assembly adds time.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each electrician before you compare prices:
- Is the ceiling box rated for a fan, and if not, what will you change?
- Does the price cover bracing or a new box, or only hanging the fan?
- Will the fan and light work from a shared switch or separately, and does that mean new wire?
- If I supply the fan, what happens if a part is missing or the fan wobbles after it is installed?
- Do you take away the old fan or fixture?
