Ceiling Fan Installation in Los Angeles
When the Los Angeles heat hits and the air feels heavy and still, an old, rattling ceiling fan isn’t just annoying – it’s wasting energy and can actually be unsafe. At farashi electric, we handle every step of Ceiling Fan Installation in Los Angeles for you: secure mounting, proper wiring, smooth, quiet operation, and a clean space when we’re done.
Why Professional Ceiling Fan Services in Los Angeles Matter
From the ground, a ceiling fan looks simple: a few blades, a light, maybe a remote. But behind those blades there’s real electrical and structural work going on.
For a safe installation:
- The fan needs a fan-rated box, not just a basic plastic light box.
- The wiring has to be the right size and properly protected.
- Every connection must be tight so you don’t get overheating, arcing, or a burned-out motor.
In Los Angeles, a lot of homes still have older wiring, DIY “fixes,” or creative shortcuts hiding in the ceiling. That’s why we regularly get called for issues like:
- Fans that shake or wobble as soon as you turn them up past low.
- Switches that feel warm or make a faint buzzing sound.
- Breakers that trip when you run the fan and light at the same time.
- Remote kits crammed into tiny boxes, with wires overheated and jammed in.
Our licensed residential electrician team treats every fan job as a serious electrical repair in Los Angeles. Before we hang your new fan, we inspect the circuit, the box, the support, and the wiring so you’re not just getting a new fan – you’re getting a safer setup overall.

We offer complete Ceiling Fan Services in Los Angeles designed for real homes and real buildings, not just “ideal” situations in a manual.
Ceiling Fan Wiring & Installation
Already bought a fan from the store or online? Still deciding what to get? Either way, we’ve got you covered with full Ceiling Fan Wiring & Installation, including:
- Installing a fan where you currently only have a light fixture.
- Swapping out noisy, outdated, or unbalanced fans.
- Setting up fans with integrated LED lights or separate light kits.
- Installing smart, Wi-Fi, and remote-controlled ceiling fans.
When needed, we upgrade to a fan-rated box, correct any wiring issues, and make sure the circuit can safely support the new fan.
Fans for High, Vaulted, and Outdoor Ceilings
Los Angeles homes and properties love high ceilings, exposed beams, and outdoor living spaces. Those areas look great, but they need special attention for ceiling fans:
- Choosing the right downrod length so blades are at a safe height and airflow is actually effective.
- Using angled-ceiling mounts on vaulted or cathedral ceilings.
- Installing damp- or wet-rated fans for patios, porches, and covered outdoor areas.
This is often the perfect time to combine fan work with Electrical rewiring or a small Breaker Repair. Since we’re already in your ceiling, we can adjust or extend circuits the right way, rather than patching around old problems.
Switches, Dimmers, and Controls
If you want more control than a pull chain, we can set up an easy-to-use control layout that works for everyone in the house:
- Wall controls paired with remotes.
- Converting pull-chain-only fans to wall switches.
- Dimmer Switch Installation & Repair for compatible fan lights.
- Adding or moving switches as part of a larger Electrical Outlet Repair & Replacement or wiring upgrade.
Our goal is to keep it simple: one intuitive way to control your fan and light, not three remotes and four switches you have to “remember the trick” for.
Who We Work With: Homeowners, Businesses & Property Managers
Ceiling fan work fits naturally into everything else we do at farashi electric.
- Homeowners call us when they want a trustworthy residential electrician who can handle the fan and any hidden surprises we find in the ceiling or panel.

How Our Process Works (Step by Step)
We want you to know exactly what happens from the moment you reach out.
- Phone or online consult
You tell us about the room, ceiling height, and the type of fan you have (or want). We give you a clear estimate and point out anything that might increase the cost, so you’re not surprised later. - On-site safety check
When we arrive, we inspect the existing box, wiring, and breaker. If something isn’t fan-rated or doesn’t meet code, we show you the issue in simple terms and explain your options. - Professional installation
We install your fan with:- Solid, fan-rated support.
- Proper wiring and grounding.
- Blade balancing and a quiet-operation check.
- The correct rotation for the season (counter-clockwise in summer, clockwise in winter).
- Clean-up and walkthrough
We take away packaging, sweep or vacuum our work area, and then walk you through the controls, how to change directions, and what small signs to watch for over time.
Case Study: From Wobbly Bedroom Fan to Whole-Home Comfort
Not long ago, a family in West LA called us about a bedroom fan that shook so hard at night they were afraid it might actually fall. You could hear the rattle from the hallway, and the owner said it kept them awake more than the heat did.
When we opened the ceiling, we found older wiring and a plastic light box held with drywall anchors – definitely not built for a spinning fan.
Here’s what we did:
- Installed a proper fan-rated support bracket tied into the framing.
- Fixed overloaded wiring on the circuit and took care of a minor panel issue with a quick Breaker Repair.
- Put in two new, energy-efficient fans – one in the bedroom, one in the living room.
- Added a simple wall control and remote their elderly parents could use without fiddling with small buttons.
The result? Strong, smooth airflow, zero wobble, quieter nights, and less reliance on the AC. They were so happy with the change that they later brought us back for Electrical rewiring in another part of the home and Electrical Outlet Repair & Replacement in their kitchen. One good ceiling fan job turned into a long-term relationship – and a much safer electrical system.
What Does Ceiling Fan Installation Cost in Los Angeles?
Costs always depend on the details – ceiling height, wiring condition, fan type – but here’s what we usually see in LA:
- Basic replacement (fan-for-fan, wiring OK, standard ceiling): Often around $150–$350 per fan.
- New fan (no existing box/wiring), tall or vaulted ceilings, or multiple fans: This typically costs more, especially if we need to run new wiring or perform Electrical rewiring on the circuit.
Before we start, you’ll get a clear, written estimate. No open-ended “we’ll see when we get there” or surprise add-ons at the end.

FAQ – Ceiling Fan Installation
Yes, absolutely. We do this all the time in LA homes. Typically, we:
- Remove the old light and box.
- Install a proper fan-rated box.
- Confirm the circuit can handle the new fan.
- Install, test, and balance the fan so it runs smoothly.
If the wiring or box isn’t safe, we’ll show you exactly why and explain the fix before we move forward.
For a straightforward replacement on a normal-height ceiling with good wiring, most installs take about 1–2 hours per fan.
It can take longer if the ceiling is high, we have to run new wiring, or we uncover issues like loose connections or undersized boxes. But we’ll tell you what we find and what it means for the timeline.
Most of our clients choose their own fan – style, color, brand – and we provide the professional Ceiling Fan Services in Los Angeles to install it safely.
If you’re stuck between a few options, we can give you simple guidelines on fan size, downrod length, and features that match your room, ceiling height, and budget.
We get it – there are a lot of “easy install” videos online. A basic fan swap can look straightforward, but the real danger isn’t usually the fan itself. It’s the support and wiring:
- Light-duty boxes that can crack or pull away over time.
- Loose or overloaded connections that overheat and damage the fan or wiring.
- Incorrect grounding or neutral connections that lead to shocks or tripping breakers.
We’re regularly called in to fix DIY installs hanging off flimsy boxes or even screwed into drywall. Having a licensed residential electrician do it means you get peace of mind and a safer home.
