Ceiling Fan Work We Handle

Replacing an Existing Fan

Straightforward when the existing box is fan-rated and the switching is already there. We check the box before touching the old fan. Ceiling fan installation includes a fan-rated box so the fan stays secure.

Fan Where Only a Light Was

A light box will not carry a fan. This means a fan-rated box and usually a brace between the joists, done from below where there is no attic access.

Outdoor and Covered-Porch Fans

Damp and wet-rated fans on weatherproof boxes and GFCI-protected circuits. Indoor fans fail quickly outdoors.

Fan Speed and Remote Controls

Wall controls, remotes and smart switches, wired so the fan and light behave separately instead of fighting over one switch leg.

“…I had an old fan replaced, and Spartan had the new one up and running in no time. They were communicative, the price was fair, and the fan works perfectly. …”

What Decides the Cost of Ceiling Fan Installation

A fan swap where the box is already rated and the wiring is in place is a short job. Adding a fan where none existed — new box, brace and switching — is a different price, and we tell you which one you have before we start. Most ceiling fan installation jobs take one to two hours.

Is the Box Fan-Rated

This decides everything. A standard light box is not rated for a moving load, and putting a fan on one is how ceilings end up with holes in them.

Attic Access or Not

With attic access above, adding a brace is quick. Without it, the brace goes in through the ceiling opening, which takes longer.

Ceiling Height and Slope

High and vaulted ceilings need downrods, sloped-ceiling adapters and more equipment on site.

Switching

One switch leg for both fan and light means either a remote, a smart control, or running a second wire. We explain the options rather than defaulting.

Indoor or Outdoor Rating

Covered porches need damp-rated fans; exposed locations need wet-rated. Using the wrong one is a warranty problem within a season.

Fan Controls We Install

We are a Lutron certified installer, and on the control side we use Lutron and Leviton. Fan brand is your call — we install what you buy.

Lutron — Fan speed controls and Caseta switching, so the fan and the light operate independently.
Leviton — Fan controls, smart switches and weatherproof exterior devices for outdoor installations.

How a Ceiling Fan Installation Runs

CHECK THE BOX FIRST

Before anything comes down, we confirm whether the existing box is fan-rated and screwed to structure. That determines the job.

BOX AND BRACE

Where needed, a fan-rated box goes in on a brace between joists, installed from above or below depending on access.

MOUNT AND WIRE

BALANCE AND TEST

We run it through every speed listening for wobble, and correct the balance before we pack up rather than leaving you to notice it at 2am.

Charles came today to install an additional outlet in our kitchen. He couldn’t have been more professional. Did a fantastic job. I’m so pleased. He even help us locate our missing newly adopted senior cat. She was upstairs in my closet. Don’t know what we would have done without him today. I can’t say enough about this company. I will always call them for future electrical needs. Best ever.❣️

Mariano took our call and helped us on a Sunday night during what we thought might be an emergency. Al and the team were at our home first thing the next morning to begin work. They were thorough in explaining everything and the work they did came out great. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outdoor outlet not working and I called late on a Sunday evening. Not only did they answer immediately, they stayed with me on the phone to troubleshoot and make sure there was no danger. They also scheduled a technician to come out first thing Monday. They arrived and did a diagnostic that showed I needed a new outlet installed. The guys did a great job, they were very nice and quick, and the price was great! Thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mariano came out to help us after we lost power. He answered very quickly and offered reassurance over the phone before he arrived. When he arrived he was extremely professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend this company for future service! In fact we plan to use them for some future projects around the house that we have been planning because our experience was so positive. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, quick, and compassionate electrician we would definitely recommend Mariano and the whole Spartan team!

Ceiling Fan Questions, Answered

Quick Answers

Can you put a ceiling fan where a light is now?

Yes, but not on the existing box. A light box is not rated for a moving load. We install a fan-rated box on a brace between the joists, which is the part that makes the installation safe.

How much does ceiling fan installation cost?

A swap where the box is already fan-rated and the wiring is in place is a short job on a standard service visit. Adding a fan where none existed costs more because of the box, brace and switching. We price it after seeing what is up there.

Why does my fan wobble?

Usually an unbalanced blade set or a box that is not solidly fixed to structure. Balancing kits fix the first. If the box moves, that is the real problem and it needs correcting.

Can I use an indoor fan on my covered porch?

No. Covered outdoor locations need a damp-rated fan and exposed ones need wet-rated. Indoor fans corrode and fail quickly outdoors, and it voids the warranty.

My fan and light are on one switch. Can they be separated?

Yes, three ways: a remote, a smart control, or running an additional wire to the switch. Which makes sense depends on access and what you want the wall to look like.

Do I need a permit for a ceiling fan?

Replacing a fan on an existing rated box generally does not require one. Adding new switching or a new circuit usually does. We tell you which applies before we start.

How do I install a ceiling fan?

If a fan is replacing a light, the box in the ceiling has to be rated to hold a fan, because a regular light box can pull loose from the weight and wobble. If there’s no fixture there now, or you want a separate wall switch for the fan and light, hire an electrician.

Which way should a ceiling fan turn in summer?

Counterclockwise, looking up at it. That pushes cool air down on you.

Which way should a ceiling fan turn in winter?

Clockwise on low speed. That gently pulls air up and pushes the warm air near the ceiling back down the walls.

What size ceiling fan do I need for a bedroom?

For a room up to about 12 by 12 feet, a 42 to 48 inch fan works well. Bigger bedrooms, up to about 18 by 18 feet, need a 50 to 54 inch fan. Leave at least 7 feet between the blades and the floor.

Get a Ceiling Fan Installed

Send a photo of the existing fixture and the ceiling and we can usually tell you whether it is a swap or a box job before scheduling.
