Fan Services We Provide
New ceiling fan installation — Including locations with no existing fan or junction box. We run new dedicated wiring, install a fan-rated electrical box, mount the fan securely, and verify balanced operation at every speed.
Ceiling fan replacement — Swapping out an existing fan for a new one. We safely remove the old unit, verify the existing box is fan-rated (and replace it if it's not), and install your new fan with clean wiring and proper balancing.
Ceiling fan repair — Wobbling, grinding, humming, intermittent operation, light kit failures, pull-chain issues, remote control problems. We diagnose the actual mechanical or electrical cause and fix it.
Bathroom exhaust fan installation & replacement — Including proper CFM sizing for your bathroom's square footage, ductwork connections, exterior venting, and code-compliant electrical hookup. We don't vent bathroom exhaust into attics — that's a moisture and mold problem waiting to happen.
Attic fan motor replacement — If your attic fan stopped working but the housing and roof penetration are intact, we replace the motor and get it running again.
Gable-mount attic fan replacement — Wall-mounted attic ventilation fans installed in gable vents. Doesn't involve the roof, so we handle these directly without involving a roofer.
Whole-house fans — Large ceiling-mounted units that pull cool evening air through your home and exhaust hot air into the attic. Case-by-case based on attic space, ventilation, and the structure of your home.
Outdoor & wet-rated ceiling fans — Covered porch, three-season room, and patio installations using fans rated for damp or wet locations.
High-ceiling installations — Vaulted ceilings, two-story foyers, and any ceiling over 10 feet. Includes extension downrods, sloped-ceiling adapters, and the lifts we need to do it safely.

Attic Fan Housing Replacement? Call a Roofer, Not an Electrician
Here's something most electrical contractors won't tell you: if your attic fan housing needs to be replaced — not just the motor, but the actual unit that's mounted through your roof — that work belongs to a certified roofer, not an electrician.
Why? Because installing a new attic fan housing requires cutting into your roof and re-flashing around the new opening. Flashing is a roofing trade. Done wrong, it leaks. Done by someone who isn't insured as a roofer, you have no warranty and no recourse when a leak shows up six months later.
We're electricians. We replace motors on working attic fan housings. We replace gable-mount fans because those don't involve the roof. We install whole-house fans because those mount in your attic floor. But if you need a roof-mount attic fan housing replaced, run away from any electrician willing to do it. Call a licensed roofer who knows flashing. We can recommend one if you need help.
This is the kind of honesty most contractors avoid because it costs them a sale. We'd rather you trust us for the next 25 years than chase a job we shouldn't be doing.
Why Fan-Rated Boxes Matter
Most homeowners don't realize this until something goes wrong: a standard ceiling junction box can't safely support a ceiling fan. Standard boxes are rated for light fixtures only — typically 5 to 10 pounds — and they're attached to the ceiling in ways that can't handle the dynamic forces of a spinning fan.
A fan-rated box is specifically designed to support up to 70 pounds and to handle the vibration, torque, and motion of a fan running for years. If you install a ceiling fan on a non-fan-rated box, it will eventually loosen, sag, wobble, or — in worst cases — pull out of the ceiling entirely.
This is the most common reason DIY ceiling fan installations fail, and it's the most common ceiling fan issue we get called to fix. When we install or replace a fan, we always verify the box is fan-rated. If it's not, we install one that is.
Our Process
1. Free Quote We come out (or work from photos and measurements you share), look at the existing location, check whether there's a fan-rated box and what ceiling access looks like, and give you a written quote with no surprise add-ons.
2. Fan Selection Guidance If you haven't bought the fan yet, we'll help you choose one sized correctly for your room (blade span vs. room size), ceiling height (low-profile vs. standard mount vs. downrod), and use case (indoor, damp-rated, wet-rated). We install customer-supplied fans.
3. Professional Installation Licensed electrician on every job. Fan-rated box installed where needed. Clean wiring runs. Proper grounding. Secure mounting. Full balancing. Drop cloths down, debris cleaned up.
4. Testing & Walkthrough We test every speed, light function, remote, pull chain, and directional control. We walk you through operation, seasonal direction reversal, and basic maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ceiling Fan & Ventilation Installation
Why is my ceiling fan wobbling or making noise?
The most common causes are unbalanced blades, a loose mounting bracket, worn bearings, or — in many cases — a junction box that isn't fan-rated and is slowly loosening from the ceiling. We diagnose the specific cause rather than guessing, and we fix the underlying issue rather than just tightening a few screws.
Can I install a ceiling fan where there's no existing light fixture? Yes — this is one of the most common fan jobs we do. We run new wiring from a wall switch (or existing circuit), install a fan-rated electrical box securely fastened to the ceiling joists, and mount the fan. Most installations require a permit, which we pull and coordinate with your municipality.
Do I really need a fan-rated electrical box?
Yes. Standard ceiling boxes are rated for light fixtures (5–10 pounds), not the weight and motion of a ceiling fan (up to 70 pounds with dynamic forces from spinning). Installing a fan on a non-fan-rated box is the single most common cause of ceiling fan failure — and in worst cases, the fan can pull out of the ceiling entirely. We always verify and install fan-rated boxes when needed.
Do you install fans I buy myself?
Yes. Many homeowners buy their own fan from Home Depot, Lowe's, Wayfair, or specialty lighting stores. We're happy to install customer-supplied fans. We'll help you choose the right size and type if you haven't bought yet.
What size ceiling fan do I need for my room?
General rules of thumb: rooms up to 75 sq ft → 29–36" fan, 76–144 sq ft → 36–42" fan, 144–225 sq ft → 44–50" fan, 225–400 sq ft → 50–54" fan, larger than 400 sq ft → 54"+ fan or multiple fans. Ceiling height matters too — fans should hang at least 7 feet above the floor for safety, and at least 8 inches below the ceiling for proper airflow. We help you sort this out during the consultation.
Can you install ceiling fans on vaulted or high ceilings?
Yes. High-ceiling installations require an extension downrod (sometimes 24" or longer) or a sloped-ceiling adapter, plus a lift or scaffolding to install safely. We do these regularly in two-story foyers, vaulted living rooms, and great rooms. Pricing reflects the additional equipment and labor.
Why does ceiling access affect pricing?
Fan installations require running wiring through the ceiling, anchoring a fan-rated box to a joist, and connecting power. If we have easy attic access above the install location, the job is straightforward. If the ceiling is below a finished room or has limited access, we may need to fish wires through walls or open small access points in the ceiling. We always quote based on what we can actually see before starting.
My attic fan stopped working. Do I need a whole new fan?
Often, no. If the housing and roof penetration are intact, replacing just the motor (starting at $490) is significantly cheaper than replacing the entire unit. We diagnose whether it's the motor, thermostat, wiring, or housing — and recommend the most cost-effective fix.
Can you replace my roof-mounted attic fan housing?
No — and you should be cautious of any electrician who says yes. Replacing an attic fan housing means cutting into your roof and re-flashing the new opening. Flashing is roofing work, and it should be done by a licensed roofer who's insured for that trade. We replace motors on existing housings, gable-mount fans (no roof involvement), and install whole-house fans (attic floor mount). For roof housing replacement, we'll happily recommend a roofer.
What's a whole-house fan and is it worth it?
A whole-house fan is a large fan mounted in your attic floor that pulls cool evening or morning air through your open windows and exhausts hot air into your attic. In NJ's climate, they can dramatically reduce summer AC use — often running for just an hour at sunset to cool the entire house. They're a case-by-case install depending on your attic space, ventilation, and home layout, but for the right home, they're one of the best efficiency upgrades you can make.
Why is my bathroom exhaust fan not pulling moisture out?
Common causes are undersized CFM rating for your bathroom's square footage, clogged ductwork, ductwork that vents into the attic instead of outside, a failing motor, or improper duct sizing. We diagnose and fix all of these. For bathrooms over 100 sq ft, you typically need at least 1 CFM per square foot.
Are you licensed and insured for fan installations?
Yes. Spartan Home Pros is fully licensed and insured under NJ Electrical License #34EB001810700 and NJ HVAC License #19HC00702000. All electrical work follows New Jersey Electrical Subcode and NEC requirements.
