Common ceiling fan problems in Austin homes

- Fan won’t start or only one speed

- Broken pull chains or remote failures

What to expect from our electricians
We start with a quick safety check of the junction box, mounting hardware, and wiring. For new locations, we install a fan-rated box and run new cable to a wall switch, remote, or smart control. On vaulted or high ceilings, we use the correct downrod and secure bracing. For porches and patios, we select weather-rated fixtures and connections. Before we leave, we balance blades, verify direction and speed, and review controls. If you’re planning broader indoor lighting upgrades, we can coordinate layout and switching in the same visit.

Ceiling fan installation FAQs
Do I need a special electrical box for a ceiling fan?
Yes. Fans require a UL fan-rated box secured to framing. We’ll upgrade the box if needed to support the fan’s weight and movement.
Can you install a fan where there’s no existing wiring?
Absolutely. We run new cable, add a fan-rated box, and install a switch or smart control—minimal disruption, tidy finish.
What if my fan wobbles or hums?
We check mounting, box rating, blade pitch, and capacitors. Most wobble and noise issues are solved with balance, hardware, or component replacement.
Can you install on vaulted or high ceilings?
Yes. We select the correct downrod length, brace the box, and ensure proper blade clearance and airflow for tall or sloped ceilings.
How long does a typical installation take?
A straightforward replacement is usually completed in about an hour. New locations or tall ceilings take longer due to wiring and access.
Can you tie a fan into smart home controls?
Yes. We install compatible smart wall controls or receiver kits and confirm app or voice integration.
Do I ever need panel work for a fan?
Rarely, but if you’re adding multiple new loads or remodel circuits, we’ll assess capacity and discuss electrical panel upgrades when appropriate.
