Ceiling Fan Installation

Perth's Ceiling Fan Installation Experts

A good ceiling fan keeps air moving through a room and takes the load off your split system on hot summer days. Our electricians fit new fans, upgrade tired old units and bring wobbling or noisy fans back to smooth, steady running.

Whether you want a fan with a light kit, remote control or a unit rated for an outdoor alfresco, we mount it securely, balance the blades and wire the controls so it works from the first switch on.

Cool, Comfortable Rooms

The right ceiling fan keeps a room comfortable through summer and pushes warm air back down in winter, which cuts how hard your other appliances have to work and trims running costs. Old fans often start to wobble, rattle or hum as bearings wear and blades fall out of balance, and that noise usually means the unit is on its way out.

If a room has no existing fan point, we can run the wiring and add a switch or remote so you get proper airflow exactly where you want it, mounted safely and finished neatly.

We supply, install and repair ceiling fans across Perth:

Supply and Installation of New Fans

Picking the wrong fan for a room is easy, so we help you choose a unit that suits the ceiling height, blade span and the look you are after, whether you want an energy efficient DC fan or a simpler AC model, then supply and fit it. Our electricians bracket the fan to a solid fixing point, balance the blades and wire the motor, light kit and controls to code. We test the speeds, reverse function and remote or wall switch before we pack up, so the fan runs smooth from the first switch on.

You get a clean install with no exposed cabling and a tidy finish at the ceiling rose. If you already have a fan in mind, we install your supplied unit just as happily.

Replacing Old Ceiling Fans

Swapping out an old fan is one of the quickest upgrades in the house. We remove the tired unit, check the existing wiring and mounting bracket, and fit your new fan in its place. Older brackets are often not rated for modern fans, so if the fixing is loose or the timber has moved, we install a proper fan-rated mount before hanging the new motor.

We match the new controls to your existing switch or set up a remote if you prefer, then balance and test everything. Most straight replacements are done in well under an hour, with the old fan taken away for recycling if you want.

Wiring New Fan Points

No fan point in the ceiling is no problem. Our electricians run new cabling from a suitable circuit, cut in a mounting point and install a switch on the wall or set up a remote receiver above the fan. Where the ceiling space allows easy access we keep the work neat and the patching minimal, and we always check the circuit can carry the extra load before we add the point. In an apartment or unit with a concrete ceiling we use the right fixings and surface conduit where needed, so the fan mounts securely without cutting into the slab.

This is a job that must be done by a licensed Perth electrician, so the wiring sits behind the plaster safely and passes inspection. Once the point is live we hang, balance and test your new fan the same day where possible.

Fixing Wobbling or Noisy Fans

A wobbling or noisy fan is annoying and can point to a bigger fault. Most wobble comes from unbalanced blades, a loose mounting or a downrod that has worked its way out of true, while grinding and humming usually trace back to worn bearings or a failing capacitor. We track down the real cause instead of guessing, then rebalance the blades, tighten or replace the mount and swap out any worn parts.

If the motor itself has had its day, we tell you straight and talk through replacing the unit rather than throwing money at a repair. Either way you finish with a fan that spins smooth and stays silent.

Choosing the Right Ceiling Fan

Fan size matters more than most people think. As a rough guide a small bedroom suits a blade span around 1200mm, an average living area wants 1300 to 1400mm, and a large open plan room may need a bigger sweep or a second fan to move air evenly. Rooms with low ceilings under about 2.4 metres suit a low profile or hugger fan that mounts close to the plaster while keeping the blades at least 2.1 metres above the floor.

Decide early whether you prefer a wall switch, a remote or a smart control you run from your phone, since it changes the wiring, and choose an outdoor rated fan for any patio or alfresco. Most fans reverse direction with a switch on the motor or the remote, so you run the blades one way in summer to push a cooling breeze down and the other way on low in winter to spread warm air without a draught.

DC and AC Ceiling Fans Explained

Ceiling fans run on one of two motor types, and the choice shapes running cost and how you control the fan. DC fans draw up to 70 percent less power than an older AC motor, start and stop faster, offer more speeds and almost always come with a remote, and they usually sit slimmer under the ceiling. AC fans cost less to buy, run on a standard wall switch and handle everyday cooling without fuss.

We talk through both before you buy so the fan matches the room and how often you will run it. A DC fan pays back its higher price fastest in a living area that runs most of the day, while an AC fan makes sense in a spare room used now and then. Whichever you pick, our licensed Perth electricians wire the motor, light and controls to code and test every speed and the reverse function before we leave.

Ceiling Fans for High and Raked Ceilings

High and raked ceilings need more than a standard fan and a stepladder. On a tall flat ceiling the fan has to hang lower to move air where people actually sit, so we fit an extended downrod sized to bring the blades to the right height while keeping safe clearance to the floor. Get the drop wrong and the fan either stirs air up near the ceiling or hangs low enough to be a hazard.

Raked or sloped ceilings add another factor, because the fan must sit level even though the ceiling is on an angle. We use a canopy and downrod combination rated for the pitch, so the motor hangs true and the blades clear the slope on every turn. Our electricians carry the gear to work at height safely and advise on the right downrod length and fan style before you order anything.

Outdoor and Alfresco Ceiling Fans

An outdoor rated fan turns a hot patio or alfresco into a usable space through the worst of a Perth summer. Standard indoor fans are not built for the job, since damp air, humidity and salt off the coast quickly corrode the motor and rust the blades. We install fans rated for outdoor or damp locations, with sealed motors and blades made from treated timber, ABS or stainless steel, plus marine grade units for coastal homes exposed to salt air.

Placement matters outdoors as much as the fan itself. We look at the pitch of the patio roof, the mounting structure and the reach of power before we quote, so the fan clears the beams and moves air across the whole seating area. Where there is no power at the alfresco, our electricians run a new weatherproof point and add a switch or remote. Done right, an alfresco fan keeps guests cool at the table on still evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions : Ceiling Fan Installation Perth

How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan in Perth?
Cost depends on whether you have an existing fan point, the ceiling height and the type of fan you choose. A straight swap onto existing wiring is the cheapest, while running a new point, working on a high ceiling or fitting an alfresco unit takes longer. We quote upfront before we start, with no call out fee, so you know the full price first.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install a ceiling fan?
Yes. Ceiling fans connect to mains power, so the wiring must be done by a licensed electrician to be safe and to keep the manufacturer warranty valid. Our fully licensed and insured Perth electricians handle the whole job, from mounting the bracket to wiring the controls, and every install meets the wiring standard.
What is the difference between AC and DC ceiling fans?
AC fans use a traditional motor, cost less to buy and run on a standard wall switch with three speeds. DC fans use a newer motor that draws up to 70 percent less power, offers more speeds, starts and stops faster and usually comes with a remote. DC suits rooms you run all day, while AC handles occasional use well.
Which way should a ceiling fan spin in summer and winter?
In summer run the fan so it pushes air straight down, which creates a cooling breeze across the room. In winter switch the motor to reverse and run it on low, so it draws air up and pushes trapped warm air back down the walls without a draught. Most fans reverse with a switch on the motor or the remote.
Can I replace a ceiling light with a fan?
Yes. We convert an existing light point to a fan by checking the wiring and the ceiling fixing, then installing a fan-rated bracket that can take the weight and spin of the motor. You can keep a light by fitting a fan with a built in light kit, and we wire the fan and light to run separately.
What size ceiling fan do I need for my room?
As a rough guide, a small bedroom suits a blade span around 1200mm, an average living area wants 1300 to 1400mm, and a large open plan space may need a bigger sweep or a second fan. We check the room size and ceiling height on site and recommend a fan that moves air evenly across the space.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there is no existing point?
Yes. Our licensed Perth electricians run new cabling from a suitable circuit, install a fan-rated mounting bracket and add a wall switch or remote receiver. We check roof access and confirm the circuit can carry the extra load first, then hang, balance and test the fan, usually in a single visit.
How long does ceiling fan installation take?
A simple replacement or an install onto an existing point often takes one to two hours. Wiring a brand new point, working on a high or raked ceiling, or fitting an outdoor unit takes longer. We give you a clear time frame when we quote so you can plan the day around the visit.
Why is my ceiling fan wobbling or noisy?
Wobble usually comes from unbalanced blades, a loose mount or a bent downrod, while grinding or humming points to worn bearings or a failing capacitor. We find the real cause, rebalance the blades, tighten or replace the mount and swap any worn parts, rather than guessing and hoping the noise settles.
Can you install outdoor or alfresco ceiling fans?
Yes. We install fans rated for outdoor or damp locations, with sealed motors and weather resistant blades that suit patios and alfrescos, plus marine grade units for coastal homes exposed to salt air. Where there is no power at the spot, we run a new weatherproof point and add a switch or remote.
