Ceiling Fan Installation and Replacement in Mikado
A fan weighs far more than a light and it moves. That is why ceiling fan installation in Mikado should start with a fan-rated box anchored to framing. We mount it solidly, wire it correctly and balance it so it runs quietly.

Ceiling fan installation in Mikado: local conditions matter
Northern Michigan gets its power from Consumers Energy, from cooperatives such as Great Lakes Energy, Cherryland Electric and Presque Isle Electric and Gas, and from a few municipal utilities. Whichever one serves your address in Mikado, we start ceiling fan installation in Alcona County the same way, with a look at the service, the panel and how the property is actually used through the seasons.
Replacing a light with a ceiling fan
The most common request we get in Mikado is to put a fan where a light fixture hangs now. The wiring is usually already there, but the box almost never is rated for a fan. We replace it with a braced, fan-rated box, often without any drywall repair, then hang the fan. If you want the light and fan on separate switches, we can add the extra conductor or install a control that does it over the existing wires.
