Ceiling Fan Installation and Replacement in Palms
A fan weighs far more than a light and it moves. That is why ceiling fan installation in Palms 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 for Palms homes and businesses
Around Palms, many homes are older farmhouses and village houses that have been updated in stages. It is common to find a modern panel feeding some very old wiring. For ceiling fan installation in Sanilac County, our electricians sort out what can stay and what should be replaced.
Replacing a light with a ceiling fan
The most common request we get in Palms 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.

Pricing for ceiling fan installation in Palms
Ceiling fan installation cost in Palms depends on whether wiring and a rated box already exist, ceiling height and the fan itself. Replacing an existing fan is the simplest case.
