Ceiling fan installation in Dallas
Ceiling fans hung on rated boxes, with new circuits and wall controls where needed.
Short answer: A ceiling fan needs a fan-rated box, a secure brace and the correct downrod for your ceiling height. We install new fans, replace old ones, and add wiring where no fixture exists.
In a Texas summer ceiling fans run nearly nonstop, which shakes loose any fan mounted to a light-only box. We fit fan-rated braces, balance the blades and wire fans for separate light and fan control when the wiring allows.
For rooms with no ceiling fixture, we run a new switch leg from the attic and add a wall control.

Typical ceiling fan installation
New wiring where no fixture exists sits at the higher end.
Downrods and blade height
Fan blades should sit about seven to nine feet off the floor for comfort and safety. On an eight-foot ceiling, a flush or short-rod mount works. On ten-foot ceilings and up, a longer downrod brings the fan down to where it moves air. Sloped ceilings need an angled mount. We bring the right downrods for your room.
