How Much Does Ceiling Fan Installation Cost?

For your San Diego home, ceiling fans are a perfect investment. A warm and cold times, ceiling fans save your room. Your fan runs counter-clockwise throughout the summer and it decreases the temperature of the inhabitants by one to two degrees. This would mean that it is easier to use the air conditioner less. And, of course, because you're cooling the fan rather than the air, it just needs to work while you're in the space. The fan would draw warm air from the roof down into the room during winter, changing the direction so that the blades rotate clockwise, again, producing saves on the energy bills. Changing the spin direction is a matter of pressing a lever. Ceiling fans are high in weight and demand that the ceiling be safely fitted with a unique junction box.

Cost of installing a ceiling fan


Ceiling fan installation in San Diego costs an average of $200. Electricians can bill from $30 and $70 per hour, anywhere. You can switch the thermostat up to save money without losing convenience with ceiling fans conveniently placed in rooms in your house where you spend a lot of time, or even covered outdoor areas. It's best to leave it up to the pros when it comes to installation that requires the experience of electrical wiring. Installers are paid about $200 on average, not considering discounts provided by certain service providers. In San Diego, based on preparation and experience, electrical contractors typically bill $30 to $70 an hour.


Expect the cost of the job to be higher if you mount a fan in an environment that does not have current electrical wiring. That's because, to run new wiring to power the fan, the electrician would have to cut through walls, floors and/or ceilings. Also for construction jobs that take advantage of existing wiring, using a professional often guarantees that the fan is correctly balanced, fixed to the ceiling joists and securely connected.


The expenses are greatly lowered for projects that use existing wiring. The estimated cost of ceiling fan installation in San Diego, in general, can also require installing a wall switch to turn the fan on and off. Any owners can opt to bypass the installation of the wall switch and, with a pull-chain, turn the fan on and off.
