Frequently Asked Questions

• How much should it cost to have someone install a ceiling fan?

  At Daven Electric Corp., we get this question a lot. The cost to have a residential electrician install a ceiling fan can vary depending on several factors:

  • Whether it’s a new installation or a replacement
  • The condition of your existing wiring and ceiling box
  • Ceiling height and fan size
  • If a wall switch or remote control needs to be added

  On average, the price range is between $150 and $500 per fan. For more complex setups—like high ceilings or structural support installation—it can be a bit more.

  We always provide honest, upfront pricing. As a licensed residential electrical contractor, we ensure the work is safe and fully compliant with NYC codes. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific ceiling fan installation needs.

• Do ceiling fans need to be installed by an electrician?

  Yes—especially if safety and performance matter to you. A licensed residential electrician should always handle ceiling fan installations, particularly when new wiring or mounting hardware is involved.

  Here’s why:

  1. Proper wiring ensures the fan operates smoothly and safely.
  2. Ceiling support boxes must be rated for fan use—standard light boxes won’t cut it.
  3. A professional knows local codes and avoids common DIY mistakes.
  4. We test everything—balance, wiring, and secure mounting.

  At Daven Electric Corp., we’ve seen what can go wrong when fans are installed improperly. As a trusted residential electrical contractor, we protect your home from avoidable risks. Whether it’s a new install or a replacement, we make sure it’s done the right way.

• What is the number one concern when installing a ceiling fan?

  The top concern when installing a ceiling fan is safety—both during the install and after. At Daven Electric Corp., we always emphasize the importance of secure fan mounting and correct electrical wiring.

  Some major safety factors we focus on:

  • The ceiling box must be rated and braced to support the fan’s weight and movement.
  • All electrical connections must be tight and properly grounded.
  • The wiring must be in good condition and meet the current code.

  A residential electrician knows how to check all of these and more. As your go-to residential electrical contractor, we never skip steps. Improper installations can lead to wobbly fans, motor failure, or even electrical fires. We take every precaution to ensure a safe, solid setup.

• Can a homeowner install a ceiling fan?

  Technically, yes. But we don’t recommend it—especially when electrical wiring is involved. A residential electrician brings training, experience, and code knowledge that DIY setups often lack.

  Here’s why most homeowners call a residential electrical contractor like Daven Electric Corp.:

  • Installing a fan on a non-rated ceiling box is a common DIY mistake.
  • Incorrect wiring can damage the fan—or worse, create a fire hazard.
  • Balancing blades and securing mounts takes precision.

  If you’re replacing a fan with the same size and wiring already in place, it may seem easy. But even then, small mistakes can cause big problems. Want to save time and avoid risk? Hire a licensed residential electrician who can get it right the first time.

• How long does it take an electrician to install a ceiling fan?

  For a standard replacement, a professional residential electrician can typically complete the job in one to two hours. But a few factors can affect the timeline:

  • New installation (with no existing wiring) may take 2–4 hours.
  • High ceilings or angled ceilings may require extra time.
  • Adding a wall switch or remote control might extend the job slightly.

  As a seasoned residential electrical contractor, Daven Electric Corp. works efficiently while prioritizing safety. We always:

  • Inspect existing wiring and ceiling boxes
  • Mount the new fan securely with the right hardware
  • Test all fan functions (speed, lights, direction)
  • Perform final safety checks
