Why Have a Pro Install or Replace Your Ceiling Fan?

Ceiling fan installations can look simple, but behind the drywall, it’s a different story. A DIY job might miss key safety details like:

  • Proper fan-rated electrical boxes
  • Secure mounting to framing (not just drywall)
  • Correct switch or remote control wiring
  • Balancing fan blades for quiet, smooth operation
  • Ensuring code-compliant grounding and wire connections


We’ve fixed too many jobs where fans were loose, wired unsafely, or just didn’t work as intended. Don’t risk damaging your ceiling or your new fan. We’ll do it right the first time.

Common Questions About Ceiling Fan Installation & Replacement

Q. What Types of Ceiling Fans Can You Install?

ANSWER: BTE Electric installs all residential ceiling fan types, including:

  • Standard fans with light kits – Great for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens
  • Remote-controlled fans – Perfect for high ceilings or modern spaces
  • Wall-switch fans – Allows independent fan and light control
  • Outdoor-rated fans – For covered porches, patios, and sunrooms
  • Smart fans – Compatible with apps or home automation systems
  • Flush-mount (hugger) fans – Designed for rooms with low ceilings

We can install a fan you’ve already purchased or help recommend the right size and type for your space.

ANSWER: Ceiling Fan Installation & Replacement – Cost Overview:

  • Replacing an existing fan or light: Starts at $175–$275 (assuming wiring and support are up to code)
  • Installing a fan where there is no existing box: Usually ranges $325–$550, depending on wiring access and ceiling height
  • Ceiling height above 10 ft or angled/sloped ceiling? May add $50–$150, depending on conditions and mounting needs
  • Adding a wall switch or remote setup? We can add switching for $85–$200 depending on wall access and panel location


Let us know if you already have a fan, or if you’d like us to provide one. We’re happy to quote both scenarios.

ANSWER: That depends on what’s currently in your ceiling. If you’re replacing a light fixture with a fan, we’ll evaluate:

  • Whether your current box is fan-rated (most aren’t)
  • If there’s a ground wire present (required by code)
  • Whether separate switches are needed for fan and light
  • If additional bracing or framing support is needed


We’ll let you know upfront what’s needed, how long it will take, and what it will cost, no surprises.

ANSWER: Yes. We can run wiring, install a new fan-rated box, and add a switch or remote setup that works for your space.

ANSWER: No problem, we install fans on sloped ceilings and use downrods for vaulted areas. We’ll choose hardware that’s built for your layout.

ANSWER: Absolutely. We’ll wire dual switches or set up remote/smart control so you’re not stuck with a single pull chain.

ANSWER: If your old fan wobbled, hummed, or didn’t move much air, it may not have been properly installed. We’ll make sure your new fan is balanced, secure, and code-compliant.

ANSWER: Every ceiling fan job includes:

  • Removal of old light or fan (if needed)
  • Installation of a fan-rated ceiling box (if required)
  • Secure mounting to framing or support brace
  • Correct electrical wiring for fan/light/switch
  • Balancing of fan blades
  • Testing and cleanup
  • Optional: wiring for wall switches, remotes, or smart control


We install both customer-supplied fans and new fans we source, just let us know what you’re working with.
