Can you install a fan with a remote control?

Yes. Remote controls, wall controls, and smart fans that work with a phone app are all fine. We wire the controls so that they work the way you expect.

Ceiling Fan Installation in NJ

A ceiling fan is an inexpensive way to make a bedroom or porch comfortable, but the installation is real electrical work. The box in the ceiling has to be rated for a fan, the wiring has to support the fan, the light kit, and their controls, and if there is no fixture there now, a new circuit or switch leg has to be run.

Trapani Electric installs and replaces ceiling fans throughout Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties. We replace old fans, change light fixtures over to fans, install fans in rooms with no overhead wiring, and set up remote and wall controls.

What a Proper Ceiling Fan Installation Includes

A proper installation includes the following:

A fan-rated ceiling box that can carry the weight and the vibration
Correct wiring for the fan, the light kit, and separate controls
A new box and new wiring when a plain light fixture is being replaced
New runs to rooms that have never had an overhead fixture
Balancing so that the fan does not wobble or click
Grounding, and a permit where the town requires one

Fans hung from a standard light box are a common finding on home inspections. It is an easy item to correct before that happens.

FAQs

Common Questions

Can you install a ceiling fan where there's only a light fixture?

Yes. We replace the light box with a fan-rated box and hang the fan in its place. Most bedrooms and living rooms are set up this way.

What does ceiling fan installation cost?

A straight swap onto an existing fan-rated box is the quickest job, and a new box or new wiring takes longer. Tell us which rooms are involved and what is there now, and we will provide a written price.

Can you install a fan where there's no existing fixture?

Yes. We run new wiring and install a fan-rated box in rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture. It takes longer than a swap, but it is routine work.

Do ceiling fans really save on energy costs?

They can. A fan lets you set the thermostat a few degrees higher in summer and feel the same, and reversing it in winter pushes warm air back down. The savings depend on how much you use it.
