Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a fan where there's only a light?
Yes — the existing pancake box almost certainly isn't rated for a fan's dynamic load. We replace it with a fan-rated brace box and confirm there's a hot conductor to control the fan separately from the light (or wire a remote).
How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Salem?
Most Salem-area fan replacements over an existing fan-rated box run $150–$275 installed. New installs that need a fan-rated box, a new switch leg, or vaulted-ceiling work run $275–$550.
Why does my ceiling fan wobble?
Most wobble is unbalanced blades, a loose downrod, or a non-fan-rated box flexing. We rebalance, retorque the downrod, and confirm the box is rated for fan motion loads.
Do you install smart fans?
Yes. We wire and configure smart fans from Lutron Caséta, Hunter, Hubspace, and Big Ass Fans — including pairing to your phone and grouping with smart-home scenes.
