Ceiling fan installation
Ceiling Fan Installation
A ceiling fan is a cost effective, energy efficient way to keep a room comfortable. Our licensed electricians install new fans, replace old ones, and handle repairs and servicing across Brisbane and Logan.
New installs & replacements
New Ceiling Fan Installation & Replacement
Whether you're after a brand new ceiling fan installation, replacing an old and inefficient model, or you're not sure which is the better option for your home, our licensed electricians can guide you through it. We handle everything from securely mounting a new fan to wiring a ceiling fan and light combo.
If your existing fan is outdated, noisy, or would cost more to repair than replace, a straightforward ceiling fan replacement is often the more sensible option. We'll remove the old unit, dispose of it appropriately, and install your new fan so it's safely wired and securely mounted — helping you upgrade your home's cooling and style at the same time.
Lights & controls
Fans With Lights, Wall & Remote Controls
A lot of homes combine cooling and lighting into one fitting, and we regularly install ceiling fan and light combo units as well as wiring a separate light fixture alongside a new fan. If you're adding a light to an existing fan or starting from scratch, we can wire it the way you want it switched.
Ceiling fans can also be controlled a few different ways — a standard wall switch, a wall-mounted speed controller, or a handheld remote control that lets you adjust fan speed and lighting from wherever you are in the room. We'll talk you through which control option suits your fan and how you use the space.
Indoor & outdoor
Indoor & Outdoor Ceiling Fans
Most of our ceiling fan installations are indoors, cooling living areas, bedrooms and open-plan spaces. But a properly rated outdoor ceiling fan is also a great way to make more of a patio, deck or alfresco area — outdoor fans are designed to handle outdoor conditions and bring a welcome breeze to those spaces.
Indoor and outdoor fans aren't interchangeable — an outdoor or wet-area location needs a fan that's actually rated for it. Let us know where you'd like a fan installed and we'll help you choose a model that's suitable for that location.
Sizing it right
Fan Sizing & Room Size Considerations
Choosing the right ceiling fan isn't just about style — the size of the room, the height of the ceiling, and how many blades a fan has all affect how well it actually cools the space. A fan that's too small for a large or open-plan room won't move enough air, while an oversized fan in a small room can feel overwhelming.
High ceilings can also change what's needed — an extension pole may be required to bring the fan down to a height where it can move air effectively. Larger homes or open-plan living areas sometimes benefit from more than one fan for even airflow throughout the space. Our electricians can talk through room size, ceiling height and airflow needs before recommending a fan.
Mounting & electrical supply
Mounting, Ceiling & Electrical Supply Considerations
Every ceiling and every existing electrical circuit is different, so we don't assume an existing light point or fixing will automatically suit a new fan. Before we install anything, we'll check your ceiling structure and existing wiring can safely support the new fan, including its weight and the way it's braced or fixed.
We'll also confirm the electrical supply to that location is suitable — including the switching arrangement, whether a separate circuit or additional cabling is needed, and whether the existing wiring is appropriate for a fan (as opposed to a light-only fitting). Where something isn't suitable, we'll explain what needs to change before your new fan goes up.

After installation
Balancing, Testing & Commissioning
Once your new fan is mounted and wired, our electricians balance the blades so the fan runs smoothly without wobbling, and check that it's properly secured to the ceiling. We then test the fan, its light (if fitted) and its wall or remote control to confirm everything is switching and operating as it should before we consider the job finished.
We'll also make sure you know how to use any wall or remote controls before we leave, so you can start enjoying a cooler room straight away.
Repairs & servicing
Ceiling Fan Repairs, Servicing & Maintenance
Is your ceiling fan making strange noises, wobbling, or not working like it used to? Before you go straight to a replacement, our licensed electricians can find the issue and tackle a range of common problems to get your fan running smoothly and safely again — often saving you the cost of a full replacement.
Like any electrical appliance, a ceiling fan also benefits from regular servicing. Overlooked maintenance can lead to wobbling, strange noises or reduced airflow over time. Our team can carry out routine checks, clean components, and confirm all electrical connections are secure, helping extend the lifespan of your fan and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Common questions
Ceiling Fan FAQs
How do I choose the right size ceiling fan?
The right fan size depends on the size of the room and the height of your ceiling. Larger rooms generally need a fan with a wider blade span to move air effectively, while high ceilings may need an extension rod to bring the fan down to a more effective height. Our electricians can talk you through the right size and style for each room when we visit.
Can I install a ceiling fan outdoors?
Yes — outdoor-rated ceiling fans are a great option for patios, decks and alfresco areas and are built to handle outdoor conditions. An outdoor fan needs to be rated for outdoor or wet-area use, so we'll help you choose a model that's suitable for your space.
Can I add a light to my ceiling fan?
Yes, many customers choose a ceiling fan and light combo unit, or ask us to wire a separate light fixture alongside a new fan. We can install the fan and light so they're wired and switched the way you want.
Should I choose a wall control or a remote control for my ceiling fan?
Both are available depending on the fan model. A wall switch is simple and always in the same place, while a remote control gives you speed and light control from anywhere in the room. We can talk you through the options that suit your fan and how you use the room.
How many ceiling fans do I need for good airflow?
It depends on the size and layout of the space — some larger or open-plan rooms benefit from more than one fan for even airflow. Our electricians can assess your space and recommend how many fans you need and where to position them.
Can I replace my old ceiling fan with a new one?
Yes — replacing an old or faulty ceiling fan is one of the most common jobs we do. We'll remove the old unit, check your ceiling and existing wiring can safely support the new fan, then install and test the replacement.
