What do fan installers do?

Even if you know how to install ceiling fan wiring, the installation must be done by a licensed electrician to avoid the danger of electrocution. If you're having more than one fan installed on the same day, each additional ceiling fan installation will usually cost less than the first.

Your electrician may also be able to help you install other types of fans around your home, such as an exhaust fan or outdoor fan, or other electrical fittings such as lighting.

Ceiling fan replacement

If you're replacing an older ceiling fan or your room already has a ceiling outlet, the electrician can complete a like-for-like ceiling fan installation. This usually takes less than an hour and involves removing the existing fan, assembling and installing the new fan and connecting the wiring. You should also your installer whether they will dispose of the old fan or if you need to do this yourself.

New connection

If you don't already have a ceiling fan and there is not a suitable connection in the ceiling, this will need to be set up before your ceiling fan can be installed. This takes longer and costs more than replacing an existing fan. The electrician will need to run wires through the walls and ceiling and to install wall switches.

Fan with lighting

The same ceiling outlet can power a light fitting and a fan if you want to save space in a smaller room or avoid clutter. Ceiling fan and light packages can be purchased together, or they may be installed separately by a qualified electrician.

Ceiling fan repair

If your ceiling fan isn't working properly or is making noises and you can't fix it yourself, hiring an electrician for ceiling fan repair will cost less than buying and installing a new fan – unless the fault can't be repaired and you need a replacement.

Fix Arlec ceiling Fan - not working

$130

Botany NSW 2019, Australia

12th Oct 2026

When using the remote to turn on our Arlec ceiling fan, the fan doesn’t start and beeps twice. At first when the issue started occurring, it would start and then stop again repeatedly but now it won’t start at all. When turning on the light it switches on completely fine, it’s just the fan that won’t turn on. I’ve done some investigating on google for answers and the most likely explanation that came up was this: “With Arlec ceiling fans, this combination of symptoms—where the unit beeps responsively to commands but the fan itself remains dead—is a classic, known behavior pointing to a faulty internal remote receiver module (specifically the controller unit tucked inside the top canopy) or a dead starting capacitor. The electronics are registering your command (the beep), but the switching circuit inside the receiver is broken and failing to pass that physical electric current down into the motor windings.” This is a possible fix google said: “Replace the Internal Remote Kit: An electrician can drop the top canopy and swap out the broken receiver block. Arlec sells replacement modules such as the Arlec Remote Control Ceiling Fan Kit or the Arlec Grid Connect Smart Kit at retailers like Bunnings Warehouse.” If this is the problem, I can buy the kit at Bunnings and we would just need it installed on the fan. If interested, please message me on here.

Looking for an electrician to install a brand-new Arlec ceiling fan in a room. I have already purchased the fan. It is an apartment. Top floor. Roof access can be with our building manager.

Job Details: • Fan Model: Arlec ceiling fan (No light, includes wireless remote control). • Wiring Needed: No wall switch wiring is required since it operates via remote.

Repair plasterboard around ceiling fan – 3.9m ceiling

$300

Rosebery NSW 2018, Australia

2nd Sep 2026

Looking for an experienced plasterer/gyprocker to complete a small repair in the ceiling around a recently installed ceiling fan in our master bedroom. As shown in the photo, there is a rectangular section of plasterboard around the ceiling fan which was cut to install a support beam for the fan. The job is to: * Patch/reinstate the plasterboard around the ceiling fan * Tape/set/plaster as required * Sand smooth and flush with the existing ceiling * Leave the repaired area ready for us to prime and paint ourselves * Protect the bedroom/flooring from dust and clean up afterwards Ceiling height is approximately 3.9 metres, so you’ll need to provide your own suitable high ladder/platform/access equipment. Please include all plastering materials and access equipment in your quote. No painting required. Looking for a neat, professional finish with the repaired area flush and ready for painting.

Peter was efficient and completed the task to a high standard.

I would like 2 x AC ceiling fans replaced in the bedrooms. I can order 2 x DC ceiling fans. I would like the existing wall switch to remain. I don’t want a remote. Let me also know if this DC fan is not compatible with the existing wall switch.

I highly recommend Talal. He arrived on time, was polite , friendly and did an excellent job. I appreciated him removing his shoes in the house and dismantling the old fans.
