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.

Licensed electrician – 3 lights + 2 ceiling fans

$10

Waterloo NSW 2017, Australia

3rd Sep 2026

Hi, I’m looking for a licensed NSW electrician to complete several electrical installations in my apartment. I have not purchased the new fittings yet, as I would like the electrician to review the products/specifications and confirm compatibility with the existing installation before I place the order. I will also need to seek approval from the strata for the ceiling fans (I assume). Work required Living/dining area/bathroom - Remove and replace 2 existing ceiling light fittings with new LED light fittings and ideally a dimmer. - Replace 1 existing ceiling light fitting with a DC ceiling fan with integrated LED light. Bedroom - Replace 1 existing ceiling light fitting with a DC ceiling fan with integrated LED light with a dimmer. The ceiling fans will be installed in the same locations as the existing light fittings. No new ceiling locations are planned. The fans I am currently considering are the EGLO Surf DC Ceiling Fan with integrated LED – 48", White with Oak Timber Style blades. The ceilings are approximately 2.8 m high. 2 x 2 of the current lights are on the same switch so I think that would need some work to put a fan wall control (if possible) - See pictures Switches / dimmers I would also like the electrician to: - Check the existing wiring and wall switches. - Confirm what type of wall controller / dimmer is compatible with the new lights and ceiling fans. - Advise whether any switches or dimmers need to be replaced. - Let me know whether I should purchase these myself or whether you can supply the compatible ones. I would ideally like someone who can inspect the existing installation before I purchase the fans and lights, or review the product specifications and confirm compatibility beforehand. All new lights, fans and other fittings will be supplied by me, unless otherwise agreed. If I could have some quotes, that would be amazing. Thanks

Ceiling Fan Repair Needed

Hi, I recently had a new ceiling fan installed, but unfortunately it stopped working the following day. It was working normally immediately after installation, but now won’t turn on at all. Looking for a qualified electrician/handyperson to come out, diagnose the issue and get it working again. As it’s newly installed, I’m hoping it’s something straightforward with the wiring, connection or controller. Photo attached showing the fan

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.
