Why it matters

Ceiling Fan Installation in Austin since 1983

A ceiling fan weighs more than a light fixture and moves while it does it. The box it hangs from has to be rated for a fan, and a standard lighting box is not.

We install new fans where there was no fixture, replace existing ones, run new circuits and switch legs, and fit remote or wall controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Austin?

Every install is different - cost depends on whether wiring already exists, the ceiling height, the fan type, and whether new switch controls are needed. Because those factors vary, the only reliable way to get an accurate number is a quick look. Malco Electric provides free estimates with honest, upfront quotes - no surprises.

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

Yes. We run new wiring, install a fan-rated support box, and add wall switch controls where there's never been a fixture. It's a common request in bedrooms, offices, and covered patios - we handle it start to finish.

Can I put a ceiling fan on a high or vaulted ceiling?

Absolutely. High, sloped, and vaulted ceilings need the right downrod length and a sloped-ceiling adapter for safe mounting. We have the equipment to reach and install fans safely on tall and angled ceilings.

Do I need a special box for a ceiling fan?

Yes - ceiling fans require a fan-rated support box designed to hold the weight and handle the movement of a spinning fan. A standard light fixture box is not safe for a fan. We always verify and install the correct box as part of the job.

Can you install a fan with a light and separate switches?

Yes. We wire fans with light kits so the fan and light operate on separate controls, and we can add remote controls. If you also want to explore recessed or accent lighting, see our lighting installation services.
