Can I install a ceiling fan myself without existing wiring?

You can, but it’s not a simple DIY. Without existing wiring, you’ll need new wiring and a fan‑rated ceiling box to meet NEC 314.27, plus a structural/wiring assessment. Our Longmont electricians handle code checks, secure mounting, and testing. Typical installs take 2–4 hours. Pricing is usually $150–$500 per fan, and we include a 1‑year ceiling‑fan warranty.

Quick checks before you start:

  • Verify a fan‑rated ceiling box (not just a light box).
  • Confirm neutral, hot, and ground are present.
  • Ensure circuit capacity and proper switch/control plan.
