Ceiling fan installation in Charlotte, NC
Starting at $185 — a starting point, not a final estimate
Fan wobble usually comes from the box rather than the fan itself. Before anything is hung we confirm the ceiling box is fan-rated and secure, then assemble, mount, balance and run the fan through every speed and the reverse switch.

Questions about this service
- Do I need a special ceiling box?
- Yes — fans must hang from a fan-rated box or brace. If yours isn't, we'll tell you before installing; a standard light box is not safe to hang a fan from.
- Can you replace a light with a fan where there's no fan wiring?
- If it's a straight swap onto existing wiring with a fan-rated box, yes. Running new wiring or adding a separate fan switch is licensed electrical work.
- Why does my current fan wobble?
- Usually an unbraced box, a bent blade bracket, or blades that were never balanced. We check all three.
