FAQs
Got questions? We've answered the most common ones here.
Is certification included with ceiling fan installation?
Yes. All electrical work is certified with a Certificate of Compliance issued by a registered electrician.
Do ceiling fans help with cooling and heating costs?
Yes. Ceiling fans circulate air, which makes a room feel cooler in summer and helps push warm air down from the ceiling in winter. Many models have a winter reverse mode, which we set up as part of the install.
Can outdoor and patio ceiling fans be installed?
Yes. We install IP-rated outdoor ceiling fans for covered patios, decks and outdoor entertainment areas. Outdoor fans need to be rated for the conditions where they are mounted, especially near the coast.
Are ceiling fans safe in bathrooms?
Standard ceiling fans cannot be used in bathrooms. We install IP-rated fans designed for damp areas where required, and follow the zone separation rules under the Wiring Regulations.
Can you install ceiling fans with lights and remote controls?
Yes. We install fans with integrated LED lights, dimmer switches, wall controls and remote controls, and can link them to a smart home system if you have one.
Do you repair ceiling fans that have stopped working?
Yes. Common faults include capacitor failure, faulty pull cords, worn bearings and remote control issues. We diagnose the fault, quote the repair, and recommend replacing the unit if that is more cost effective.
Can you install ceiling fans where there is no existing wiring?
Yes. We run new wiring from your switchboard or an existing light circuit, install a wall switch or remote control, and mount the fan. New wiring jobs take longer and cost a bit more than a swap onto an existing point, and the fixed quote says which one you are getting.
