Ceiling Fan Installation in Tallahassee

Keep cool and save on energy costs with a properly installed ceiling fan

DIY Ceiling Fan Challenges

Ceiling fan installation looks straightforward until you're standing on a ladder holding a 30-pound fan while trying to connect wires. Beyond the difficulty, improper installation creates safety risks.

Heavy fans require proper ceiling box support - not just any box will do
Improper wiring can cause the fan to run only on one speed
Wobbly fans are annoying and indicate balance or mounting issues
Working overhead with electrical connections is awkward and potentially dangerous

Professional Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans are one of the most cost-effective ways to stay comfortable in Florida. HK & Sons provides expert ceiling fan installation throughout Tallahassee, whether you’re replacing an old fan, converting a light fixture, or adding a fan to a new location.

Why Ceiling Fans Make Sense

In Florida’s climate, ceiling fans are essential:

Energy savings - Fans let you raise the thermostat 4+ degrees while feeling just as cool
Year-round use - Reverse direction in winter to push warm air down
Better air circulation - Reduce hot and cold spots in your home
Light integration - Many fans include lights, replacing two fixtures with one

Types of Installations

Fan Replacement: Swapping an old fan for a new one is straightforward if the existing box is fan-rated. We’ll verify support, assemble your new fan, and ensure smooth operation.

Light Fixture Conversion: Converting a light fixture to a ceiling fan requires a fan-rated box capable of supporting the weight and vibration. We upgrade the box as part of the installation.

New Location Installation: Adding a fan where there’s no existing fixture requires running new wiring. Feasibility depends on attic access and circuit availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a ceiling fan where there's currently a light fixture?

Usually yes, but the ceiling box must be replaced with a fan-rated box that can support the weight and motion. We'll check the existing box and upgrade it if needed - this is included in our standard installation.

What size ceiling fan do I need?

Fan size depends on room size. Generally: under 75 sq ft needs 29-36 inch, 75-144 sq ft needs 36-42 inch, 144-225 sq ft needs 44-50 inch, and over 225 sq ft needs 52 inch or larger. We can recommend the right size for your space.

Can I have a ceiling fan without a light?

Absolutely. Many fans come as fan-only models, and most light-kit fans can be installed without the light if you prefer. This is common in bedrooms where existing lighting is adequate.
