Hang It Safely
A ceiling fan is heavier than a light, and it moves. So it needs a box made for fans. A normal light box can come loose over time.
Next, pick the right size. Then think about controls. A second wire lets you run the fan and light on separate switches.
Before you install:
⚡ Use a fan-rated box
⚡ Pick the right size for the room
⚡ Check ceiling height (8 feet or more is best)
⚡ Decide on wall switch, pull chain or remote
⚡ Plan a second switch for the light kit

Quick Answers
⚡ Can I put a ceiling fan where a light is?
Usually, yes. We check the box first. If it isn’t fan-rated, we swap it for one that is.
⚡ What size fan do I need?
For most bedrooms, a 42 to 48 inch fan works. Big living rooms often need 52 inches or more.
⚡ Can you add a fan where there is no wiring?
Yes. We can run new wire and add a switch. We work through the attic when we can to limit drywall work.

“It was a very easy process, very friendly and experienced electricians. They installed 9 can lights, 7 outlets, 2 switches with dimmers and a ceiling fan. It looks great and at a reasonable price. Voltex is now my go to electrical company.”
