Ceiling Fan Installation in Los Angeles
Updated 1 min read

A ceiling fan is one of the most cost-effective upgrades for an LA home — it cuts cooling costs and keeps rooms comfortable year-round. But a fan is heavier and more demanding than a light fixture, so installation is worth doing right. 911 Construction & Electric installs ceiling fans across Los Angeles.
What We Handle
- Replacing an existing fan or light fixture with a new fan
- New installations in rooms with no existing ceiling fixture (we run the wiring)
- Fan-rated box upgrades so the fan is mounted safely
- Switch and control wiring — wall controls, remotes, and smart switches
- High ceilings and downrods for vaulted rooms
Why It's Not Always a DIY Job
A ceiling fan can weigh 15–50 pounds and it moves — so it must hang from a fan-rated electrical box anchored to the framing, not a standard light box. Installing into the wrong box is a common cause of wobbling and, worse, fans coming loose. If there's no existing fixture or switch, new wiring has to be run and connected correctly. A licensed electrician makes sure it's mounted securely and wired to code.
