- Replacing a light fixture with a fan
- Adding a fan to a room with no existing fixture

What to ask before you book
Bring the fan or ask what to buy. Ask whether the existing box is rated for a fan and whether new wiring is needed.
Have the property address and a short description ready. Our planning guide has a checklist.
What changes the cost
Fan installs are usually quick when the right box is already in place. What moves the price:
- Whether a fan-rated ceiling box is already installed
- Ceiling height and access
- New wiring or a separate switch leg
- Fan size, downrod and assembly time
Permits and inspections
Replacing a fan on an existing rated box often needs no permit; running new wiring does. In Washington, most electrical work needs a permit bought before work starts. When you hire an electrical contractor, the contractor must buy the permit for the job. Depending on the address, permits and inspections are handled by the city or by Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I).

Common questions about ceiling fan installation
Can a fan go where a light fixture is now?
Only if the ceiling box is fan-rated. Standard light boxes are not built for a fan's weight and movement, so the box is checked or upgraded first.
My ceiling is vaulted. Can I still have a fan?
Yes, with the right downrod length and a fan rated for sloped ceilings.
Can a fan and its light work on one switch?
Yes. Options include pull chains, a remote, or a dual wall control, depending on the wiring in place.
Why does my fan wobble?
Usually unbalanced blades or loose mounting. Balancing kits and tightening often fix it; a persistent wobble is worth a look.
