With existing wiring, ceiling fan installation is priced after an on-site evaluation. Final cost depends on ceiling height, fan size/weight, whether a fan-rated box is present, removal of the old fan, and control options like dimmers, remotes, or dual switches. We handle installs and repairs in Alexandria and nearby cities. Absolute Family Plan members receive special pricing and a 5-year warranty on installations. New customers can get $50 off any repair or installation.

Quick checks:

• Confirm a fan-rated ceiling box.
• Note ceiling height and access.
• Tell us if you want a light kit or remote.
• Share the fan model.

You can reduce a mild ceiling-fan wobble without a kit by tightening and checking the basics. If wobble persists after these steps, a mounting or box issue may be the cause and needs a pro.

• Turn power off at the switch.
• Tighten all blade, bracket, canopy, and downrod screws.
• Clean dust from blades.
• Make sure blades aren’t warped and sit at the same height.
• Verify the fan-rated box and bracket are solidly secured.
• Swap two blades to see if the wobble changes. We install, repair, and troubleshoot ceiling fans safely and to code.

Yes, you can replace a ceiling fan yourself if the existing ceiling box is fan-rated and the wiring is in good condition. If the box isn’t rated, wiring is damaged, or you need new controls or circuits, hire a licensed electrician. Absolute Electric installs and repairs ceiling fans, retrofits light kits, and integrates remote or speed controls with code-compliant workmanship.

Quick checks:

• Shut off the breaker and verify power is off.
• Confirm the ceiling box is fan-rated; if uncertain, stop.
• For new wiring, separate fan/light controls, or circuit work, use an electrician.

You can, but adding a ceiling fan with no existing wiring is not a simple DIY. It requires new cable runs, a fan‑rated ceiling box, and proper switching or controls. A licensed electrician should handle this for safety and code compliance. We install new fans, replace existing ones, retrofit light kits, and set up remote or speed controls. We can also inspect the circuit or panel as needed for safe operation in Alexandria, Sterling, and nearby areas.

Quick checks:

• Verify an accessible path (attic or crawl) for new wiring.
• Pick a fan size and light kit if desired.
• Choose wall switch or remote control.
