Installing ceiling fans in your home can be an inexpensive way to increase energy efficiency. However, the cost of installation depends on the type of fan you choose and the style of your home. If you have no existing wiring, you may need to drill holes and run wires and boxes to install the fan. This can cost anywhere from $350 to more than $2,000, and it is also necessary to consider the electrical costs, such as replacing the circuit breaker.
Installing ceiling fans in areas without existing wiring is likely to cost more because the electrician must cut through floors, walls, and ceilings to run new wiring. Choosing a professional who is experienced will ensure that the fan is properly balanced, secured to the ceiling joists, and wired safely. Installation costs may also include installing a wall switch to turn the fan on and off. In some cases, you may choose to install a pull-chain switch instead.
Adding a remote control to your ceiling fan will add another $100 to $170 to the total cost of the project. If you do not want to install a remote control yourself, you can purchase a remote-control kit for under $20. The electrician will then install the remote in the fan housing. Retractable blade ceiling fans are more cost-efficient than conventional fans and can reduce utility bills. Retractable blade fans can range in price from $200 to $800.
