Replacing an existing light or fan with a new ceiling fan typically costs about
$150 to $350 for installation. Installing a fan where there’s
no existing wiring usually runs about
$400 to $1,000 or more. The fan itself is extra. Want help? See our

Why a Fan-Rated Box Matters
Fans are heavy and they move. A standard light box can work loose. We install a fan-rated box or brace secured to the framing.
Save by Doing Several at Once
Installing several fans in one visit usually costs less per fan.
