Ceiling Fans · Palo Alto, California
Ceiling fan installation in Palo Alto runs into the same two problems every time: the box in the ceiling is not fan-rated, and there is only one switch leg for two things. We fix both — proper fan-rated bracing and the wiring to control the light and fan separately — anywhere in Palo Alto, California.
Scope of work
Whether you searched for ceiling fan installation Palo Alto, ceiling fan replacement Palo Alto or simply electrician near me, this is the crew that turns up. We work across Palo Alto and the neighbouring California towns, and we give you the price for the described work before anything starts.
How it goes
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Old fuse box, 60 amp service, and a kitchen remodel booked in six weeks. They handled the utility coordination and the inspection so I did not have to.
Smart switches in a 1970s house with no neutrals anywhere. They ran neutrals to nine boxes and everything works from the app and from the wall.
Straightforward quote, no upsell, showed up when they said. Added four outlets and a dedicated circuit for the freezer in half a day.
Questions
Only if it is fan-rated. A standard fixture box is not built for the dynamic load of a spinning fan and will eventually loosen. We install a fan-rated box and brace as part of every install.
Yes. If there is only one switch leg we either pull an extra conductor or fit a compatible remote or smart control that separates the two.
A replacement onto an existing fan-rated box is under an hour. A new fan where no fixture exists takes longer because of the box, bracing and switch wiring.
Damp-rated for covered patios, wet-rated for exposed areas. An indoor fan on a patio will corrode and become a hazard.
Both. Residential work covers repairs, remodels, rewires and installations. Commercial work covers offices, retail, restaurants and warehouses in Palo Alto, and we schedule it outside your trading hours where we can.
It is not automatically dangerous, but it is a limit. Fuse boxes cap what you can add, insurers increasingly ask about them, and replacements get harder to source. Most Palo Alto homeowners upgrade when they add an EV charger, an AC unit or a kitchen.
