Ceiling Fans · San Francisco, California
Ceiling fan installation in San Francisco 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 San Francisco, California.
Scope of work

We work across San Francisco 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
Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, none of which had fan-rated boxes. They braced every one properly instead of just hanging them off the old box.
Called at 11pm with half the house dead and a smell coming off the panel. Someone answered, and a van was outside by half midnight. Found a burnt neutral, isolated it that night and came back Tuesday to do it properly.
Two EVs, one 100 amp panel, and three other companies who said it could not be done. Ascot did the load calc, upgraded the service and put in load-sharing chargers. Both cars charge overnight now.
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.
We cover San Francisco itself, its surrounding neighbourhoods and the towns nearby. Ascot Electricians works across California, so if you are just outside the city limits, call (888) 592-6466 and we will confirm coverage in a minute.
Yes. EV charger installation in San Francisco includes a load calculation on your existing service, the dedicated circuit, and the Level 2 charger, Tesla Wall Connector or NEMA 14-50 outlet. If the panel cannot carry it, we will tell you what the upgrade costs before you commit.
