Ceiling Fan Installation in Santa Rosa, CA
A ceiling fan can make a room feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler during Sonoma County's hot summers, and reversed in winter, it pushes warm ceiling air back down where you actually feel it. J&J Electric installs ceiling fans throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County — simple swaps, light-to-fan conversions, and brand-new installations where nothing exists yet.
- Real pricing by job type, not one vague number. A simple swap costs differently than a brand-new install, and we'll tell you which one you need.
- Only one switch controlling your fan and light? We have two real fixes — a second switch or a wireless remote receiver.
- We use fan-rated boxes every time. A ceiling fan is heavier and more dynamic than a light fixture — the box has to be rated for it.

What Is Ceiling Fan Installation?
Ceiling fan installation covers three distinct job types: replacing an existing fan, converting a light-only fixture into a fan, and installing a fan where no fixture exists at all — each with real differences in what's involved and how long it takes. A ceiling fan is significantly heavier and more dynamic than a standard light fixture, which means the electrical box it hangs from has to be specifically rated to support that weight and motion safely. J&J Electric installs ceiling fans throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County under one C-10 license, #1078243, indoors and on covered outdoor spaces.
Our Process
Here's what happens after you call (707) 480-8331:
- You tell us your situation. A simple swap, a light-to-fan conversion, or a brand-new install — and whether it's indoor or a covered outdoor space.
- We check your existing box and wiring. Confirming whether it's fan-rated already, or needs upgrading.
- You get a written estimate. Priced by job type, before any work starts.
- We install and balance. Fan mounted securely, wired correctly, and blades balanced for smooth, quiet operation.
- We test everything. Fan and light function confirmed, including remote or switch control, before we call the job done.
How Much Does Ceiling Fan Installation Cost?
Ceiling fan installation is priced by job type — a simple replacement on existing wiring costs less than converting a light fixture to a fan, which costs less than a brand-new installation requiring new wiring. We give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Only One Switch? Here's How to Get Independent Fan & Light Control
Many older Sonoma County homes have just one wall switch controlling the entire ceiling fixture location — meaning the fan and light turn on and off together, whether you want that or not. There are two real ways to fix this:
- Add a second wall switch for fully independent, hardwired control of the fan and light separately.
- Install a wireless remote receiver inside the fan's canopy which gives you full independent control without running any additional wall wiring — often the faster, less invasive option.
We'll walk you through both so you can choose based on what matters more to you — cost, wall switch preference, or minimal wall work.
Ceiling Fan Installation
What's Included — Ceiling Fan Services We Handle
Simple Fan Replacement
Removing an old fan and installing a new one on existing wiring — the most common, most straightforward job, typically the quickest turnaround.
Light Fixture to Ceiling Fan Conversion
Converting a light-only fixture location into a fan, including upgrading to a fan-rated junction box that can safely support the added weight and motion.
New Installation (No Existing Fixture)
Running new wiring and cutting a ceiling opening where nothing currently exists — the most involved job type, priced and scheduled accordingly.
Outdoor & Covered Patio Fans
Damp-rated or wet-rated fans for covered patios, porches, and pergolas, with outdoor-appropriate wiring — a real, distinct capability, not a standard indoor fan installed outside.
Independent Fan & Light Control
A second switch or a wireless remote receiver for homes with only one switch controlling the fixture, as covered above.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ceiling fan installation cost?
It depends on the job type — a simple replacement costs less than a light-to-fan conversion, which costs less than a brand-new installation. You get a written estimate before work begins.
How long does ceiling fan installation take?
Simple replacements often take about an hour, light-to-fan conversions 1.5-2 hours, and new installations with wiring 2-3 hours.
I only have one switch — can I control my fan and light separately?
Yes — either by adding a second wall switch, or by installing a wireless remote receiver inside the fan's canopy that needs no additional wall wiring.
Can a ceiling fan be installed on my covered patio or porch?
Yes — using a fan specifically rated for damp or wet locations, with outdoor-appropriate wiring.
Why does my ceiling fan need a special electrical box?
A ceiling fan is heavier and creates more motion and vibration than a standard light fixture. The box it hangs from has to be specifically rated to support that safely.
Will a ceiling fan actually help with our hot summers?
Yes — a properly installed fan can make a room feel noticeably cooler, which can meaningfully reduce reliance on air conditioning during Sonoma County's hot summer months.
Should my ceiling fan spin a different direction in winter?
Yes — reversing the direction in winter helps circulate warm air that collects near the ceiling back down into the room.
What ceiling fan brands do you install?
We work with major ceiling fan brands and can help you choose the right one for your room and budget.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — California C-10 #1078243, fully insured. You can verify the license yourself at cslb.ca.gov.
