How Ceiling Fan Installation Works in Carlsbad
Junction Box Check
Before any fan goes up, we verify the existing junction box is fan-rated. If it is a standard light fixture box, we replace it with a fan-rated box braced to ceiling structure before mounting the fan.
Fan Assembly + Mounting
We assemble the fan per manufacturer instructions, mount to the fan-rated box, and secure all hardware. Blade balance is verified during the test spin.
Wiring + Controls
We wire the fan, light kit, and remote receiver. If you want separate wall switches for fan and light (rather than a remote only), we discuss wiring options and quote accordingly.
Test + Cleanup
We run the fan at all speeds, test the light kit and remote, check for wobble or noise, and clean the work area. Any blade balance adjustment is done before we leave.

Most ceiling fan installations in Carlsbad are completed in 1–2 hours. Installations requiring junction box upgrades or dual switch wiring add time. We provide an estimate of the total time when scheduling.
Not without first upgrading the box. Standard light fixture boxes are not rated for the dynamic load of a spinning fan. We replace the existing box with a fan-rated box or install a brace bar fan box between joists before mounting the fan — this is included in our installation if needed.
Covered patio locations in Carlsbad require a fan rated for damp locations at minimum — wet-rated if the patio can receive any rain or direct spray. Standard indoor fans will corrode rapidly in coastal Carlsbad's salt air. We specify the correct rating for your specific location.
Yes. Fan wobble is usually caused by an improperly mounted fan box, unbalanced blades, or loose blade arms. We diagnose the root cause and correct it — whether that means remounting, balancing the blades, or replacing the fan.
Yes, if the existing ceiling box has a two-conductor cable from the wall switch. If it only has one conductor, adding separate fan and light switches requires running additional wiring. We assess the wiring situation during the estimate.
Cost depends on whether a junction box upgrade is needed, indoor vs. outdoor location, and switch wiring requirements. Call (858) 663-5564 for a free estimate.
