Why Choose Our Electricians

When you invite someone into your home to work near your family and your wiring, you want to know they take both seriously. At MJ Carr Electrical Services, our company is led by a Master Electrician who sets the standards for how our electricians install and test every ceiling fan. That leadership helps us focus on safety and code compliance on every visit.

Our team has more than twenty years of experience working in South Shore communities, including many houses in and around Whitman. We are familiar with the quirks of older homes, such as plaster ceilings, shallow boxes, and mixed generations of wiring. This background helps us quickly identify whether your existing setup can safely support a fan or if upgrades are recommended.

We also know that having contractors in your home can be stressful. Our electricians arrive on time whenever possible, communicate clearly, and work to protect your floors and furniture by using drop cloths and careful setup. Before we leave, we clean up our work area and review what we have done so you are not left with questions or debris.

As an Authorized Lutron Installer, we can connect your new fan to compatible lighting controls when that fits your project. This can be helpful if you are updating switches or adding dimming and smart controls simultaneously. For many customers, we can offer same-day or prompt appointments, especially for straightforward fan replacements, so you are not waiting long during a hot or humid stretch.

Our Ceiling Fan Installation Service

Every home and business is a little different, so we take time to understand your specific situation before we begin work. Some homeowners call us to replace a noisy or wobbly fan, while others want to convert an existing light fixture to a fan. We also hear from people who are finishing a basement, sunroom, or addition and want a new fan wired from scratch.

During a typical visit, we start by inspecting the existing electrical box, wiring, and switch that will serve the fan. Many light fixture boxes are not rated to support the weight and movement of a ceiling fan. If we find that your box is not fan-rated, we explain the options for installing an appropriate support box that is secured to framing and meets current electrical standards.

We can install fans on standard flat ceilings, vaulted or sloped ceilings, and in rooms with higher ceilings that require a downrod. Our electricians also work with a variety of fan options, from simple pull-chain models to units with integrated LED lighting and remote controls. When you want wall-mounted controls or to use existing three-way switches, we evaluate your wiring and talk through what is practical for your layout.

Our goal is to avoid surprises during your project. If we discover any issues, such as outdated wiring or a box that needs reinforcement, we describe what is involved and provide pricing before we move forward. That way, you can decide how you want to proceed without feeling pressured on the spot.

Examples of ceiling fan projects we handle:

  • Bedroom fan replacements to improve comfort at night
  • Living room upgrades where a light fixture is converted to a fan with light
  • Kitchen or dining area fans that work with existing lighting circuits
  • Outdoor-rated fans on covered porches or three-season rooms
  • Multiple fan installations during remodels or basement finishes

Whether your project is a single fan or part of a larger electrical update, we work to install your equipment securely and in line with current electrical codes.

What To Expect On Installation Day

Knowing what will happen when the electrician arrives helps you plan your day and feel more comfortable with the process. When you schedule your appointment, we provide an arrival window and confirm basic details about your fan and location. On the day of service, our electrician arrives in a clearly marked vehicle, introduces themselves, and reviews the plan with you before getting started.

To help the visit go smoothly, you can:

  • Clear furniture and fragile items from directly under the fan location
  • Make sure pets and children stay clear of the work area
  • Have your new fan, remote, and any manuals available for our electrician
  • Share any previous issues you noticed, such as flickering lights or tripped breakers

This simple preparation allows us to focus on the installation itself and usually helps the job move along more efficiently.

We begin by shutting off power to the circuit at the panel and confirming that the power is off at the ceiling box. If there is an existing light or fan, we carefully remove it and check the box, wiring connections, and mounting support. When a new fan-rated box or additional bracing is needed, we install it so the fan is firmly supported and can withstand movement over time.

Once the support is in place, we assemble and mount the fan according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure the blades have proper clearance from walls and ceilings. We then connect the wiring to match your desired controls, whether that is pull chains, a wall switch, or an included remote kit. After everything is secured, we restore power and thoroughly test the fan and light functions.

Testing includes running the fan at different speeds, checking for excessive wobble, and confirming that reversing and lighting functions operate as expected. If any adjustments are needed, we make them before we pack up. Before leaving, we remove our tools and protective coverings, tidy the work area, and walk you through how to use any new controls or features so you feel confident using your new fan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ceiling fan installation usually cost?

Pricing depends on whether we are replacing an existing fan or light, or running new wiring and installing a fan-rated box. We offer free estimates so you know costs before you commit. After we see your setup in person, we explain options and pricing clearly.

Can you replace my existing light with a ceiling fan?

Yes, in many cases, we can convert an existing light location to a ceiling fan. We first check whether the current box is rated to support a fan and upgrade it if needed. We then handle any wiring changes required so the fan and light operate the way you prefer.

How long will my ceiling fan installation take?

A straightforward fan replacement typically takes one to two hours, while conversions or new wiring usually take longer. The exact time depends on access to the ceiling, the condition of the box, and any required upgrades. When we provide your estimate, we can outline a reasonable time frame.

Do I need to buy the fan before you come?

Most customers purchase the fan they like before scheduling, and we are happy to install homeowner-supplied equipment. If you are unsure what type of fan will work best, we can talk through details when you call. Bringing manuals and included parts helps us complete the job efficiently.
