Why You Can't Just Hang a Fan from a Light Box
Standard ceiling light boxes aren't rated for the dynamic load of a spinning fan - and almost every "fan fell out of the ceiling" story you've heard traces back to this. Code requires a fan-rated box, secured to a brace or joist, before a fan goes up.
We install the proper fan-rated box (and a brace if needed) on every job - even if the existing box looks fine.
Adding a Fan Where None Exists
If you don't have a ceiling fixture in the room, we'll fish a circuit, cut in a fan box, and add a switch. Cleanest results come from running the wire through the attic above. For second floors with finished space above, we still get it done - we just use access panels and minimal cuts.
Switching Options
Three good options: a single switch with a pull chain on the fan; dual switches for separate fan and light control; or a remote control with a wall-mounted holder. We'll walk you through tradeoffs - dual switching is best for daily use; remotes are convenient but eventually fail.
