Pirro Electric handles ceiling fan install for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Annapolis, MD. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: fan-rated electrical box installation, new ceiling fan installs where no fixture exists, and replacing existing light fixtures with ceiling fans.
Downtown Annapolis is a historic district with 18th–19th century homes, brick walls, and tight permitting through the Historic Preservation Commission. Waterfront properties also require careful attention to GFCI protection, marine-grade wiring, and storm-driven outage prep.
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.
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.

What Affects the Price of Ceiling Fan Installation in Annapolis
Every quote is written after an on-site look. These are the variables that move the number:
- Whether a fan-rated box already exists
- Ceiling height (vaulted/sloped ceilings cost more)
- New circuit run vs. replacement of existing fixture
- Switching configuration (single, dual, or remote)
- Fan brand/type (heavy fans need stronger bracing)
