    Ceiling Fan Installation in Arlington, VA - Pirro Electric

    Pirro Electric handles ceiling fan install for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Arlington, VA. 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.

    Arlington's Rosslyn-Ballston and Crystal City/Pentagon City corridors are lined with 1960s-80s high-rises and office towers, where the recurring work is tenant fit-outs, feeder and panel capacity checks, and lighting retrofits every time a unit or office turns over. Single-family neighborhoods like Lyon Park, Cherrydale, and pockets near Courthouse are full of brick colonials from the 1940s-60s with aluminum branch wiring and undersized 60-100 amp services that predate central air and EV chargers.

    Before You Book

    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 Arlington

    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)
