Can I just replace my light fixture with a ceiling fan?

Only if the existing box is rated for fans. If it's a standard light box, we'll swap it for a fan-rated one before installing.

How long does a ceiling fan install take?

Replacing a fan with a fan-rated box already in place: 30–60 minutes. New install with no existing fixture: 2–4 hours depending on access.

Do you supply the fan or do I?

You supply the fan - we install it. You'll get exactly the model/finish you want and we don't mark up hardware.

Are you licensed to do ceiling fan install in Columbia, MD?

Yes. Pirro Electric is fully licensed and insured to perform commercial and residential electrical work in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., including Columbia. We pull all required permits and coordinate inspections with the local jurisdiction on every job.
