Ceiling fans are an essential part of how Melbourne homes stay cool when the temperature rises. Whether you’re looking to add fans, indoors or outdoors, or need to replace a faulty fan, it can be tempting to want to DIY the work. However, if these are installed improperly, they can become a hazard to you and your family.
That’s just one reason why regulations don’t permit homeowners to install their own ceiling fans. Instead, you can turn to a qualified, licensed, and insured electrician to supply and install a fan properly for your home.
At Brighter Visions Electrical Services, we provide professional ceiling fan installation in Melbourne. We’re well-versed in exactly what it takes to ensure that your fan is properly installed with the right support and electrical wiring.
When it comes to ceiling fan installation in Melbourne, you’re going to want to turn to an electrician for help. This includes brand new fans, where new mounting hardware and wiring will be needed, as well as replacement fans.
Many homeowners think that it should be a simple swap job if they are replacing a ceiling fan, but in reality, this can still become complicated. An electrician will check to make sure the wiring to the fan is still in proper condition. They will also confirm that there is adequate support in the ceiling itself for the new fan.
In some cases, you may not even need to replace your ceiling fan. It might just need some repair work instead. Here are some signs that you need an electrician:
• Flickering lights
• Shaking and rattling
• Sounds when turned on
• Dimmers no longer work
• Speed variation not working
No matter the project type, it shouldn’t take long for you to get up and running with a new ceiling fan in your home.
• For a brand-new ceiling fan installation, an electrician should take between 2-3 hours on average to complete the job. This includes running new wiring, checking ceiling supports, and installing a new switch on the wall to allow for operation.
• The replacement and repair can take much less time. In most cases, a swap-out project can take an hour in total to complete, assuming that the electrician can use the same electrical boxes and wiring that are already in place. Repairs will vary since it depends on what is wrong with the unit and how extensive the repair work is.
A few factors can slow the process down overall. One is if your ceiling is overly high or the fan is difficult to reach. Another is whether there is adequate access to the ceiling from an attic or loft space to run new wiring from.
