Can I install a ceiling fan myself without existing wiring?

You can, but adding a ceiling fan without existing wiring requires new electrical work. A licensed electrician will shut off the breaker, run new feed, neutral, and ground wires, and install a fan‑rated box with joist hangers or a larger box to support the weight and movement. If you’re replacing a light fixture, the box often needs reinforcement. Our licensed Denver electricians typically complete installs in 1 to 2 hours and follow local code. We can handle permits when required.
