Can I replace a ceiling fan myself without hiring an electrician?
Yes, you can replace a ceiling fan yourself if the existing box is fan‑rated and the wiring is intact. If you’re converting a light to a fan or the box isn’t fan‑rated, hire a licensed electrician. Our Denver electricians shut off the breaker, disconnect feed, neutral, and ground, reinforce with joist hangers or a larger fan box as needed, and assemble the motor and blades. Professional installs typically take 1–2 hours, even without attic access.

"Jeremiah installed a new ceiling fan. It wasn’t easy. He was efficient, friendly, and clearly an expert at what he does." — Sam M.
