Replacement Pricing
Replacing an existing ceiling fan — existing wiring, existing fan-rated box — typically ranges from $75–$150 in South Florida when the customer provides the fan.
Factors that add cost: Ceiling height above 9 feet. Replacing a light fixture with a fan (box may need upgrading). Remote or smart control configuration. Very heavy fans.
New Installation (No Existing Fixture)
New installation where no wiring or box exists typically runs $200–$500+ and may require a licensed electrician depending on the wiring scope.
What to Have Ready
The fan, unboxed. Your preference for control method. Ceiling height. Whether you want fan and light on the same switch or separate.
The Florida Consideration
Outdoor ceiling fans for covered patios must be rated for wet or damp locations. Standard indoor fans degrade quickly in outdoor Florida conditions.
