Ceiling Fan Installation in Sydney

Sydney summers can be brutal, and running the air conditioning all day isn’t always an option. That’s where ceiling fans come in, as a simple, cost-effective way to stay cool and keep air moving year-round.
Our licensed electricians in Sydney have installed thousands of ceiling fans in Sydney homes, apartments, offices, and commercial spaces. Whether you’re upgrading an old unit or installing a brand-new fan, we deliver quick, safe, and professional service every time.
Not sure what type of fan is right for your space? We install everything from standard ceiling fans to remote-controlled, outdoor-rated, and energy-efficient DC fans. Our team will help you compare styles, sizes, and features so you can make the right choice.
Safe, Efficient Airflow — Installed by Professionals
A properly installed ceiling fan doesn’t just cool a room. It improves air circulation, reduces energy bills, and adds comfort all year round. In summer, fans create a cooling breeze. In winter, reversing the blades pushes warm air back down, making heating more efficient.
We supply and install a wide range of ceiling fan solutions, including:
- Standard ceiling fans – Affordable and effective cooling
- Remote-controlled fans – Easy operation without wall switches
- Outdoor ceiling fans – Weather-resistant models for patios and alfresco areas
- Energy-efficient DC fans – Quiet, powerful, and cost-saving designs
- Designer fans – Modern finishes to complement your interior
Need power where there isn’t any? Our electricians can run new wiring, install switches, or connect your fan to existing lighting circuits, all in compliance with Australian Standards. If your home needs a broader electrical upgrade, we can also help with switchboard installations and repairs.

Common Ceiling Fan Questions We Hear
“Can you install a ceiling fan where there’s no existing light or wiring?”
Yes, our electricians can run new wiring and install the necessary switch or remote system.
“What’s better, an AC or DC ceiling fan?”
AC fans are more affordable upfront, while DC fans are quieter, more energy-efficient, and offer more speed options. We’ll help you decide which is best for your space.
“Can ceiling fans be installed outdoors?”
Yes, as long as you choose an outdoor-rated fan designed to handle moisture and humidity.
“Do ceiling fans actually save money on energy bills?”
Ceiling fans use a fraction of the power of air conditioning and can make your heating and cooling systems more efficient.
“How long does installation take?”
Most installations take 1–2 hours per fan, depending on the wiring and mounting requirements.
“Can you install fans in apartments?”
Yes, we regularly install fans in apartments and strata properties. We’ll work within building regulations and liaise with strata managers if required.

Ceilin Fan Installation FAQs
Do I need council or strata approval to install a ceiling fan?
In most Sydney homes, no approval is needed. However, if you live in a strata property or apartment, you may need written approval from your body corporate, especially if wiring changes are required. We can provide the necessary installation details to help you get approval quickly.
How high should a ceiling fan be installed for safety?
Australian Standards require at least 2.1 metres from the floor to the blades. If your ceilings are lower, we can recommend low-profile fans that are designed for safe installation in compact spaces.
Can a ceiling fan be wired to both a wall switch and a remote?
Yes, many models allow dual control. This setup is convenient in bedrooms and living areas where you want the option of both quick wall-switch access and the flexibility of a remote.
What’s the best type of ceiling fan for bedrooms?
For bedrooms, we usually recommend DC fans. They run almost silently, use minimal energy overnight, and often include a sleep timer for added convenience.
Are there fans designed for coastal or humid environments?
Coastal-rated ceiling fans are made with rust-resistant materials such as stainless steel or ABS plastic, making them ideal for homes near the beach or in humid conditions.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there’s a skylight or raked ceiling?
For angled or raked ceilings, we use extension rods and special mounting brackets so the fan hangs safely and functions properly.
Do ceiling fans require regular servicing?
While fans are generally low-maintenance, it’s a good idea to have them checked every few years for balance, wiring safety, and dust build-up. This keeps them running smoothly and quietly.
