I want to install a ceiling fan in an area that doesn’t have existing electrical wiring. Is that something you do?

Yes! We can install a ceiling fan in virtually any room. Cost/time/labor will be higher because our highly trained electrical contractors will have to break through walls, floors, and/or ceilings to run new wiring and power to the fan.
